Disappointing Support
My account was suspended without a clear explanation, and I remained blocked for three weeks even though I had three paid listings running. During this time, several different support agents replied to my emails, but none of them were able to provide a clear reason for the restriction.
Their answers felt unprepared and inconsistent, which made the whole process even more confusing.
After many checks and a long exchange of messages, my account was finally reactivated.
However, instead of receiving an apology for the misunderstanding or the time lost, the final message was written in an unexpectedly harsh and disrespectful tone. Overall, the experience left me disappointed and hoping for a more professional, respectful, and competent support approach in the future.

Verified ReviewerLost $38US to transaction fees and got nothing for it
I tried to purchase a website, paid for it in Escrow, then the seller said he had problems with the payment on his side and asked me to cancel so I can pay with Paypal instead. I did and got most of my money back, but not the $38US transfer fee.
I requested the user to reimburse me but haven't heard from him.
I basically lost money for nothing, because of the sellers issues, and Flippa is not doing anything about it. In fast, they tried to suspend my account!

Verified ReviewerFake Listings and False Advertisment
Sellers have fake listings on their site and Flippa takes no responsibility of verifying the listings are legit. Flippa tries to to make it by the buyers responsible some how verify the listings they have on their on platform.
The sellers and buyers have to register, so Flippa should be verify the listings them. Is Flippa is not going to do anything, then what is the point of using them.
- Fake listings
- Useless customer service
- False advertisement
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerSuspended For No Reason & Bad Customer Service
After getting my listing suspended for deleting spam/fake comments. Flippa decides to say my revenue claims aren't legit.
I happily submit my payouts via Shopify and video proof of it. Apparently this is not enough for Ricky (the customer service rep). He now wants video proof of me logging into my bank showing all my personal details.... doesn't this go against privacy?
After showing them my bank statements with my account number and name on it, this is STILL NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM. AFTER PAYING $400 I GET SCREWED OVER BY THEM. They refuse to lift the suspension resulting in a loss of time and money. Awful service that allows scammers as well, I literally got banned for deleting unserious/troll comments.
What kind of company does that? Shame on you Ricky, you have no sense of urgency or care for customers that pay money to you.
- Customer service response time
- That theres no phone number
Preferred solution: Lift the suspended listing

Verified ReviewerThey banned me for unethical reason
I got banned for unethical reason, Flippa is backing Super Sellers, they banned me for the reason of copying website, which I don't do any copyright violations. I've been created my website from the scratch.
Even they don't have patience to review the source file of my website.
Anybody can cross check my website and compare with their source file hostingjug is mine and hostinglux is super seller website, that I'm using another wp theme to built my website but it's similar to hostinlux. It's not wrong. JMO. I'm taking inspiration from their website but I've modified a few in middle.
They are using a different theme as well.
so it's not copying.
themeforest.net selling 1000's of wp themes, most of the themes home page is the same, few people use varying options. so it's not wrong. If I'm using wp, elementor, woo-commerce, then most of the templates are the same. I believe nothing wrong in it.
Flippa is just backing the super sellers who are giving good revenues to them.
Even in Flippa site rules they didn't stated anywhere that users are not allowed to make same websites. Flippa is doing Dictatorship.
When I asked and explained with each and every difference to Antoinette S (Flippa support), he simply said "The decision is final and all the best outside of Flippa."
Does flippa really thinks that creating same website is serious threat? or Violation of Copyright Act?
I request to flippa guys to have some morality.
They tries hard to ban new sellers who is going to give tough competition to super sellers, And they backed super sellers with no doubt.
And as I seen in trustpilot, they make fake reviews as I read carefully they make 3-4 5 star ratings for each 1 star ratings, to maintain good reputaion in trust pilot.
And they report the reviews who raised voice against them.
PS: If you are new seller stay away. May be they will ban your account for using free stock images, that some super seller may be using the same.
- Good exposure
- Its not for noobs
- Its super sellers heaven
Preferred solution: To lift the ban

DO NOT USE FLIPPA
If you attempt to list a business through Flippa, they will list it for $1. Then, there's absolutely no way to edit or delete the business listing from your profile.
To make matters worse, they don't have a phone number to call for support or intervention. Absolutely terrible system from a seller's perspective.
- Customer support
- Customer service response time
- Bad customer service
Preferred solution: Fix your terrible website and acquire a phone number for customer support!

Verified BuyerResolved: Stole my listing money and ghosted me
they came through as promised.
I paid for a listing on "Flippa" and after working with their support to correctly prove my income, they told me the site would be reviewed by their market integrity team. Flippa had no problem with my sites market integrity. I was so transparent I even shared a full client list and analyst access to my web payment administration system which cannot be faked. Flippa then completely ghosted me until I threatened a chargeback.
They apologized and told me they would get my information to the market integrity team and then after waiting several more days i did a chargeback but only after messaging them 4 times asking for a response or a refund. Only moments after the chargeback they told me they would process my listing same day if i reversed it. I did, and then I was ghosted again. Paypal doesn't let you do 2 chargebacks on the same transaction.
This site is completely scamming people. Additionally when i kept submitting tickets, flippa deleted the conversations from their database.
- Lied to me
- Customer support
- Customer service attitude
Preferred solution: Full refund
After they approved my refund after ignoring me for weeks and only giving it to be for complaining, they blocked me from their site lmao flippa is a garbage site.
