mariokluser Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I approach it from the technical side. So you created a theme, installed in on her self hosted WordPress Side and she messed up.I assume that you have the theme files still on your computer. Would it be a hassle to delete the team in her Wordpress environment and the reinstall it for her, followed by a message that you won’t work for her in the future?If this isn’t a solution and the only fear is that your account get’s deleted (what is very unlikely) then CS can see in your conversation that she messed up and not you. So I don’t really see a problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimana_art Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 @mariokluser: She clearly mentioned in the message that she messed up as she tried some changes in theme.Also she told me that if I don’t say yes to work for her then she will complain to Fiverr Support to refund the whole amount.Out of 3 orders CS just cancelled 1 order.Just hoping that atleast remaining two orders will not be cancelled.Is there any limit that after this many days the order cannot be cancelled because this order as almost 20 days & 30+ days old.Thank you 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Take screenshots of the whole conversation and what she said and send it to customer support. It sounds like she is trying to threaten or blackmail you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaki Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can’t you get to CS before buyer? She broke it…and now she’s threatening you… I wouldn’t be cancelling anything (but I don’t really understand this kind of stuff, sooo…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimana_art Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 @misscrystal: Thank you so much 🙂I did send them the screenshot after reading your comment & Fiverr Customer Support told me that they have noted that the buyer clearly mentioned that the work was finished and it was the buyer himself who messed up everything.So I hope this will help me & also Customer Support will keep this proof in mind while dealing with the buyer.Thank you once again 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimana_art Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 @emmaki: I did created a ticket immediately after getting the message from Buyer.But I guess unfortunately my buyer had also created a ticket & Customer Support read buyers ticket 1st and cancelled the order.And then came to my tickets s.Thankyou 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokluser Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The problem that can occur is that she tries to file a dispute via Paypal. This can take a while, I believe 6 weeks. Then it is most likely that CS will refund her. It is also likely in this case that her account will be banned after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimana_art Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 @mariokluser: Yes her account is banned as she is no longer an active member of Fiverr Community.As I am not able to communicate with the buyer due to privacy reasons.

congruentgraph Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Thank you for sharing your experience!I think that you did everything right and you should no worry.What I always do is backup everything twice on separate hard drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokluser Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is a good sign actually. You can also have a look over at Paypal how the whole process regarding dispute’s etc works. Chances are that even Paypal rejects her claim as CS has proof that she messed up herself. So I wouldn’t worry that much in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariokluser Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 This sucks big time! This decreases my trust in this platform actually. Luckily I do bigger orders with people who don’t even know that I’m on Fiverr as my main source of income.But again, this sucks and I feel that sellers should better be protected.

dungdung Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Fiverr doesnt have partial refund fucntion so once buyer cancel the order, all the fund regarding that order will be gone. I think Fiverr team should think about this. Today i also have to cancel one order because buyer want to stop the job and pay me a half. I’m ok with this but i have to cancel the order first. Unfortunately, nothing to ensure that buyer will place a new order with half amount to pay for me. It all depend on how lucky i am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye1 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 If you know their URL, you can do a ‘who is’ search [ http://www.whois.com/whois/ ] and find out exactly who they are and then file a small claim court claim against them. Or send round a debt collector. They have committed fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here make fool, and Fiverr has no way to help clients. At least three developer have cheated me. So I’ll now hire people from outside market.

joyanto52 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Please try to mutually solve this problem with your buyer. If he don’t agree with you and cancel this order by contact support, then you contact support too. If you do your job trustly and your buyer cheat you, then capture your buyer conversation screenshot and your work screenshot, then give this screenshot in fiverr support and tell everything all about this. I guess then fiverr support help you to solved this problem.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
