Be Careful about Fiverr

Hi guys,

I saw a few posts in beermoney about using Fiverr, and I used the service for about two weeks and earned $40, which is really cool. What isn't cool is one day I went to login, and Fiverr informed me that "this account is inactive".

I was banned without a single email to warn me that I was going to be banned, and I tried to contact customer support asking them what's going on. They basically said that I was sending malicious material, and that buyers had complained about my services.

I had all five star reviews and only wrote articles for people, so it's not like I was sending malicious material. The reason that they banned me seems like a mistake or a misunderstanding, and I tried to work this out with their awful customer support team (who will send you unhelpful emails once a day it seems), but all I received were obviously cut and paste stock replies.

I know some people have worked well with Fiverr, and I'm not telling you not to use the service, but I am saying do so with caution! They ban indiscriminately and are impossible to talk to once that has happened.

After you're banned, you have to wait 45 days to get whatever money was in your account, too, so there's that. I just wanted everyone here to realize that Fiverr is somewhat volatile of a market, and to tread with caution/never put all your eggs in one basket sort of deal.
