Flippa, as it turned out, checks all users through the Russian system (I checked everything myself, the owners of this system are three Russian founders). That is, all your data ends up in Russia. I did not like it and I decided to return the money through my bank. I didn't write anything in Flippa, nothing at all. Several times they wrote to me from Flippa to indicate the reason for the cancellation, but this is a trap, they cannot be answered, Flippa will provide your correspondence to the bank and the refund will be canceled. I wrote to the bank that I want to return the money due to the Russian identity verification. The money was returned to me after 62 days.

Where do I begin?!

As soon as we listed on Flippa, we had someone very interested in our business the day after of the listing. He proceeded and purchased Due Diligence report the day after after we showed him around.

Today (after 1 month of time), the buyer cancelled the report and got a refund, and flippa thought i wanted to cancel my listing, so they cancelled and refunded me. When they did all this without my consent.

The Due Diligence team promised a report in 7-10 business days. They took 1 month and still not even halfway through. So the buyer got mad, cancelled, and left the whole site.

Flippa's customer support were VERY disrespectful.

There was a time when I did over $100,000 in business on flippa. Those were the days when it was not overrun by scam sellers. Right now it's infested with not only scam sellers, but other sellers, trying to sell their online properties at ridiculously inflated prices. I honestly think sellers just make up a number and stick it on their price tag! That's why nearly every listing goes unsold now.

I called out a scammer in his listing comments, I pointed out how his sites were scams, his traffic was fake and just about everything was faked. In fact myself and another user called him out and accompanied it with proof. In response to this, Flippa banned me for being too vocal and proactive in calling our scammers.

So that is probably me banned for life.Not that I'm too bothered, as I wouldn't do much business in this cesspit of scammers. As the Niche Pursuits review wrote so accurately - 'Are you the kind of person who gets excited when you see an email from a Nigerian prince? Then Flippa could be the place for you. Buy to your heart's content. ' Sums it up!

Lot of missing expenses in the P&L statements. Most of the P&Ls that I have seen are not correct. It is m=extremely missleading

I purchase many apps and online business from flippa. My last auction I won for $2000, i immediately paid for won auction. A week later the seller still didn't release the site to me that I purchased, instead they reported me to flippa for an investigation. Since I paid for the auction right away, and was the victim, they realized I had done nothing wrong, and told me in writing I had done nothing wrong and that I had done everything correct…. YET THEY WONT UNSUSPEND MY ACCOUNT.
They suspended my account because they claim the system automatically does it, yet they won't reinstate my account. Their customer service is a scam, they have self interests and are probably funneling money. Crooks

Tl: dr - Foreign company that pushes to obtain the information you will have to work hours or days to produce. While you have provided all the info that your business/website has existed for years. All while listing Chinese drop shippers that want a cool million for their website.

So like anyone I found the site on Google liked the easy-to-fill-out listing process and thought this should be an easy sale. For one this company is run by Indians, India has a HUGE issue with e-commerce and telemarketing scams. So there is on red flag. I was then asked several significant questions about the business requesting I provide extensive information, invoices P&L statements proof of revenue etc. Given I'm not comfortable disclosing the internals of a business to anyone, for the simple fact they can simple "reverse engineer" how to duplicate the business have all your vendors and the structure of the business that is also a red flag. I'd be happy to disclose that to a buyer, not the random person I have no NDA with. Speaking of NDA's Flippa prices start at $29 but selles packages in the hundreds or services at $99 and up. Easily you could spend $200 to $600 just to list the site for one month. Eventually, this devolved into an S-show of three to five staff asking me questions calling and aggravating me to provide information that had little bearing on selling the site. Once you review the listing you will see glaring holes in the listing where they have allowed trash to be posted. It was an aggravating and insulting process.

I had been with Flippa for 3 years with no issue. Heard from some sellers in the past about Flippa banning their account for no reason. Well, that happened to me. I had sold and bought over $60,000 on there with a 100% rating.
One afternoon, I got a message saying that my account is banned. They tried to link an auction that I had sold, to a bogus auction and said that I had duplicate accounts. This kind of ban happens all the time, on there. Not sure if there were other, hidden motives behind it.

What a horrible company! OMG.
I can't believe this company is still alive!
Have you ever forgot to pay a bill at any other company? What would happen? You get multiple reminders by email and after some time, if still not paid, you might get suspended. Totally fair, right? But what if this really did not happen on purpose? There is always a way to appeal a suspension by contacting the support team and explaining the situation. Pay whatever you're owed, and get your account active again. Well, this is how mature and respectful companies work. NOT THE CASE WITH FLIPPA. They are inhuman, uncaring, zero compassion, robots, they simply don't care whatsoever about their customers. I got banned for a $30 overdue bill 12 years ago that I sincerely forgot to pay, since I was on vacation in Cuba, where internet back then was very limited and expensive. When I got back, I noticed the account was banned. I have been trying to rectify the situation since then. Still without luck :) Out of desperation, I opened other accounts over the years, all got banned because of the first account. All this because of a $30 bill. STAY AWAY FROM FLIPPA

Bad service and agent, answering on delay. Doesn't hear my inquiry, I have working on my company for 5 years and wanted a fair value of at least 150K because I achieved 25K downloads in Israel. I will post on my Tiktok channel with 20K bad review about you, also on Google review and everywhere I can one star and that your service the most bad service and product I ever you. Shame on you Flippa, I have invested 120K on my startup and dozens of hours and time. Just show minimum respect to the entrepreneur spending hours on R&D to post in your platform, I even hire a person to help build my application, you just backstabbed me.

I notice some racism (they hate Ukrainians).
Doubled fees, fake people are bidding without payment need to relist ( it's take over 1 month, but domain renewal comes).
Don't use it!
Stay away!

Flippa, you banned me twice and took time&money away and not only them, you took something much more. I wrote You over 6 months ago that I'm doing this for a living and it's a single source of income.

I have verified ID, create a good websites and sold them, all was fine. You can check reviews in both accounts. I bought a lot of domains(using my savings) to list them on Flippa but now I got banned(can't sell them) and Why? I was just wondering how Flippa's new interface works and how it changes ranking. ( check id ******* chat).

Ian and that company, thanks for understanding, humanity and support...
I hope You are doing well. I'm not well at all, thanks for You.

My friend tried to register to your platform but the minute he submitted his id he got banned. Do you have something againts Czech people? And now you are threatening me with a ban too?

They will find any reason to ban an account. They have banned my account for someone sent fake things to them. I didn't do that I sent all the proofs to them. WORST SERVICE EVER!

Long term seller from US here. I Prefer to stay anonymous as if Flippa finds out who I am they would probably straight ban me for just my review.

If you are planning on selling on Flippa now then I would advice you to wait. They keep increasing the listing prices without any notification out of the blue to crazy expensive. The current main issue however is the customer support incredibly horrible at the moment. Wait until they finally switch them unless you want to sell for 6-7 figures where they allocate you a sales rep who will probably "lick your butt". We tried it. Just make sure to turn to him with your question instead. And as you can the majority of the good reviews are "Invited" so you know what to expect.

Typical non existent outsourced zendesk support. A company this size still uses cheap unreliable support. You better off googling the answer to our question or asking other people on flippa. Especially if you get that Ian guy.

THE WORST 12 MONTHS EXPERIENCE FROM A 100% RATED SELLER TurnkeyProfit Mark STOLE £400+ THE SELLER DID NOT DELIVER WEBSITES HE WAS VERY RUDE AND IGNORES MESSAGES WEEKS TO MONTHS WITH NO HELP ONLY INSULTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ALLOWED THIS SELLER TO CONTINUE SELLING SAYING THEY CANNOT REFUND ME AVOID THIS DISGUSTING SCAM SITE

I'm here to stand up as well against the injustice that Flippa did to a small seller.

The company Broozbirds by Fazekas Norbert (*******) was a trusted business and Norbert is my friend. It seems like without any sensible reason Flippa banned his company. This is wrong. If we let big companyes do what ever they want they will.

They banned him and gave no chance to reply. They took away a his business with a click of a button with a non sensible reason and no matter who hard he tries to contact them they made their mind up. They won't contact him.

Their reason for all this: Few buyers only showed interest in his products. This is suspicious so ban everybody. Oh and do not give them a opportunity to explain themselves.

Flippa account: *******

Full of scammers and Flippa banns the only good ones, without reason.

DON'Z SELL, DON't BUY ON FLIPPA, EVER!

I WAS a seller on Flippa under the name of my Company Broozbirds. They suddenly out of nowhere banned me with the reason of shill bidding. Meaning I bid on my own auction. Of course that never happened. I even have proof that never happened, but Flippa won't even write me back. They don't listen to the sellers. They don't care about customer protection, nor about seller protection. Sites if full of scammers and they banned me, one of the only legit sellers, and I can't even prove my case.

My name is Norbert Fazekas, I did what they say I made their money and they banned me without a reason.

If you are looking to sell my advice is:

NEVER USE FLIPPA for your own good.

If you are looking to buy my advice is:

NEVER USE FLIPPA for your own good.

They did this in a way that many buyers are left without the completion of our transaction, and I can not communicate with them about what happened.

No communication.

No protection.

High costs.

Buggy Platform.

Scammers everywhere especially at Flippa headquarters.

The company just changed its listing fee from 15 to 29 dollars. I think they have problems its not like people spend dollars buying software.
