By now, Fiverr should be aware that this is a problem. Yet, nothing is done. I seen enough complaints on the forum about people buying the gig without reading the gig description. 99.9% of my cancellations is due to people buying my gig and asking for something not in the gig and/or they try to get away with paying $5 for $50 of work.
It happens a lot -- I don't want to hear about putting it in your gig description...I don't care if you bold it , put it in large print and high light it, PEOPLE DON'T READ.
Just like there is a mutual cancellation button there should be a mutual agreement/buy button. That would eliminate any excuses for someone buying a gig without knowing the terms or conditions of the gig.
For example someone sees my gig and wants to buy it. They can't buy it until they contact me (if they click the buy button, a message pops up telling them to contact the seller).
They contact me, we discuss their needs and price and when done discussing, the buyer sets the price they agreed upon, clicks the Mutual Agreement button and the buyer in turns has to click the Mutual Agreement button to begin the gig.
I'm sure tired of people ordering my gig without reading the gig description and expecting me to do work that has nothing to do with the gig or they want me to do work way above and beyond $5.
Fiverr seems to make the effort to protect buyers, in my humble opinion, I wish they would do the same to protect sellers.
