Well, this is my first negative review on BHW.
I had been talking to the seller for about two weeks or so, and we'd been preparing a large order of content (300-400k words). We had narrowed it down to pick a handful of freelancers to deliver the work, and we selected him as one of them.
Payment terms hadn't been discussed, but the price & the content amount had. It was his rate of $9 per thousand for 15k words a week, so I split the content up and provided him with his list for the next week. A day after, he delivered one of the articles (27th), on Thursday (28th) he requested payment on the single article ($22.5), on which I informed him that I thought delivery and payment would be weekly and that I would have to wait until Monday/Tuesday morning to make payment as it would be through work.
3 more requests for the payment came on Friday throughout the day, despite me explaining the situation. Then he just became further combative, putting laughing emojis on my messages, threatening the dispute, "I will wait 6 more hours for the payment. After that, I will dispute. If someone doesn't have the funds, he/ she should not order something in the first place." - and I must stress payment terms had never been agreed and I was in constant communication with the seller, always telling him it would be early in the week that I could pay him, having not expected to be hounded for every article delivered.
I must state, I have no issue with the content provided, just with the seller and his lack of customer service and poor demeanour throughout. He became aggressive, threatening disputing, despite me communicating throughout when payment would be.
You can make your own mind up on this, but I've never in all my years here dealt with someone with such poor customer service on any sales thread.
Shame, you missed out on thousands because you were impatient for $22.5.
