I have had my account for approximately 1 year but did not use it right away. I started here about a week ago after being encouraged by a friend to do so.
I had one fabulous order and she could not have been happier with my work. I then had a further 2 messages asking if I could do something that my gig did not cover and I politely thanked them for considering me but that I was unable to cover their request. I was thanked for my quick response.
My most recent request came on Friday, when I was asked if I was willing to write an article, based on an essay. I'd only have 1-2 hours to write.
I was provided with a sample and understood what I had to do. I was told I would have to be online and wait for him to provide me with the actual article that he wanted me to provide an essay/article on.
I explained this would need to be paid for at the rate of 1 gig for up to 400 words and then extra gigs per 400 words. The guy ordered 3 gigs and I made sure I was at home and had to check every few minutes to see if he had sent me the article.
It was late when it arrived but I didn't mind. I wrote the Summary and sent it him to see if he was happy for me to proceed. That is when he actually stated that it was too good and that he would never memorize it. I then realized I was covering an exam of some sort. My gig is not for homework or academic papers.
The buyer started getting antsy and sending messages asking if it was nearly done, I'd only had half an hour. Because he had ordered 3 gigs, I said I would send it him in 400 word parts at a time, he said "great".
Then he changed his tone, messaged that he only had 15 minutes and I needed to hurry. He wasn't happy with how long my summary was and that he couldn't see 3 points of agreement or disagreement with the article. I showed him and changed them to bullet points.
He then told me to shorten my summary and lengthen my points, which I did. All of a sudden he told me he did not have time for me to modify.
He is in the US and I am in the UK. I waited a couple of hours and heard nothing but awoke to a request for mutual cancellation, even though he has 3 versions of the article he ordered.
I agreed to cancel one order as the gig was not long enough to require the 3rd gig but he wants me to cancel all of them or he'll leave negative feedback.
Because of this my cancellation rate is already at 25% and he will kill my rating with negative feedback because he is the buyer of 2/3 gigs.
I won't bend this much for future buyers, he made me jump through so many hoops and I should have seen it coming. Lesson learned but oh man am I annoyed at what this will do to my rating. He has basically stopped me from getting my potential level one.
After reading a few threads, sounds like I am not alone either.
Thanks for reading,
