I've been using the promoted gigs feature since its release and although I don't have any sales through it marked yet, I do see people landing in my inbox through promotion. The daily budget you'll set would rarely be fully expended, but still feel free to set a daily limit you'd be absolutely comfortable with! You can treat it as a cost that you are "ready to risk/lose" as there are no guaranteed sales. Also, if you are not using proven free methods to promote your gig then it doesn't make sense to spend money to do so, at least imo. I personally go with $5 to $10 per day and it usually ends up charging me between $1 to $3 a day, and the variance is huge when it comes to different gigs - some barely get any views, while others would expend even 90% of the allocated budget, so it all depends on what people are searching for Live it seems. I hope this helps. ^^

Hello. If you already had clients on this gig, I don't think you can remove it, you can only archive it (unless anything changed from how I remember it). Try to resolve the action by following the instructions. Also, try signing out and in after clearing your browser cache. If the issue persists still - just contact support and they'll look into it.

I can't imagine what you must be going through. Apart from what you've been recommended so far, keep in mind - extortion is a real-life crime. Gear yourself with a GoPro, a whistle/alarm, and pepper spray if you have to, but don't hesitate to contact local authorities if this continues. Stay safe.
