madkaw Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I have now had 2 ads deleted for not following the rules of placing an ad. I guess I am missing something. I have read the rule but can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The only thing I see is the selling price issue. But when you fill out the ad submission form it tells you to put a 0 if you don't have a set price. Plus I have several items that don't go together. the rules also say something about paying for the ad but how is that done. I have donated to the club and I have been a member for several months atleast. I really enjoy this site and it is a very useful tool to my restoration of my z, so I am feeling fustrated at this point, can someone help me? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 You have to have a minimum number of posts and have been here a certain amount of time before you can use the classifieds. Basically we want the person to have a reputation on the site before they can start using it to sell stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SuperDan Posted May 25, 2005 Administrators Share Posted May 25, 2005 One little caveat to that is. Donating members are not required to wait the 14 days or have a minimum number of posts. Also, there seems to be some confusion about 2 things: 1. Ads are free, there is no fee for placing one.(I know it's a little confusing with the email you may get when your ad is deleted) 2. An asking price IS REQUIRED, even though the software gives you the option to select "Best Offer". I need to remove that option when I get a chance.

Oldestzguy Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 This morning, I discovered all of my classified ads were deleted and this is what I have found since then: 1) I am stupid because I did not read the classified ad rules that were very easy to find. This adjective of me is self imposed. 2) I still don't know exactly who deleted them so I cannot easily contact them 3) I still don't know exactly why they were deleted so I may make the proper correction; as the reasons (form letter) evidently could have been multiple 4) Even though one of the reasons stated was for non payment of the ads (I did not know there was a charge) I have since found out there evidently is no charge, I guess? 5) Evidently, if you make a donation, you don't have to wait fourteen days or to build up a reputation or something 6) I have one green dot already which seems to mean I am somehow going in the right direction, but this somehow still did not keep my ads published 7) You have to have a minimum number of posts but I don't know what that number is so I can wait until then 8) I just bought one project car and three other Z cars and hundreds of brand new and used parts and having to list all of them would be a nightmare reserved for the ebay profit hunter types 9) I wanted the Hybrid Z members to get first crack at all the parts so I don't have to work so hard listing all of them on ebay for top dollar I am perfectly willing to make a gold level donation if someone would tell me this is the real problem rather than the other ones listed I need help from the decision maker that deleted them mostly because there appears to be even more contradictions to some of the rules, ie. payment, listed price, etc. and I don't want to go through this again, of course I was happy that I could give the members some of the stuff they need before I am forced to make it a profit hunt because of the time required Whoever you are, please see that my attitude is in the right place, my ability to donate is available, and please help me accomplish this. I have many many parts and I have now read everything and searched everything and am a little more confused than ever. This is in no way a complaint, it is a plea Please read number one again. Many thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madkaw Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 so I guess all of this is telling me that the only thing I did wrong was not put a price. I will try again for the third time to put my ad in. I also am not upset as I am confused. thanks for the response administrator steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
