Arbitrary Ban, No Transparency, No Support
Flippa permanently banned my account without providing any specific reason or evidence, only citing vague “identity-related concerns.”
I had been an active user for over two years, completed both ID and phone verification, and conducted transactions in good faith while following platform rules. I received no warning, no prior notice, and no opportunity to resolve any alleged issue before being banned.
When I contacted support asking for clarification, I was told that Flippa “doesn’t share the specific reason” and that I should simply trust their decision. Since then, my follow-up emails offering to re-verify my identity, submit additional documents, or cooperate with any compliance review have been completely ignored.
This lack of transparency and accountability is extremely concerning for a marketplace that handles high-value digital assets. Users can lose access to their accounts overnight with no explanation and no meaningful appeal process.
If you value fair treatment, communication, and due process, think very carefully before using Flippa. My experience shows that your account can be permanently banned at their discretion, with no recourse and no explanation.

Hi Svetlana,
Unfortunately, we have banned your account. We do ban accounts from time to time, and this will relate to a breach or perceived breach of Flippa’s Terms of Service. We do this vigilantly as a way of maintaining and protecting a global and vibrant marketplace. Refunds have been processed for any listing package fees where listings were live at the time of your account ban.
We may permanently remove Flippa account access when we determine there are serious ethical violations and/or those of our Terms of Service. These include, but are not limited to:
- links to previously sanctioned accounts
- shill bidding to artificially increase the sale price
- intent to take deals outside Flippa
- self-promotional or abusive messages
- false claims of identity, false claims of performance, or ownership of listed assets or other listing integrity issues
- excessive lost disputes
We don’t share the specific reason but you can be rest assured that we only ban customers where we are substantially concerned about the actions that have taken place.
- The Flippa Integrity Team
Fast and clear.

Successful purchase with Ashwin
We purchased a business with Ashwin as the broker. He was prompt, thorough and efficient. Ashwin and the sellers made the purchase easy and clear- even as first time buyers.
You can trust that Ashwin will lead you through the process and be transparent and helpful. We had experiences with other brokers through Flippa and Ashwin certainly was miles ahead of anyone else- even over the busy Xmas/NY period. He worked hard for both buyer and seller. If you see his name as the agent on a listing, don’t hesitate!

Be Careful: ‘Sold’ Doesn’t Always Mean Paid
I tried selling my website, Book Fly Deals, on Flippa. Although the listing was marked as “sold,” the buyer never completed the payment. I waited almost a full month before being forced to open a dispute. During this time, my domain expired because I decided not to renew it, and I ended up losing the money I paid for Flippa’s service without completing the sale.
This experience was disappointing and time-consuming. Perhaps Flippa works better for larger, high-value projects where both the platform and buyers are more serious, but for smaller websites my experience was not positive.
Edit: Flippa’s support team later reached out to me and refunded the cost of their service. I gave 3 stars instead of 1 because I believe they should be more attentive and proactive when a buyer fails to complete the payment.

Great service
Great service, however, the tax on under 5k-10k sites should be less than the current.

They messed up a huge sale...
They literally banned me out of nowhere in the middle of discussing a huge sale. I have no way to contact them and I lost my buyer.
So much for a reputable company...

Misleading Exposure and No Response to Paid Sellers
I honestly do not understand the hype around Flippa. I repeatedly heard that starter websites with zero revenue, priced under $5,000, sell quickly. Based on this expectation, I listed my website on Flippa using the Starter package.
It has now been more than three weeks, and the experience has been extremely disappointing.
My listing shows 43 views, but this number does not reflect real buyer exposure. A large portion of these views came from repeated refreshes from the same account and IP address while checking visibility. These refreshes were still counted as unique views by Flippa. Based on this, I estimate that only around 10 views were actually genuine.
This raises serious concerns about how Flippa measures and reports listing visibility, especially for starter sellers who rely entirely on platform exposure.
The asset I listed is not a basic or unfinished website. It is a fully functional booking web application with a complete backend system, package management, blog management, and booking workflows. The sale includes the live website, full source code, domain, business email, and all associated content.
Despite this, the listing does not appear to be shown to real buyers. If the platform itself is not providing exposure, it becomes nearly impossible for a seller to make a sale, regardless of asset quality.
Flippa frequently promotes success stories of businesses selling for millions of dollars. However, for smaller sellers, even selling a complete and functional product for under $5,000 feels unrealistic.
UPDATE – Feb 9, 2026
I posted this review on Jan 28, and as of today, Flippa has still not responded, while newer 5-star reviews receive replies within hours.
This selective response pattern reinforces my concern that negative feedback from paying sellers is being ignored rather than addressed.
I paid for this listing expecting genuine buyer exposure and platform support. Neither has been delivered.

Hi Muhammad,
While we don't get into details about a particular listing on Trustpilot, we have many thousands of Buyers viewing and buying on Flippa every day from all over the world.
We find overwhelmingly that our keen pool of Buyers on Flippa are interested in assets which either are currently generating revenue, or have clear near-term possibility to do so.
Our new Projects & Concepts listing category is designed for assets which may have promise – and even spent significant investments in development – but are not yet earning revenue. This category was created so assets like yours have a place on Flippa and are not bound to a $9,999 limit like new or starter websites, but are Open to Offers from interested parties. These assets are necessarily more speculative, and require a different sort of Buyer to get interested and reach out to you.
Flippa listing 'views' are based on a browser loading your listing page, and Projects & Concepts listings are not managed by a member of our team given their more speculative nature.
We've reached out to you directly as well.
Cheers,
- The Flippa Team
