Question about message : <seller> is not accepting messages at this time.

Hi All, 

I am very new to Fiverr and I contacted a seller who agreed to build an app for me with a cost that we also agreed to but when it comes due date, I dont receive anything, so I sent a message through the  inbox to ask how did he go and here is what I get : <name of the seller>  is not accepting messages at this time.

What does this mean ? He is busy to talk to me ? or he is not going to do it and ignore me totally ?

Kind regards,

Peter Nguyen

It means that he probably blocked you or he was banned from the site. [https://support.fiverr.com/] you can ask support about it

May be It was spam message 🙂

There is a chance the seller has stopped messaging because they are on holiday. The seller has the option of blocking all messages or blocking messages from new clients only, meaning you should have been able to contact them. It may be the case that they have simply selected the wrong option by mistake. Not great for you, but not necessarily a red flag either. If they are on holiday, it will be apparent on their profile, together with the date they intend to return on.
