I was bummed by the fact that I couldn’t leave a review after I was forced to cancel two orders, from two different sellers. I requested for them to do product descriptions to which they both agreed, however my expierience with these sellers was garbage. The first seller promised me that the gig would be finnished within 3 days and gave me updates where he stated that there has been progress and I have nothing to worry about, another day passes and he told me that he is almost finished and that I will recieve my word file by the next day. I heard nothing from him that day, radio silence. The day after the deadline I woke up to message saying that he is sorry, but he wont be able to deliver the work he promised.

The second seller in question turned everything in on time, however there was a BIG ISSUE. The work was 100% plagiarised. She took product descriptions straight from amazon without bothering to change a single thing and turned the work in as her own. Once again this was blamed on a partner and she told be that she was busy preparing for her wedding.

How is this acceptable? And why can’t I warn other people about potential fraud and potential lawsuits because the work was plagiarised? This could’ve been prevented if there was actually an honest review system in place. Now it seems that you can only leave a review if you were pleased by the results.

Sure I got my money back, but my time was wasted. I made it clear to the seller that it was a time sensitive job and what would have happened if I hadnt noticed the? What if I blindly trusted the sellers because of the good reviews? If this happened to me I can only imagine how many other people have fallen victim to this.

I want to call them out for their unproffesional and illegal behaviour. This isnt fair to anybody. Can I name them on this forum and provide evidence?

Why is it that I cant leave feedback on a order that I cancelled?
