Though it is badly affect our rankings, we prefer to cancel fiverr order from the buyers on some cases . (Note that no matter if it is mutual or not, cancelling an order will reduce your order complete rate according to the new rules) However we can ask the buyer to cancel the order. (We don't need to go to CS for this.) Anyway before cancel a order, think twice about it. Otherwise you may end up with low ranking gig. Cancel a order will reduce your order complete rate and you can check below link to learn how to maximize your order complete rate.
"Check How to Maximize Your Order Complete Rate"
Whenever you cancel the order buyer will receive the amount you charged, but not the amount spent by them. Because they are paying some other charges to the fiverr (like order processing charge) Cancelling the order will not return those charges to them. Anyway fiverr will not charge them when they are used that money to reorder.
