Hello Respected Sir,


My Flippa Account Banned few Days Back.
I am explaining all things i know its quite long but i hope you will help.


I made Flippa account nearly four Months Back. I was complete new at that time and didn't know how flippa works and so i was trying to make account and i made account with name " Megadroid " and i chose that name by mistake. but from that account i haven't done any activity, No any listing or No any BID. After 2 to 3 days i made new account named " Geek Studio " with proper email and all details, Then suddenly i got mail from flippa :

Hi Megadroid,

Your account has been banned for guideline violations.
Duplicate account of " Geek Studio ". Multiple account operation by a single user is a breach of Flippa Site Rules


I mailed support team and i explained that i made mistake and i didnt know that will cause issue. and i explained how it happened because i was complete newbie. And i got this reply from flippa.
Here is support ticket for that issue : #330127

Hi,
Flippa is not a playground, you accepted our rules etc twice and did not note our first rule? Lucky for you we kindly left your 'Geek Studio' account active as your only account.

Kind Regards,

Josh W

Now here comes the main part.
After that day i was using Flippa carefully and i did some good transactions and got 100% positive feedback from all buyers. Everything was going good. And after four months i got this mail from flippa.

Hi Jimmy Garod,

Your account has been banned for guideline violations.

Your account has been temporarily banned for investigation by our Marketplace Integrity team. Please contact us for more info.

I mailed them and asked reason and Here i got reply from them.

Hi,
Why do we find two different names used for payment and use of the account?

Kind Regards,

Josh W

Now i used to make account on gmail and other sites using my nick name "Jimmy" and i used unknowingly "Jimmy Garod" in account name but in paypal its " Kamleshkumar Garod" which is same as Govt. Id Proof in India.

Now after a reply i got to know new reason from flippa.

Hi,
So you lied to me earlier. Had you been honest this would have turned out differently, as we cannot trust you we cannot trust you to adhere to our rules.

Your account was banned due to multiple account operation in breach of our site rules.

Given your actions we will no longer permit you to use our marketplace or open or operate further accounts within our site.

We thank you for giving us a try but due to your actions it is not fair on our legitimate users or mutually beneficial to allow you to participate in our market.

Kind Regards,

Josh W

Now, sir i explained all things to flippa about what happened and we had already resolved that issue in past.
I show Mr. Josh this reply which i got from him few moths back. and after that day i was using flippa carefully.

Hi,
Flippa is not a playground, you accepted our rules etc twice and did not note our first rule? Lucky for you we kindly left your 'Geek Studio' account active as your only account.

Kind Regards,
Josh W


Now sir here i want to tell you something.
I explained what happened in my previous mail. fours months ago i was completely new on flippa and i did mistake . But after that we resolved that issue. And got reply that flippa have cancelled " Megadroid " and "Geek Studio" is my only active account.
So i was thinking if that ( megadroid) account is already deleted then there is no any issue because i have only one Account and which i was using.
Flippa is No. 1 market place for entrepreneurs and I am working hard to do business with Flippa. I have faith in Flippa. And i am not like what i was before fours months ago, I am regular legitimate user now and keeping every terms in my mind, I am trying my best and will do to increase my business.

I am requesting you by explaining all these things because I learnt alott from flippa, Flippa gave me opportunities to connect with people and to do business. and, I really want to do business with Flippa. I'll make sure i won't do such mistake again.
I hope you will help.
I wish we can solve this.

Can anyone please tag Flippa domains or someone from flippa?

Josh W is an a$$H---. He is the reason people get banned for unintentional mistakes. Tell him to F off. Forget Flippa and move on to other market places.

I havent done any mistake this time. I had mistake when i was new on flippa 5 months ago. but Josh W. has solved that issue five months ago. and now he is telling again that why you have two account? but he already deleted one and made me sure that i have only one active account.

Nothing to lose. Move your business elsewhere (SEDO, GoDaddy auctions, Undeveloped, Afternic, NameJet, UniregistryMarket)

@iHaveThisIdea hey, thank you for your reply.
I hope you read it.
If that thing was solved in past how Josh W. can say that i have two accounts?
Is there my fault now? I am Banned in misunderstanding. Please let me know.

You need to move on. Obviously they don't want to deal with your complaint anymore.

@Justin Matmor But Mate, I was not wrong this time. I did mistake in past and flippa solved that mistake past. Now its not fair to BAN me for that old mistake.
I am not wrong here so i don't want to give up.
I mailed Josh W. and he realised everything but he is not replying now. -_-

@ Greek Studio: You have to accept that was your mistake, your problem first and talk to Josh to give you a chance to come back to Flippa. I think that if he allows to come back, he will ask you to wait for at least 6 months or a year and then he will look back your problem and you can come back. He will not allow you to come back immediately at present.

@Sinh Thanks for your reply. I already accepted it, and even Josh W. know that what happened in past, because he solved that issue by deleting one account and keeping another one active.
Are you sure he won't allow immediately? because i got mail about " Your account is temporary Banned" But after that i haven't got any mail like " Permanent BAN".

Whatever, it is still your mistake and you have to understand that clearly. Now you have to wait to see what is coming from Flippa to you, there are a lot of things / issues/ problems with users that they have to solve everyday, not only from you, be patient and time will give you an answer.

Hello,
Did you create second account using the same email?. If I create new account using new email and new information, will I get suspended??

I was searching about this because I am now facing this issue. So, I have found this of yours. Though this post was posted a long time ago by you.
