Fiverr sets broad rules about what content is allowed and can remove your content or suspend your account if it decides your content violates its standards — with 'sole discretion' meaning there is no fixed checklist you can rely on.
Sellers whose gig content or communications are flagged under Fiverr's broad and subjectively applied content standards risk sudden removal of their listings and account suspension, potentially losing active orders and pending payments without a clearly defined appeals process.
