Flippa suspended my account for just posting links to my no-reserve auctions in the seller notes

Raghav Nehra · Feb 21, 2018

I got an email from flippa, saying that my account has been suspended because in the seller's notes of my auctions..i had posted links to my other no-reserve auctions.
All the sellers on flippa do that but then why was only i suspended if it was not allowed.
i have never posted any link on the listing of others sellers..neither placed any comment.
i see all sellers writing in the seller notes: "kindly check out my other no-reserve auctions, this this and this". So what wrong have i done???

You might have accidentally linked to a non flippa site/auction

bro i am not that stupid...i have never ever posted any link in my seller notes..other than my no-reserve auctions...all sellers on flippa put the links to their no-reserve auctions in their seller notes..even the supper sellers..but only my account is suspended..if posting links to my own auctions in my own listings was il-legal then atleast i should have been given q warning..i had 3 live auctions on flippa at the moment and i guess i have lost the listing fee of them all.... :/

In all seriousness there must be a reason. are you sure it is the links and not something else?

Call them and plead your case, don't take no for an answer and ask to speak to a supervisor. Mistakes happen, tell them you will do your best so it does not happen again. The ban is automatic and some of the spotters there can get a bit trigger happy at times.

@Flippa ....... tell him what's going on

johname · Feb 21, 2018

Also might have done it to the point it is considered spaming.

Only advice I can give is saying "Everyone else does it" dos not help in these situations. Instead comb through the rules and try to build a case in your favor. Be prepared, and then contact support. Good Luck

i have written an email..but this seems unfair..every single seller on flippa posts the links to their other auction in seller's notes. i would surely be guilty if i spammed other people's listings..but i have never done that..because i know the consequences..

so you are saying that inserting just 2 links (at maximum) of my other no-reserve auctions in my own seller's notes is "spamming"...?

In their eyes you have been spamming. Is there more to the story? Just asking

I did but there is a reason for everything. At the end of the day this is wasted effort for you, Contact them to sort it out is the only real option, good luck

Already did..via email..but no replies yet..

got reply from Flippa support, the agent said that "If other sellers jump off a cliff, would you also do the same?"

omg, what a bunch of nimrods, that has to be the most unprofessional reply possible.
No, here is what you did, it's not allowed, if you promise not to do it again we will re-instate your account.

Seriously

Employees like that should be fired.
I guess they have so much business that they don't have to worry about losing a few clients

Flippa automatically displays a link to your other auctions.
