They removed my gig without any comments, just because I wrote in my description that I have good reputation on other freelance service. It wasn't even a URL, just a name of that service. And they write it's not possible to recover my descriptions and FAQ. I spent 3 hours creating that gig and Fiver simply stole my time. It was so user-friendly! I'm speechless.
They scammed me and stole six hundred dollars. They're not even sorry. Well. Ladies and gentlemen, they are TEESPRING.COM!
They found and hired me as a graphic designer, approved some first test projects and then... simply disappeared without any reason. I was scammed by Chris Daft (VP of trust and safety, Teespring). That was absolutely unexpected. He and his company just ignore me and I don't know what's wrong with them. I'M DONE WITH IT.
Special thanks to Global Head of Community - Bridget Sauer, who thinks ignoring people is absolutely normal thing in this company.
Please think twice before dealing with cheap people.
As a designer I tried to verify my account 4 times sending photos of me and my Russian passport. This just doesn't work. After contacting support I was asked to send again:
1) My portfolio (already sent)
2) Picture of my document (already sent)
3) Picture of my face (already sent)
4) + Picture of me with my document
Even payments systems didn't ask me this. And I absolutely don't understand why do they need this information and what are they going to do with my personal information further.

Hi Vitally,
As a platform that deals daily with incoming and outgoing payments and currency changing hands across the globe, we do require identities to be verified.
In the past, 99designs did allow its users to do this anonymously, which can cause problems that result in misuse of the site. Given that many of our members are designers, it makes it easy for unscrupulous users to try and Photoshop IDs to get around our site policies! Our verification provider, Jumio, catches these - but when a document is unsupported by our system, as in this case, we have to help manually verify your account instead.
For our staff to help make sure only legitimate users are signing up, we do require a photo of you holding your ID in addition to the photo of the document - this way, we know that the ID is actually in your possession. We can have a staff member reach out to work with you so that you can get going on the site, and so that they can answer any questions!
