It is not about one person being banned It is about racism in the context of nationality, It is about wrong process that can affect many other people.(If other people are important for us)

@misscrystal There are Iranians in Israel too, Sanctions are for government not for ordinary people. What Fiverr does in this case is called “RACISM”, If you are OK with that then yes you don’t care, BTW It is illegal in many countries, like UK and many other countries that Fiverr is working in them I think I should open case… Don’t say I don’t know why companies do what they do, Do not let big companies make decision for you and do what they want!

@misscrystal Toptal is in Silicon Valley, They asked me my documentations, Asked me that am I going to Iran ? and then they let me continue my application process. PS : If you read other companies ToS you will see they putted things like this in it. For example freelancer or Toptal or Peopleperhour ToS.

I think you nailed it. They may not care where he really lives. --from The Times of Israel Netanyahu lauds US decision to end waivers on Iran oil sanctions@misscrystal Then why it’s not in there ToS + US sanctions does not affect Iranian in other countries, You can search. I’ve worked with many other companies in the US and outside US.

Possibly this is due to trade sanctions on Iran by the U.S. and Israel where Fiverr operates. That said, if you wanted to seek legal advice, you may have a case if indeed, Fiverr does not explicitly state that it does not serve certain nationalities. Sadly, in either case, it looks like you are out for good. Possibly, you might want to look into the Estonian e-residency scheme targeted at freelancers which I mentioned earlier. There is a link which explains it more fully here: European Freelancers Week – 8 Oct 18 Interview: Why freelancers in Europe should apply for e-Residency | European...Today we’ve chatted with Alex Wellman, Head of Marketing at e-Residency to understand the benefits for freelancers to apply for […] I don’t know much about it. However, I do know that the scheme also serves non-EU countries. Also, I don’t mean that you should use this advice as a means of circumventing Fiverrs ban. It may just come in Handy with your future endeavors. Alternatively, if you have the right to abode in the UK or Turkey permanently (or at least long-term), you should be able to apply for a UK or Turkish driving license. All in all, this is an awful and very unfair situation to be in. I’m very sorry for what has happened. However, make sure to not let it get you down. Instead, try and look into other opportunities on other sites. Maybe also look at where those sites are based and what their ID verification requirements are before starting work. (This may mean messaging CS departments in advance of creating an account.) Sorry, this didn’t work out. 😦 @cyaxrex Thank you for your advice, I will read that. About US sanctions , It’s pressure is on ordinary people in Iran and I think it’s not fair too, but what Fiverr here did , It’s 10 times worse than US sanctions. US sanctions say you shouldn’t work with everyone who brings the money to Iran or located in Iran. What Fiverr say is you can’t work with any Iranian. If every company thought like them then all Iranians that relocate to other countries should die because no one work with them. It is not the way US sanctions work. I also worked with other freelancer websites, some of them want documents that I’m in Turkey. Even PayPal that is very strict works with me…

@cyaxrex Thank you for your helps and understanding. @frank_d Now the Support said clearly it is because you are Iranian. It’s not fair , they say because you born in Iran we never work with you. Look at screenshot number 10. It is absolutely racism. Continue of my chat with support…

@maitasun Now they say because your nationality is Iranian we can’t continue with you @misscrystal @vickiespencer On my Profile it was Turkey and in my Passport it is Iran.

Customer Support doesn’t read the forum. So what else you think I can do ? 🙃 I can’t see they suspended my account without any reason or fault…

@cyaxrex Thank you. I hope the support understand my situation… I think if they read this topic they will do something serious…

Sometimes, it can take a couple rounds of back and forth with CS to make them understand your situation. Don’t give up. Although it might be a little hard to do (given your current situation), try not to let your emotions get the better of you. Always be polite and firm when interacting with CS. 🙂 Thanks, I understand what you mean but I worked these 20 days so hard… I didn’t sleep 2 nights to give my works on time and get reviews… It’s hard but I try. Thank you for your suggestion ❤️

@hanshuber16 Thank you for your understanding and your help. I try to contact them again but it seems they do not read what I write…

If you read more they said what is wrong, They say your ID is not for a country that you provided your phone number… It is because I’m resided.

@hanshuber16 And @jhakz1234 I explained the whole story, You can see in screenshots… I’ve just resided to Turkey… Is it really against ToS!!!

Hello I had created my account about 20 days ago and now I had about 10 reviews and $156 and 100% on time, All 5 star reviews and 100% on budget with 1 hour response time.I’m living in Turkey but my citizenship is Iranian so I give them my Turkish phone number as I’m living in Turkey , Now they banned me because my ID is Iranian and they say your Identity was fake. As I read the ToS Being an Iranian or residing is not against ToS.But now the support say sorry your account is permanently suspended(I already explained them what happened but they only say sorry). I already said them I can give you proof, I can show you bills, I can give you my Address but they just suspended me because my citizenship is Iranian… This is really not fair and I’m going to speak with my lawyer… Do you think I can do anything else ? (You can see Screenshots in posts below) In post 38 screenshot 10 you can see they said because you born in Iran you can’t use our service 😕
