On my first go as a client on Upwork I decided to give a new freelancer a shot at a simple project. He completed the work and I paid him, all up it was about $10. He subsequently refunded by payment but his English must be very poor and he got quite mad. I eventually took the only option and paid him via a tip.

The problem is I only just noticed he left me a one star review, I can't leave a review nor respond to the one star review. What do I do? The only thing I know is to start a new account under another email, which seems to me to be the wrong way to do things but what other option(s) do I have?

Here's how the conversation went, it's a little long but it's kind of funny too.
