Fiverr denied my gig after a month of 100% feedback, here's their reason...

Jealous competitor?

It seems that they didn't even take a look into the issue. 100% satisfaction should tell them that you're doing what you say you will.

I often report people who have copy and pasted my exact gigs. I'm not saying you copied one of mine, but maybe you're in a similar situation?

But I will say this...
Fiverr support really sucks. They don't give a damn about anyone. I've had many arguments with them.

Well, I report gigs on Fiverr that are distributing copyrighted products without the rights to distribute those products. Those gigs tend to be 5 Star gigs too, but they are theft.

What exactly was your gig?

I can't stand fiverr. It's not about their support. It's about not getting paid what a good writer should be paid.

I don't know why you were denied. But maybe it's a blessing. If you're a good writer, fiverr is not worth it, IMHO

Yeah I just had a gig that was denied.

I had already sold one copy and had no complaint after the sale.

I asked their client care which took a couple days to reply - turns out that to keep fiverr fresh they will sometimes deny gigs in certain categories.

Mine was 46 minutes, 16 page pdf on how to rank youtube videos.. All of my own content, pretty friggen stupid.. but I guess it works for them.

Just a heads up they work in mysterious ways that may be better not to be questioned since it's zero dollars to list and a dollar everytime somebody actually purchases your product.

Now, if your product or service was being banned as a WSO that'd be a different story!!

Are you selling an item ? maybe someone claimed they have copyright for it.

They probably avoiding being involved

thats rough. fiverr is brutal on sellers. they forget that without sellers, their site would be nothing.

Simply go and ask Fiverr what's wrong. Their support is okay so hope they would repond and explain.

I think you can ask them about the problem, or... You can try to create your new gigs for them then wait for the result, good response or contrary.

i think you are selling 3rd party products thats why they are denieng your gig
create another gig with modification and lets see what Happen

I think Fiverr will get hit soon and crack down on all the stolen software/books..etc... its same as ebay when people used to sell pirated software on it and nobody cared.. but ebay got a serious warning and they cracked down on all the software sellers..

They are a funny bunch there at Fiverr.

I have a few very successful gigs on there, but before I got to that point, I've gone through hell and back with them. Very much like what you describe. "Someone" posted a complaint - and Fiverr JUST LIKE THAT acted on it.

When I contacted their support, I got an answer which I was convinced has a machine, not a human. I explained everything politely, etc and asked them some questions along with a plea to get reinstated, and the answer was brief and essentially "If you observe our TOS you won't get into trouble."

This enraged me, because I MIGHT take this kind of nonsense from a human - but not from a machine.

So I wrote to them again and asked if I could please speak/write with a HUMAN and not a machine, because my question was entirely ignored and I got a blanket reply.

I got another EQUALLY SOULLESS and inane reply.

At that point I was ready to forget Fiverr.

But - a few days later I thought - what the heck. And I wrote them one more message, complete with explanations, humor and so on.

This time I got a reply from a "human", lol, who answered my questions and promised to reinstate my gig if I promise "NOT TO VIOLATE THEIR TOS AGAIN". The point is - I didn't violate it.

So... I couldn't resist and replied that sure, I will not violate their TOS and that I DIDN'T violate their TOS to begin with. And... that here I was thinking I was talking to a human and yet I got this standard admonition - sin no more.

To this I got a reply that my gig was now reinstated.

And thus began my love affair with Fiverr. Since then I've decided to stay in touch and write to them with ideas, suggestions - COMPLIMENTS - and occasionally just to say how great they are.

Soon, the TONE of their replies changed. I now started getting more HUMAN responses, actually acknowledging what I wrote, giving feedback, etc.

But - SOME questions remain unanswered to this day. I've asked them to explain how I can get my all-bells-and-whistles multi-thousand-sale gig to be featured (while I see very poor gigs which are) and they just replied that it's up to the review staff and wouldn't give me ANY more info. I tried MANY times - nada.

Today, after a few hundred sales of one of my gigs I got a MISTAKEN thumbs down from a client who received a royal service, lol. I asked him to please change the rating but he didn't (yet) reply. So I wrote to Fiverr to please change that - which they flatly refused.

I provide these no-compromise gigs where I give 100x more than anyone expects (cost me lots of time) and I lose money on each gig - BUT - I get clients from them and MORE THAN compensate on the back-end. So, I KNOW that my gig CAN NOT get a thumbs down - except if it's a jealous competitor.

Fiverr, DOES NOT GET IT. They're extremely rigid with their rules and, basically, these guys who man the fort there are automatons. Pleasant enough people - but automatons nevertheless.

If you have problems WRITE TO THEM, be patient and pleasant - but expect VERY SLOW satisfaction.

If, like me, you tough this (quite frequent) BLATANT UNFAIRNESS out, then - if you have very good gigs - like me, you'll make a small fortune. This makes Fiverr a potentially EXCELENT source of income. But it is NOT for the faint of heart. lol

If you do not own the medium, you can complain all day but ... you ask for it.

Fiverr Killed my gig

My WSO disappeared

Hey .. where did my signature go?

At the end of the day, their sandbox .. it is up to them if they let you play in it.

Very seldom do you see anyone post a thread about deciding to ban their own ads on their own sites.

I understand your site can get hacked or you can do something so stupid your host has to cut you lose but ....

Control every aspect of your business that you possibly can

This is weird, email them back and ask what is going wrong, if they ask you for re-post then nothing really wrong with your gig.

jealous i guess... that is not fair AT ALL, but try to change the content with some other words giving the same stuff! maybe it will help! contact their support right now!

regards,

It's really not big deal. My understanding based on the email I had with fiverr support is that they are still refining their system so gigs may be denied for a good reason, others may not. Either way, you will not win a disagreement with fiverr so I just moved on. Since I started this thread my fiverr business really took off. I had to actually hire someone full-time so I had time for other im ventures, and I'm still on pace to make 1600+ this month. Now that is passive income!

It happened to me too. Get over it, Fiverr is too good to just abandon it.
