    This isn't a warning that shows up when you write something. It sits there at the very top of every message thread in your inbox as soon as you receive the first message from a new prospect. If you click on any message in your inbox on the main platform (if you still have access to your account, that is), and scroll up to the very top, you should be able to see it.

    A lot of people seem to overlook it.

    Oh, so this is overlooked by me as well because I never noticed it sitting there. See, this is how you learn and fix your mistakes and make a will that they are never repeated. I believe and wish Fiverr will consider this likewise too and give me a chance to fix my mistake this time so it's not repeated in future.

    Several months ago, my Fiverr account was hacked, all my Earnings were withdrawn, and the hacker shut down my Fiverr account. I also had my identity stolen and lost thousands of dollars due to online transactions performed in my name.

    I really feel sorry for your loss.

    What I shared was my experience as well. Sorry if what I said sounded harsh, but I saw a bit of me in what you were saying. And I am pretty harsh on myself when I make mistakes. I know how strict rules can be and how hard it can be when those consequences come crashing down on you.

    Everything is hitting me hard these days, I'm sorry if I sound awkward.

    I also want to provide help and support, but I also didn't want to create a false sense of optimism or get your hopes up. There are many sellers who were in the same situation as you and were never able to get their accounts back. You may get a second chance, and that would be awesome! But if not, this is definitely a learning experience that you can apply to whatever you decide to pursue.

    That's absolutely right. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enlightening me, giving me hope that everything's gonna be all right. You are surely an amazing soul!

    At first you mentioned that you didn't know about Fiverr's rule, but now you know a lot of people who did the same mistake?

    It looks like you were aware of this rule and chose not to follow it, chancing that you wouldn't get caught, or that you'd only get a warning. Not everyone gets caught. So that's a risk you took, and the consequences are that you could lose your account permanently, as well as the right to work on this platform forever.

    Have you never made any mistakes in life? If you did, and went out to ask people where you went wrong, and once you know where you where it went wrong, how would it feel if I come and tell you that you knew it already & still you did that mistake intentionally knowing the consequences, how does this sound to you? This is the exact feeling I got from your reply. 

    Set rule of guidelines are for everyone, and are mentioned visibly by the platform but forums is a place where you discuss things with the fellow community to learn, discover & educate about the other possibilities that something has, could be anything, not just the rules, & eventually grow together in a better way, but unfortunately, the replies coming from you are just a mirror of set of TOS being posted here in forums. 

    What I've mentioned in my post is my experience, & I want to learn & and discover new possibilities around my community, please let's just keep it that way.

    Additionally, on top of every inbox message thread, there's this, and yet so many people don't notice it or don't pay attention to it:

    @catwriter Unfortunately, that wasn't there in my case. I've noticed that warning when I accidentally write "@" logo and I clear that away right away.

    Most accounts put under review for communicating off of Fiverr's platform get shut down for good after 90 days. These sellers are banned from ever creating another account on Fiverr.

    @vickieito Well, I have a lot of people who work on Fiverr and they did the same mistake I did in the past as well, but when Person X gets a warning for outside communication, Person Y is someone who got warned for the 2nd time for using outside communication, how come the rule exhibits on me in a different manner? I wasn't the one who was reported/flagged in this instance, it was me who reported the buyer for first initiating the outside communication and then when we did communicate outside, all the screenshots are already with the team to review.

    Hi everyone, I really miss Fiverr as my account got temporarily disabled 10 days back for a report that I did regarding a client who was insulting me. That was my first bad experience and surprisingly, the first time he ordered my services, he was really amazed and we completed the first order in the right manner, but soon he came for another order as he was satisfied with me and my work. This time, things didn't turn out well as I was working on a QB-Core-based FiveM server and he told me he has all the stuff that needs to be in there. The first order I did for him was to create a QB-Core-based FiveM server from scratch. This time, we were supposed to work on scripts, MLO's & vehicles for his newly made server, for which, I told him we'll work in milestones as we need to put a lot of things in there. Long story short, he kept giving me things that weren't even discussed in the first place. This is where I told him that it's not how things work, we'd need to tweak the order and add the extra services I'm offering. This was the moment he started calling me "greedy". I was still nice to him and told him if he's unable to pay for the extra services, I'll try to cover them in the current order and finish it off. He agreed upon this and I finished working for him. Only the vehicles were left and that was for a reason. I was contacting him but there was no reply from his side and I had to finish the order as the promised order time was about to finish and everything else was on time. I sent him the delivery. He came back the other day and told me that I've not finished his work and I was somehow sabotaging the server, which I wasn't obviously, and started putting false allegations about me. This was the moment I decided things are not going well here so I really need to report this to Fiverr. The worst part from my end was the discussions were done on Discord, while all the order updates/payments were on the Fiverr platform. I never had an idea about outside communication thing at that point and for this reason, my account was temporarily disabled and was told its in review by the trust and safety centre and would take around 60 days. All the screenshots were also attached to the report ticket I made.

     

    I am one of you who was working hard day and night on Fiverr with utmost honesty. This was the first time it happened and it eventually ended me up in a shock. I didn't get any warnings or what so ever in my entire journey on Fiverr, in fact, I was always mindful of all the actions I take on the platform so nothing goes off the policies mentioned. Mistakes do happen in life and we as a human, tend to do mistakes. I contacted support regarding this that I haven't been involved ever in anything that might break Fiverr's TOS, but this time I unknowingly ended myself in this, but they said all I need to do is to wait for the time given for the trust and safety centre to complete their review.

    I really hope and pray that I get my profile back up and running again so I can resume giving my services again, if you came this far, thanks for reading and remember me in your prayers, have a good day everyone! 🙂
