4 Years Old 'Incomplete' Orders


sempafi99

Question

3 different clients bought my gigs in 2013 and they completely disappeared. I’ve ‘nudged’ them for all these years but no response yet. I think the requirement for a buyer to submit some info before an order can start wasn’t well thought off. This is because some orders don’t require extra info apart from what the seller had earlier discussed with the buyer.

In a nutshell, I’ve got 6 ‘incomplete’ orders in my active orders list and the buyers were last online 3 years ago. The orders were ready within minutes of them ordering as they required little work. If I request a cancellation from them, it’s still useless as these guys are no longer active on the platform. Way forward please?

I had two of these just laying around there being lonely and all since 6 months ago, contacted customer support so they can cancel them.

Maybe in the future these incomplete orders thing will be better dealt with because as it is now - lots of work for cs instead of an automated process of some sort.

Thats not a problem, in my case if buyer not replying for 3/4 days. i just deliver the work as it is, sometimes blank file . and send a text to their inbox, i need those info. when you are back. please provide the info, i will complete the work and send to your inbox, dont worry . if order get complete

so after 3 days order automatically got complete. already got the money, so if some buyer back and knock me , i send them the file in inbox, if no one back, no worries, i still got the money! i got an order of $150 once , and he never show up. but i already have money as i delivered with a incomplete work, as i did not have info

Whether or not the buyer is responsive, there are tools in place to deal with this (see below). Delivering a blank file is a terrible idea that can very easily backfire, and if it does, you will have little support. You agreed to the terms of service, remember–now this is violating them!

Your post is very bad advice and should not be followed. While it may have worked for you thus far, the correct course of action is to try and communicate with the buyer and follow up with the resolution center if they are unresponsive (or worse). Customer Support will cancel the order if necessary due to unresponsiveness and other issues where, say, a buyer gets weird and hostile.
