How come your funds are stuck on Fiverr? Why? And how are you going to get them out?

8 years ago, I was working for a client on Odesk (upwork now), I couldn't complete the 800$ project in time, the client said he is losing money because of this, so although I did 70% of the work and spent around 500$ from my pocket, I refunded the 500$ he already paid, gave him all the 70% of the work for FREE.

Later, the client came back to me with another similar project, I said: I am afraid I can't complete in time (actually I didn't wanna do the project).

Client: Take time, no problem.

Me: I am afraid I will have to double the rate because I'll have to assign more workers to ensure quality and to finish the work in a legitimate timeframe. (Actually I didn't wanna do it and thought he will run away if I ask double).

Client: Okay. Take the project.

Me: Okay can't decline now. I took the project.

For the next 1 year, every month he gave me new projects, in total he gave me 30,000$ worth projects in 1 year.

Nice brother, karma got back to you in a good way this time. Maybe it was a test to see how one would react when in need of money. I believe only a very few people would've returned that money. Great story
