Seller order process: Order closed

🎉 It's the last step in the order process. The order is now finished!

📌 What happens after the order is closed?

  • The money placed in the escrow account is transferred to your ComeUp wallet.
  • The messaging thread remains active and allows you to chat with the buyer if needed. If you wish, you can leave the conversation from the options to avoid being contacted again in this thread.
  • If the buyer has not left a review yet, they can do so for six months after the order is closed.
  • ComeUp sends a follow-up email to remind them to leave a review, but you can also encourage them to do so through the chat as long as it's open.

I received a negative review that I think I don't deserve. How can it be removed?

Reviews are important for your reputation, but it happens that a negative review seems unjust or does not reflect the reality of your work.

How to contact the buyer again once the chat is closed?

If one of you has left the conversation, it is permanently closed: you won’t be able to send any new messages in this thread.

As long as it remains active, you can message the buyer, for example, to:

  • propose a new offer,
  • check in on their project,
  • provide after-sales support.

The buyer is asking me to keep working even though the order is closed. What should I do?

Once the order is closed, it can no longer be modified. Normally, you no longer have to work anymore. Nonetheless, there are a few cases to consider.

📌 If the buyer still has requests and your order has been delivered correctly:

  • If it's for minor corrections and the chat is still open, see if you can provide a quick solution.
  • If the request calls for additional work, tell your buyer they have the option to place another order or a custom offer.
💡 Pro tip: Don't work for free after an order is closed. Unless it's a minor adjustment you want to offer as a commercial gesture.

Can I refund my buyer at this stage?

No, once the order is closed, it can no longer be refunded directly. Even if you received a negative review. Nonetheless, check that the work was completed correctly and matches what was agreed upon at the beginning of the order.

💡 Pro tip: To avoid this problem, ensure your buyer is always satisfied before closing the order.
