As a Level One seller, I've consistently delivered top-notch service, evident in the glowing feedback and five-star ratings I've received from over 20 satisfied clients in the past 20 days alone. Despite this, a recent encounter has left me disheartened. 

I completed an order for a single-page translation with utmost precision, ensuring accuracy at every step. However, upon delivery acceptance, the buyer expressed disappointment, citing a preference for an Iranian translator. Despite my reassurances of the translation's accuracy and request for feedback on any perceived errors, the buyer remained unresponsive. 

To my dismay, I was subsequently rated with one star and received negative feedback, unjustly criticizing my skills as a writer and translator. This unwarranted rating has had a detrimental impact on my account, evident in the sudden absence of client inquiries. 

This experience raises concerns about the presence of prejudice in our community. It is disheartening to be penalized solely based on nationality rather than the quality of work delivered. I seek your guidance on navigating this setback and mitigating its adverse effects on my account.
