Recommended Posts

I have been working on fiverr for 7 years. Delivered more than 44,000 orders throughout this order.
I had received warning message since i marked order delivered, which i had done to stop the countdown as buyer requested to deliver service later. Tried to login and it says account Disabled. Can anyone help? I am extremely stressed since Fiverr has been my only source of income and with my earning i had been able to take care of my ailing younger brother ever since who is suffering from Leukemia. My username was Turnkeyz . Please help.

None of us can help you, I’m afraid.

So you delivered nothing to the buyer? Empty deliveries are against the ToS. Fiverr see’s it as gaming the system, don’t use the deliver button unless the project has been completed. If you needed more time, you could’ve used the resolution center to extend the delivery timeframe.

This. You should have known better since you have been on Fiverr for so long. That being said, try asking CS very politely and promising that you will not do such a thing again in the future, although I would say the chances of them reversing a ban are very slim.

If nothing works out then don’t waste your time and rejoin Fiverr after asking their permission. If you had gotten these many positive reviews and results, you can jolly well do it again. It won’t be easy being a new seller but its better than nothing. In time you should be able to come back.

Yes, i realized it later.

I worked day and night to ensure buyer requirements are met in the time frame given. I am very depressed currently, i am lost. Sent a lot of messages to support.

I’m sorry to hear about your younger brother and the stress this situation has caused.

However,

Delivered more than 44,000 orders

You are considered to be a seasoned Fiverr Vet. Were you a TRS? You should know the Do’s & Don’ts! Perhaps, write a sincere apology note, maybe share a pic of your brother and own up to your mistake. Knowing the responsibility that you have on your plate, I’m surprised by your actions – now sadly you’re paying the price. I’m sure Fiverr appreciate it when people say “It was my fault, I should’ve known better and it will never happen again.” Along those lines, be genuine and ask for redemption.

No i wasn’t a TRS. Just a second level seller. I realized later i should not have done it. I had around $2k to cash out in my account. I have sent messages to CS apologizing for what i did, however they have stopped responding.

Is the case still opened or closed?

I feel so bad for you! Ordinarily, if you were new, and had not had such success I wouldn’t have paid much attention to this. But you made a mistake.

Do not send more messages to customer support since they don’t like that and will not respond as you have seen. I know how upset you must be!

Wait a while, then send ONE carefully thought out, nice sincere short letter to them saying you made a terrible mistake and it won’t happen again.

They don’t tolerate empty deliveries at all on fiverr. I really hope they reinstate your account!

What i can suggest is open a new account and start your service again.

As far as i know Fiver will not enable the disabled accounts but they will release your money in 90 days.

@turnkeyz before you create another account your best bet would be to ask CS for their permission. If reactivating your old account is not possible.

really not in a frame of mind to do anything else but to be in hope of getting my account back. :frowning_face:

I have worked too hard in these seven years. I had more than 23k reviews.

Can understand your situation but i have personally discussed with some fiver users faced this situation and they have never got there account back and fiver informed that they will release the pending $'s after 90 days.

You hope to getting your account back and how many days you going to wait for this. Best idea is open a new account and promote your gigs and do sales. it will take time to come to the same level but you can do it.

Really upsetting reading your experience here. 7 Years, thousands of reviews. Ouch- sorry.

Does Fiverr not have any PR rep, or some kind of admin that comes around here to facilitate seller-management discussion? I understand this guy broke the TOS, but if it was a blank delivery that the buyer was totally aware of, I don’t understand the logic in coming down so hard on this guy.

This kind of involvement and moderation makes me feel like I could get demoted at any point, and I don’t even break any of the TOS. I’m sure a lot of sellers feel the same way. It’d be nice to have someone on the other side able to vouch for sellers in situations like this.

While it does seem like Fiverr are cracking down on those who break the rules, it seems like it still takes someone to complain about something for them to do something about it. It is unlikely that the buyer was ok with the blank delivery in this case.

What I would also say is that Fiverr DO take the decision to ban people people seriously. It is not done on a whim. For this reason, I would urge you and everyone to ensure you know the rules and follow them. Staying involved on the forum is a good way to hear about any new rules or changes that come up too.

This post I wrote a while back might also be useful to anyone worried by the OP.

I am writing this simply because I have seen quite a few accounts of established users being warned, suspended or permanently banned in the past couple of months. I am reliably informed that this does not happen on a whim or without Fiverr doing due investigation into seller’s accounts. Whether Fiverr are becoming more vigilant in terms of how sellers behave or if it has always been like this but people are more aware of the forum now, I do not know. What I do know is that in many of the cases …

I appreciate the reply and information, I’m definitely put at ease knowing it takes a complaint to prompt an investigation or ban. I must have misread OP’s post, because I was under the impression his buyer was fine with things, but if he complained, that’s a different story. I know breaking the TOS is not a good move in any situation, but I was really saddened to see what seemed like a case of moderation for the sake of it.

As long as I’m safe keeping my clients satisfied with my work and order process, I’m happy.

Buyer was completely aware about it. With buyer’s consent i marked it delivered. I had asked him if it would be fine since he wanted me to start the work after a couple of days.

I don’t want to get into an argument about it happened but I just can’t see how a buyer would agree to it and then report you to support for doing it.

Anyway, if you had the buyer agree to it, why didn’t you have them agree to an extension instead? That would have solved it in an allowed way.

i did not have to go with extension before, yes i should have done that but i wasn’t aware that even with buyer’s consent we cannot do it.

Hi Turnkeyz,

I had recently used your service and it was working and I couldn’t find you to message you luckily I found you here. If they made a mistake just open another account and use something similar so that people can find you. I guarantee you people are looking for you to use your service. I was looking for you and found you through this message board. Keep up the good work and don’t give up. Notify everyone of your new account.

Your backlinks gig alone had 15,000 reviews and you’ve been here since October 2011. How could you make an empty delivery and not know this would happen?

I do hope you get reinstated though.

i didn’t know that this violation applies even when buyer himself wants it to, since we always try buyers to have best experience with our service as Fiverr says, i always followed that. I had money to cash out for my monthly expenses and medical bills, it cannot be worse than this.

How did they find out you did this? They wouldn’t have known unless someone told them.
