[Banning Fiverr Sellers]

They do check and they ban only if people really broke the rules.

You might see a lot of stories with “I haven’t done anything, why I got banned?” But at the end we do find out that they indeed broke rules.

The only case in all this years that we saw where seller was mistakenly banned but got his account back is @iamsachmusic

Just don’t break rules and you wouldn’t loose your account and there would be nothing to be scared of.

And of course it’s never a good idea to put all you eggs in one basket aka fiverr

Well, I'm sorry but I just got my account back from an unjustified ban. They claimed that the images I used to present my digital portraits gig contained "unoriginal" or "stolen" images. I thought that I made the mistake to include a fanart, but then I confirmed I didn't even do that, all three images were original characters I recently painted. They randomly banned my account without any warning, over my own original paintings, Can you see any "copyright" infringement with them? Apparently I stole my own paintings. The ban on my account was 100% Fiver's mistake, no rules broken on my part. Which I think is unfair, because I had an active order with someone else, and in the process Fiver customer Service cancelled the order without warning and that seller is now stuck with an unfair "cancelled" order in their stats. I had to prove to them that I didn't cancel the order, which was also uncomfortable, because I was unable to access my account, but wanted to explain that I didn't randomly cancel the order after they did the job like they initially thought.

Just because you haven't seen that or haven't happened to you, doesn't mean it does not happen or people are being dishonest. I'm scared to use the platform and loose money or indirectly harm other people's performance over "mishaps" like this one.
