Why Were My Classified Phone Verified Accounts Put On Hold?

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

If you post on Classified then you have probably had an account put on hold at least once, maybe even twice. Did you know there are a few things to keep in mind when posting on Classified that will greatly reduce and help eliminate your accounts being put on hold?

Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when posting on Classified is that you need to be able to change IPs as much as possible. If you are just the casual poster and do one or two posts a week then there won’t be a problem. For those who post more than this, you should definitely look into some kind of setup that allows you to change IP. Classified offers two kinds of accounts. Standard and phone verified. If you are posting with standard/non-verified accounts you should do at most 10 posts per day per IP. For phone verified accounts you should only do 1 post per day per IP. If you go beyond this it increases the chances of Classified putting your accounts on hold. This is the number one reason people find their accounts on hold. The second cause for accounts being placed on hold is people post ads in the incorrect sections in Classified. Doing this increases the chances that people will flag your ads as spam. The more times your account post ads that are flagged as spam, the higher the chance your account will be put on hold. Try to post ads in the relevant sections in Classified and avoid having ads flagged. This is the second main cause of accounts being put on hold.

Hopefully with these two tips you will be able to avoid having any accounts put on hold. Accounts that are put on hold can never be used again, so do your best to remember these tips.

Classified Phone Verified Accounts On Hold?

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

You may know that Classified can sometimes place accounts on hold. The exact cause of accounts being put on hold is unknown but it is possibly related to posting too many ads. Other than causing a slight disruption to your posting, it is not a big deal. However, Classified Phone Verified Accounts can also be blocked. Many people assume that because the accounts are phone verified, it is impossible for them to be placed on hold. They make the mistake of assuming that verifying the accounts makes them super accounts and can post as much as they like. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In actual fact, verified accounts should be used with much more care than normal accounts. Just remember that verified accounts are still subject to Classified posting rules. Classified Phone Verified Accounts can still be put on hold if you spam Classified with too many ads.

Supported Numbers For Phone Verified Classified Accounts

Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Have you recently been forced to create Phone Verified Classified Accounts, then it is best to find out what numbers you can and can’t use. Even though there are many different kinds of phone numbers, they are not all compatible. This was done with the main purpose of trying to stop or at least prevent people from abusing the verified account system. In actual fact, only a very few kinds of phone numbers are supported. Classified officially supports landline and cell phones for phone verified accounts. While this sounds simple, there is more to it. Several cell phone providers are not compatible with Classified. Prepaid cell phone sims are the main culprit and do not work. The obvious reason for this being that Classified is aware people will purchase them just for the sole purpose of making and creating Phone Verified Classified Accounts. Furthermore, VOIP landlines will also not work. Again, the reason for this being that Classified believes it is much easier to get and change VOIP numbers just to create phone verified accounts. If you create your own phone verified accounts, make sure you use neither prepaid or VOIP lines to avoid any headache.
