I have received an order from a New Buyer recently. He initially asked me for a video chat which i passively ignored hoping he can find another seller. He ended up purchasing my service, and upon seeing his requirements, I decided to cancel as he requested something that is out of the scope. The buyer rejected my cancellation and told me it was okay to continue without his specific demand. As a seller, I decided it was not best to continue working with him, so i again requested for cancellation politely. He began to keep rejecting me and demanding me to finish the project for him (he also ordered an extra fast delivery). 

I have tried to ask for customer support to help me cancel but customer support says they cannot cancel the gig for me. Now i feel the buyer is waiting for the order to be marked as a late delivery in order to give me a negative cancelled review. What can I do in this case? 

1) No transaction has taken place, no delivery, and continued reasoning with buyer to cancel 

2) I've asked to cancel the order 48 hours before project deadline (as client ordered 72 hours delivery duration) 

3) I've asked CS to help me address this 

4) I told the buyer there are many other sellers they can work with and also told them that i could not finish their requirements in time and even asked for an extension (this was rejected) 

The buyer is clearly a red flag with a sign of agenda, what can i do? 

Buyer not accepting cancellation
