fiverr online ripoff to customers and providers, Internet

So these guys were highly touted by the large media companies, I signed up as a provider and started doing the little $5 jobs ($3.90) after they take their cut. Over 400 jobs later they decide to block me and block the 8 customers I have booked to do work for with no means of contacting them.

Meanwhile they have put a hold on over $250 in jobs I have done(approx 65) and refuse to pay me even though I have completed the jobs and have 100% feedback from the customers I did the jobs for.

The customers I have booked and not completed the jobs for have no way of knowing I was blocked as fiverr still allows them to send me messages that I can't respond to.

 They also have the customers money.

I joined the site to do some jobs, learn more about internet marketing and make some business contacts, which I did and am very happy with , except for fiverr cutting me off , even when I did a testimonial video about their site.

Providers stay away, customers really all you have to lose is $5, I have used a few providers and it was well worth $5.

Other site like (((competitor's name redacted))) and (((redacted))) pay the providers right away so there is no danger of doing the work and not getting paid.

 Live and learn... I did!
