I am fuming at the mo, lol. First I have issues w/ craigslist, and NOW I have problems w/ kijiji, aka ebay local free classifieds.
Craigslist: after YEARS of all of us here in RI posting pet accessories in PETS, they started flagging all our posts. Go to Forum, and learn that PETS is only for pets, not for selling items. Go to another Forum and learn that pet accessories belong in For Sale - General (which in RI is 3 pages of stuff DAILY!). Go to a third forum to ask for new category of Pet Accessories, or Pet Supplies. Get LOADS of folks agreeing. Nope.
The thing is, on each and every one of these 3 forums, I / we are called Idiots, Morons, told to learn to read, and other crap. We are "supposed" to know that the rules have ALWAYS been this way, just haven't been enforced until now. We are "supposed" to know that PETS does not allow sales, because there is no Price Box; even though rehoming fees are allowed and have to be put in the text of the ad.
So my pet stuff wasn't selling, and today I posted on Kijiji; aka ebay free local classifieds. My pet stuff went in OK. But my collectible Lenox Poppies on Blue items (2 different ads) got moved to Home Decor! :rolleyes: So these 2 collectible kitchen items are now mixed in with lamps and mirrors! Not w/ stuff folks keep on shelves and dust now and again.
I think I prefer the "old" days, when you rang the paper for an ad, spoke with a LIVE PERSON WHO HAD TO BE POLITE, and could discuss WHY a thing went where it did.
And don't get me started on my initial craigslist ID, which got frozen and NO ONE in Tech Support or General Help ever replied to get it unfrozen. GRRRRR
