Hi guys, some days ago a buyer contacted me regarding one of my gig, I have an automatic message welcoming the buyer but I'm well aware you should still reply. Indeed 29min later I wanted to reply but buyer already blocked me by then (without any reason). 

At the bottom of the chat Fiverr message says 

" xxxxxxxx can no longer be contacted. This will not affect your response rate"

Today I casually see my response rate dropped to 96% (huh?) That was the only message I didn't reply to and when I checked the conversation the buyer did unblocked me. 

This is so damn unfair and Fiverr should not allow this, this is not the first time happening to my account that someone contacted me and blocked me right away and I have a feeling that these "buyers" operate on purpose to drop sellers response rates. 

Did anyone else have this experience? Did you solve with CS? 

Buyer blocks me but my response rate dropped!!!!
