How Can We Easily Prevent an Account from Being Flagged
1. Follow Fiverr’s Terms of Service
I strongly believe following the rules of any platform is the first and foremost thing to follow. As sellers, it is strictly important to follow the rules and regulations.
Violating the rules and regulations such as involving in offering prohibited services, spamming (include all kinds of spam activities) and engaging in fraudulent activities which highly affects the buyer is the main cause for your account being highlighted as flagged. Therefore, it is really important and necessary to read and understand Fiverr’s terms of service (ToS).
2. Deliver Quality Work
It is definitely our right as a seller to provide high quality service.Not providing neat and quality work may lead to receive lower ratings and bad reviews.
Which sometimes may result in your customer to complaint. Also, it is necessary to provide and submit our service before the deadline passes. Both of the above mentioned points are literally the key points which we should consider while delivering our service. And, maintaining these properly gives your account a proper recognition while preventing your account from flagging.
3. Clear Communication
As sellers, most of our clients get attracted by how much professionalism we maintain while we communicate. It is really important to maintain a clear and professional communication with our clients. While following an unclear communication and unprofessionalism with clients may lead to great misunderstandings which often result in your account flagging.
4. Avoid Canceling Orders
Canceling your orders may often result in flagging and it definitely affects your upcoming orders in most of the ways. Therefore, frequently canceling your orders should be avoided. If you come across any issues with an order it is highly appreciated if you try to resolve the issue with the client rather than canceling it by yourself.
5. Stay Active and Updated
Staying updated and active is also a main thing which client get easily attracted to. Staying active through your pc or by downloading the Fiverr app and responding to your clients as soon as possible and updating your gigs and profile regularly will prevent your account from being flagged unnecessarily. Inactivity is a great threat which makes you unaware of knowing what happens in your own account.
6. Avoid Using Multiple Accounts
Some people, in the name of providing multiple services create multiple accounts which will hunt you down. If your really interested in offering multiple services then you can create different gigs for your account in one account rather than creating many accounts. Using multiple accounts will result in suspension.
