Craigslist ad vanished?
I posted an ad around noon today on Craigslist, went back to edit it to add a pic, and discovered it was no longer there.
My understanding, or perhaps misunderstanding, is that one will receive an email when an ad is 'flagged' for violating
the rules (obvious scamming, porn, etc.). I received no email. I'm not finding much in trying to figure out what happened.
Anyone with a similar experience or just words of wisdom?

Thanks.

1. Think I have discovered the problem
Apparently I've been "ghosted" by Craigslist. Even though I can view my add from my account, it doesn't appear to others. This can happen if they have any reason to believe you're a spammer or if you have been flagged by users for offensive content.

Trouble is, neither applies to me or my add. See if you agree or not:

2006 Hyosung GV650 - Black and Chrome Beauty - $3250 (West Boise)

Be prepared for a lot of looks, this bike gets a lot of attention at the stoplights. The 90-degree V-Twin puts out about 70 HP and it will easily outrun anything in its class from the Big 4. Belt final drive delivers smooth performance without the shortcomings of either chains or shafts. It comes with a large plexi-fairing, soft bags and newly recovered seat. 6800 miles, good as new. Please bring a motorcycle endorsement if you want to test ride.

Hurry on this one, it won't last at this price. Email or Call 555-1212 (not the real number).


Maybe the last line sounds a little too much like a commercial? :shrug:
