 Pre-Gig acceptance discussions go fine.
 Client kept well updated on project progress
 Client happy
 Early delivery made
 Client expresses happiness, thanks and praise with your work
 



 Begins trying to ask advice post delivery outside agreed scope of supply.
 Calls for commitments that were never made
 Shown clipped comms exchange - client agrees
 Then tries again, and again - rinse repeat
 Extremely manipulative - almost bi-polar
 



 Exercising sincere diplomacy
 Offer an extra time for further discussion - via Fiverr
 Client never picks up on this
 Continues trying to ask for more unpaid information
 Seems to be trying to push towards final payment acceptance - feel question time
 Eventually offered a separate consulting Gig
 Client finally accepts.
 


..
 Scope twice confirmed before order, directly after order placement
 Project starts
 Regular updates
 Early delivery
 Cycle repeats - questions beyond agreed time agreed
 Please check this, please check that, I only have a small budget... etc
 I hold firm and offer an extension to the Gig - multiple times
 When client finally realizes the 'free consultation' has closed - rage quits - pays - storms off
 



 I have been in the Engineering Consulting game for nearly 40 years, but am new to Fiverr. This is one of the worst clients I have ever encountered. Very manipulative, bordering on abusive. With face-to-face discussions, this kind of client normally just storms off in a huff when they don't get everything free they try for.
 
I'd love to hear comments from our experienced Fiverrs...
