My account was closed without any clear reason, which caused losses for both me and my clients. The Flippa support team made decisions without thorough consideration, and their level of expertise is quite limited. Flippa should ensure to have experienced professionals in their support team so that they can respond only after thoroughly reviewing each issue.
When I start valuation, they take my listing draft and my $99. But I tried to list one website. Those 2 drafts were not completed but they cut the payment. And their support is totally rubbish. Reply after 2/3 days later.
I am just tell they are scam. Ignore #Flippa.
I had a very disappointing experience with this company. The support team was disrespectful and unhelpful. After reporting an issue, they suspended my account without giving a valid reason. Additionally, Flippa charged me for a listing but failed to deliver the promised service. I felt my privacy was violated, and the support manager in Europe was particularly unprofessional. Overall, I do not recommend dealing with this company.
I sent a message to the customer service 4 month ago and no one replied to me. I don't know what to do. Flippa, please reply to me.
I purchased a website it was a scam lost 18k. They agreed I was scammed anyone wanna see the email? Don't buy from them.
1. A few years ago, I fell for a $1,500 scam despite everything looking great and legit in the due diligence. Then exactly 4 days after the money transfer and the asset handover, I figured out that this was scam and I contacted support. They said they released the money already although their policy says the money release takes 7 days. Zero customer care.
2. Four months after that, I noticed a similar listing on their website so I contacted them to warn them and try save others. But their response was meaningless and they just let the next victim fall for it. Zero customer care.
Subject: Urgent: Request for Action on Pending Tickets
Hello *
I hope this message finds you well.
I am Rutvik, and you can find my profile here: [Your Flippa Profile Link](https://flippa.com/users/*******). I am writing to inquire about the status of the following support tickets:
1. Ticket ID: [*******](http://support.flippa.com/hc/requests/*******)
2. Ticket ID: [*******](https://support.flippa.com/hc/requests/*******)
It has come to my attention that there are pending issues with Pakistani sellers on the platform. If necessary actions are not taken promptly, I feel compelled to share my feedback on platforms such as Trustpilot and Sitejabber by this evening.
As a trusted seller with a 100% rating, it is disheartening to witness potential scams from sellers in the community. I kindly request that you thoroughly investigate the matter and take appropriate action against these individuals.
Your swift response and resolution of this matter will be highly appreciated. In the absence of a timely update, I may feel obligated to bring the issue to the attention of Flippa's investors.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Rutvik

Even after closing a sale, it took over a month for the funds to be placed and cleared in an escrow account. When the funds finally cleared, I turned over my assets to the buyer in under 24 hours. The buyer then clicked the "clear funds" button in the "Complete My Deal" tab. Despite doing so, Flippa refused to transfer the funds into my account because of an email floating in the ether. This email was supposed to confirm the release, despite the buyer already doing so. Flippa did not care, and was very unresponsive and uncaring about the entire deal. As of writing this, I still do not have my $10,000 and do not have my Shopify or domain name anymore. Hopefully, I will get my money or business back.

They stole from me thousands! I paid for a business and got nothing in return and they offer 0 help
Too many scams. Sites have no seo value. Been on mailings list for 6 months. Waste if time. Sites are not curated any list their site. Reviews are fake.
Scammers. They will charge a 50USD listing fee and then will not list the business. The reason they told me that i wanna sell my business at too high a price. I fact the price proposed was the price i had sold 100 similar businesses.
Hi Mardo, a refund for a paid listing package fee should have been provided if your assets were not successfully listed for sale on Flippa.
- The Flippa Team
Flippa's tactics to sell your business are in the best interest of their broker only. They have an exclusivity clause that locks you in to using only them to sell your business. And charge you gy the month for the privilege! Beware! They will grossly under value your business by talking you into low EBITDA values only with zero accounting for goodwill or discretion spending etc..
Don't join flippa, they are a bunch of scammers They Ban my account and stole my listing fees and advertising payments.
They Send me fake buyers and ban me for no reasons and keep creating excuse each time i join them.
Take care, i will be sure to fight this scammers to last breath and write articles about there scamms everywhere.
In case your account is suspended by Flippa (fraud) team, please don't pay the invoice they ask you to pay. Once you complete invoices and make payments, the Flippa (Fraud) will ban your account stating different terms which are not disclosed and may they show a connections with other accounts as well.
We expect all of our users to comply with our Terms of Service, which are agreed to when you create a Flippa account and again before any listing is launched. These Terms include the obligation to pay our listing package fees and a Success Fee upon completion of a successful sale. Whenever we discover actions by users which seriously contravene our Terms and endanger other users and our marketplace integrity, we take quick action to remove them from Flippa.
Excellent support as always. I have been using Flippa full time now for three years and I can't emphasise how great that support has been on the platform. I always get a responce from Flippa within 24 hours which helps me to sell my stores and is one of the reasons why I prefer Flippa over a number of other website selling platforms I have tried. Thanks team! - Eddie
I do not recommend at all. Buyers have no protection and are easily scammed. The platform owners don't care about buyers and never respond to queries. I would steer clear as a buyer!
First, I have an issue, they have responded positively and fixed it.
They need to change some policy and they will do great
The place is full of criminals and liers I think Flippa cover them because wants to take money the only way we have is to advice others about this behaviour.Stay away liers ready to do something to you.
Such unprofessional support. They allowed a seller to cancel a $10,000 transaction through their platform and I lost over $2,000 to get the money back.
To add insult to injury the seller reported my account and I got suspended and now banned for no apparent reason.
This is a warning to all of you wanting to try and purchase through flippa to DON'T go into it.
Use alternative services.
UPDATE:
Flippa is illegally refusing to remove my data from their website and services for over a year now. To add to unsult, somehow my data was leaked from Flippa and i'm getting scam sms to as "A Premium Flippa Buyer."
Stay away from Flippa!
