    Hey All,
    A bit frustrated as my established Flippa account having 103 reviews has been blocked for no reason. Someone hacked my account and played something stupid. Although I managed to get the login back, I was banned from the site. As I assume that I can't create new account from the same PC, I would really appreciate any ways to get my old account back or create new account from the same PC..... I often sell 1 site per day, small profit though.....but it really was a steady flow of income

    Thanks a bunch in advance

    Large sites like fiverr (except google) are generally understanding about things like this. If you tell them your account got banned, then they can track ip and double check it.

    It is sad to hear that. But certainly, you can ask flippa to check your records and act accordingly. They will surely re-instate your account.

    Well, I contacted them, but I was told that I have played tricks with the accounts [which was actually done by the hacker:-(

    Keep bothering them with phone calls and e-mails. Eventually they will realize that you are not going to simply go away and they will fix the problem. I had a similar problem with Freelancer before. They said they would not give me the money that was in escrow because my employer had created two accounts, which was a violation of the Terms of Service. About 5 online chats, 2 phone calls and 10 e-mails later I got my money. Nag them! But also do it politely. Try to express urgency without sounding like a jerk.

    There is actually a pretty good eBook out there called "Flip Stealth."

    It shows you how to create a new stealth account without being linked or banned again!

    I had a similar experience with flippa,
    contact their support again
    if you had not got buyer certification tell them you will provide details for buyer certification (might work).
