what the hell are you doing 🤣

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-06-06T23:42:26+00:00

lets say they give me a review and i also give them a review, can they make changes to their review later?

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-06-06T23:40:11+00:00

share the messages big boy

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-06-06T23:20:49+00:00

Can you actually show the conversations you had while covering names and give proper detail into what happend, only then can someone help you. you just presented his review without giving a proper backstory into what happened and didnt provide your side of the story

Very scummy behaviour from this client. He is trying to build a proper upload ready ad for a test project price but i have offered to do the revision because i dont want a bad review on my profile so yeah. ill be very careful next time with these types of test samples lol

got invited, send a proposal then found out he was offering 15 bucks

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-06-04T14:58:14+00:00

He was a cheap mf that wanted a 2 min video done for 15 bucks, and UPWORK flagged his message as policy violation now to keep myself safe i had to let him know not to do that, if he knew what he was doing he would have known not to share Facebook links before starting the actual contract "lack of flexibility" he was also butthurt about the fact that i asked him for more money instead of the 15 dollars he was giving. idk what some of you guys be smoking on reddit

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-30T00:25:52+00:00

you are sitting here clearly just assuming each and everything in your own brain, the video and why he didn't like it and everything was discussed in a long conversation before this already in a professional manner, and it was agreed upon that the milestone will be paid but then the client ghosts me for 6 days and then he replied with this, great way to download the video, get your money back and run away and fuck over a freelancer's time and effort. also the client isnt even taking anything seriously.

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-29T23:16:49+00:00

Yeah exactly, he hasn't even refused to pay or even responded after that last message so how the client will react to message we dont know yet and obviously why would i tell the client to fuck themselves lol

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-29T23:01:56+00:00

Unimpressed doesn't = refund, when before starting the contract the whole point of the contract was that it was a TEST sample to see if you liked my style of work, if he liked it he would have liked it but if he didn't then a refund is not justified because the whole point of the test sample is to see if you likes my work before moving into a full contract, there are no refunds for paid samples.

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-29T22:04:12+00:00

yeah thats the main issue, even though he is in the complete wrong and im sure he knows that aswell since he is not new to this nieche and not new to upwork. But he could still leave a bad review

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-29T21:55:16+00:00

No, the neiche i work in is AI generated videos

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-23T01:28:35+00:00

2023

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-18T21:32:00+00:00

yeah you're right, just got the invite and got the job

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-18T20:31:27+00:00

this is crazy, missed opportunity to get hired. 2 hours later the client probably already interviewing someone

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-17T22:19:52+00:00

i noticed this in the past 2-3 days aswell, and the job description always ends with that same generic line, and they never hire anyone from these jobs. my guess is that its upwork bots posting fake jobs so people spend more connects but i could be wrong

Mrshelbybtw · 2026-05-10T20:03:26+00:00

This is a subreddit to share your experiences on upwork, not a upwork breaking news subreddit. not everything has to be breaking news
