What Happens When Fiverr Restricts Your Account?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:21 am

If you’re a freelancer on Fiverr, then you know that one of the worst things that can happen is having your account restricted. This usually happens when Fiverr believes that you’ve violated one of their terms of service, and it can be a real pain to get your account reinstated.

In this article, we’ll take a look at what happens when your Fiverr account is restricted, and how you can go about getting it reinstated.

When your Fiverr account is restricted, you’ll no longer be able to access your account or any of the services that it offers. This means that you won’t be able to log in to your account, post any new gigs, or communicate with any of your buyers.

In addition, your existing gigs will be taken down and you will no longer be able to receive payments for them. If you have any funds in your Fiverr balance, they will also be inaccessible.

PRO TIP: If your Fiverr account is restricted, it means that you have violated one or more of our Terms of Service. This may include, but is not limited to, spamming, sending unsolicited messages or advertising, or engaging in any other activity that is prohibited by our Terms of Service. If your account is restricted, you will not be able to access your account or withdraw any funds that you have earned.

The first thing you should do if your account is restricted is reach out to Fiverr support and try to figure out why it happened. It’s possible that there was a misunderstanding or that you accidentally violated one of their rules.

If you can get in touch with someone at Fiverr and explain the situation, they may be able to help you get your account reinstated. However, if they believe that you did violate their terms of service, then it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to help you.

If you can’t get your account reinstated through Fiverr support, then your only option is to create a new account. This isn’t as bad as it sounds, but it does mean starting from scratch.

You’ll need to create new gigs and build up your buyer base again, but it’s possible to do if you’re willing to put in the work. Once you’ve created a new account, be sure to read through the Fiverr terms of service carefully so that you don’t make the same mistake twice.

Conclusion:

Getting your Fiverr account restricted can be a real pain, but there are ways to deal with it. The first step is reaching out to customer support and trying to get your account reinstated.

If that doesn’t work, then you’ll need to create a new account and start from scratch. Either way, be sure to read through the terms of service carefully so that you don’t make the same mistake twice.
