navinisrani Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I am a new seller with less earnings. I am content blog writer from IndiaFew months ago, a guy contacted me on LinkedIn for a long-term association. He told me he found me via Fiverr but he chose to contact me on LinkedIn. Must have been easy for him since I use the same name everywhere.I worked for him for a few months until he became overtly demanding and ridiculously started lying about his work limits. He manipulated me into hiring a team by saying loads of work and then said I don’t have proper keywords so changes will come later, because he had done no keyword research.I wasn’t ready to take articles finished 2 weeks ago for revision. If you don’t have work finalized, why would you ask the writer to hire his own team?So I stopped working with him. WHY AM I POSTING THIS HERE?Because now he contracts me through Fiverr under a different name. How do I know it’s him? Because the description he gives is exactly the same signature he had when we worked off Fiverr!First few orders I was alarmed so I started observing him. I saw his communication style and his pattern, niche, category of work is ALL same as the old client. And he’s been deliberately giving me low ratings. I still worked hoping Fiverr would protect me.Just yesterday, I came back from a day- long interview process and found his order. I didn’t have tea, I didn’t wait - I just started my laptop and quickly delivered my order because I was under the impression he was giving me low ratings due to late delivery.But he gave me only 4 stars, and when placed a second order he sent me “take it more seriously this time” … Do I look like a nut to you?

misscrystal Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If you don’t want to work with him you don’t have to. Tell him that you are not a good match for his purpose. Tell him there are many other sellers he can select who will do what he wants since it is obvious you are not doing a good enough job to suit him. Cancel his orders.

chrismateo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 knowing that the buyer could harm you means don’t proceed with him/her that’s it … it’s you who decides which job to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inzamamabbasi Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If any one want to damage your profile intentionally you can stop that by doing report icon under chat. After report he will no longer be able to contact you.If any one place order without discussing any thing regarding project you can use resolution center to increase time. make sure your min gig price is good as you want. (for example if you will not charge 5$ for any work then you should change the price to min which you can charge for work and then add extras this will help you to decrease canceling the project)I would recommend you only use fiverr to communicate and payments and always deliver project with proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenasemenkova Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You can cancel his orders through customer support.Let the client know (politely) that you are not interested and contact customer support. Let them know you believe it’s the same person presenting as someone else and being dishonest and you don’t want to work with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last 3 orders are still under “pending clearance”. If I refuse without a proper reason, I will not only lose $24 but my rating could also go down and I’m already a new seller 😦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any new ones, though, you should get yourself some freedom. You are allowed to refuse to work with someone for any reason, even if they just creep you out (and pretending to be someone else is a pretty creepy behavior).

navinisrani Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 What I mean is what does “funds pending clearance” mean? Under what conditions can Fiverr remove those funds?Of course I won’t cancel old, completed orders. I am withdrawing payment for them. But again there are problems saying “my paypal account has changed”. I don’t know what that means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what that means"funds pending clearance” means that in 2 weeks (since you’re a new seller) you’ll get these funds transferred to the revenue card you’ve attached to your account.

pr_junction Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just curious that despite you know it clearly that this buyer is same as older buyer just with difference user id, and keeps giving you low ratings despite good work(I assume so), why would you be delivering another order from this buyer, and not just cancel it? Is it earning you’re worried about? If so, don’t bother much about earning… but ratings!Like other fellow senior sellers have already advise you to contact Fiverr customer care explaining your issue, they might be of help to you, as always they do.Don’t panic, take action!Good luck!

I hope it’ll not affect my stats negatively. I only took it initially hoping to improve my Fiverr numbers, and I would have continued delivering his orders under the covert knowledge for the same reason.However, if you give me 4 star and call it “personal opinion” and don’t give proper feedback for the reduced rating (despite accelerated delivery), then I can’t trust this guy. He could repeat and get my ratings down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Care About Your Reputation Accept WHat You Can Deliver …@designer2k18 You do know that people can’t control what orders they take, right?Unfortunately, I don’t think that there is necessarily a long-term solution that doesn’t at least result in cancellation. Unless, of course, Fiverr support comes through and bans his account. But even then, he could potentially make new accounts and come back if they don’t ban his IP address… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
