I think you are right Like they used to have in Ebay ( have not used the site for a long time now, so Don’t know if it is still like that). E.g. The current bid on item is .35 Seller A bid for $2, it will show the highest bid as .36 not 2 if seller C bid for .39, still the seller A will win but will be charged .40 this time as the other highest bid is .39 I don’t have this feature as of now…
as soon as buyer say they want to contact out side of Fiverr it is a Red flag. I politely tell them, I have to follow the rules of the site I am working on and that is not going to happen. It’s up to them if they order or not. Buyers also have the option of a business account on Fiverr in which one host can make the payment and the followers can make the payments and follow up on it…
Sorry for the bad experience, I am not sure why you cancelled it but I never let a customer unsatisfied. There is always a way unless the buyer, made there mind of getting it for free.
it should not be the case, if you cancel a GIG if $5, you get $5 refund. Since you already paid the service charge on $5, you should be able to buy again for the same $5, if you are buying the gig for $10 then you will be charged on $5 again
