Terms of service violation

[yousouph100]

Offering a gig to help with citations (both in-text and reference list), rewriting, paraphrasing, and essays — I would like to know if any or all of these violate fiverr’s terms of service.

Check with Fiverr CS to be on the safe side please.🙂

It will not be a ToS violation until it is not a plagiarism. Please visit here for intellectual property terms. Maybe you can find some useful information there.
Always contact customer support for further clarifications. 🙂

My account got disabled, and according to fiverr, it was due to one of my gigs offering to help with paraphrasing — it was classed as a homework - related service. The confusion now is this: if a gig on paraphrasing could be said to be violating fiverr’s TOS, what about similar gigs like rewriting gigs? And what about gigs offering to help with essays, citations and formatting?

formatting

I don’t think there is anything wrong with offering formatting services. When formatting a document, there is absolutely no need to change its contents. Besides, there are many TRS and Level 2 sellers who offer formatting of documents. So, I don’t think such services are violating the ToS.

As @hanshuber16 said, formatting should be fine. However, help with essays, citations, or rewriting could not only be seen as doing someone’s academic work instead of them (unethical and a ToS violation), but also as helping them commit academic fraud (definitely not allowed).
