Hello , i have made some work for client with houlry automatic tracked time
contract and the offer showing that he wants Illustration for a plane and sent me it to do it
and after i made it he saw it he didin't send me any message and after 5 hours he said " no way man "
so i asked him what ? and told him you asked for illustrator for a ship with a black sky ?
did i make another thing ?
he didn't say another word / or ask for edit / or asked for some changes /
he just sent me another work to do and i have made it to him
and after a week he asked for refund " today " with reason " Work not used "
so i told him " everything you asked for i did it "
i mean what's my problem if you didn't use the work i made
i should get paid for making the work you want
if you didn't use it i think this up to you not me i guess
so i told him " i asked you since a week is there problem with the work "
you didn't say any thing and just asked me for another work to do and i have did it too
so he just said " This is what it is. .... $5.00 "
i don't want to refund i have worked for this and he just didn't use the work i made
i really need help

Are you saying that the client hired you to do a job, and then you did the job, and the client is asking you for a refund, claiming he didn't use the work?
That's funny.
But very silly.
Clients ARE NOT REQUIRED to use the work that they hure freelancers to create. But they still need to pay for the work.
Of course the client should not have asked for a refund.
This client is behaving in an unprofessional, immoral, unethical manner.
If you don't want to give this client a refund, you don't have to.
Don't argue with this client.
Don't defend yourself.
Don't say much at all.
If he has questions, tell him that he can ask his questions here:

yes this exactly what happened
i don't want to give him that refund

i'm afriad the after some days i see that the refund is done automatically
so what i should do now ? what will happen ?

This is an hourly contract, right? You logged your time using the Desktop time-tracker application. The client's credit card will be charged for the time you logged and Upwork will send you the money.
The client pushed a button that ASKED you for a refund.
You can respond by telling the client that he can ask questions about getting a refund by going here:
community.Upwork.com
Be polite. Don't add fuel to the fire. Don't say much of anything.
If sounds like this client's request has no real power behind it. It's just a request. Like if your five-year-old niece asked you for a unicorn for her birthday.

alright so now what will happen ?
how i make sure it wont go as refund automatic to him after somedays ?

What exactly did you receive? Just a message?
Is this contract still open? Or closed?
How much money in total are you receiving from this contract?

yes only message as " UPWORK APP "
**Edited for community guidelines**requested a refund.
Jun 7, 2021 05:56:58 PM by Preston H
There is no button for you to click to prevent a refund.
If you don't choose to send a refund, a refund won't automatically be taken from you.

alright so now i should do nothing and the moeny after 5 days will be in my balance right ?
also second question how i make sure that the client won't give me bad review after decline the refund ? what should i do if this happened ?
Jun 7, 2021 06:06:08 PM by Preston H
Yeah... that's the problem.
This client is such a goofball... we're wondering what will happen with feedback.
I am going to bow out now. You'll have to wait for suggestions from other people.
Jun 7, 2021 06:09:02 PM by Yossef M
if i closed the contract this will help ?
or if one of the help center talked to him would this help too ?

Hi Yossef,
I checked your account and it looks like you have multiple contracts with the same client. You might want to discuss the refund request with the client as this is for a different contract you have with them. You can politely offer to make changes to the submitted work if they are willing to consider that. If you prefer to refund your client, you can do so by following the steps below:
Feel free to check out this help article for more information.

i offered the help more than once and he said the reson of the refund " work not used "
so i think this is not my problem if he didn't use the work
that's way i don't want to refund

so now i have to accept the refund and all the time , work i went through will go for nothing
just beacuse i'm afraid of his feedback ? how is that
Jun 8, 2021 01:58:29 PM by Yossef M
second question : if i accepted the refund is this going to affect my account or jss or anything ?
also after i make the refund he maybe be able to give me bad feedback too how i prevent this ?
