Lego_Monsters Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I listed a bunch of Legos in one listing post on craigslist but it keeps getting flagged for removal. Pretty sure it's not the general public flagging it because it gets removed within a few hours, more likely automated but why? My title is "Hundreds of Lego sets - $10" and the body is just a list of sets and prices and quantities. My body is "Prices are firm, non-negotiable. Cash only.All sets are brand new in sealed boxes unless mentioned otherwise..Pickup location in (City, State, Zip code) at (Store name) parking lot.Set# / Set Name / Price / Quantity21103 - The DeLorean time machine - $100 - 10xetc..."

ISO8T0 Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 700 listings is a lot. (But you might be in/near a big city) Could be competition falsely flagging you.Have you tried contacting Craigslist? Quote

Have you tried contacting Craigslist? As a frame of reference, I live in the Columbus, *** area. Within say 90 miles of Columbus, *** - Fort Benning,*** - Auburn, AL I came up with 4 LEGO listings. There are several hundred thousand people living in this area. Even if I expand out to include both Birmingham, AL and Atlanta, *** I am only getting 235 LEGO listings. Quote
Val-E Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 The listing title is clickbait and misleading - I´d guess that´s why. 5 Quote

Phil B Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I'd go with "LEGO Sets - Starting at $10" or "LEGO Sets - $10+" 1 Quote

Alpinemaps Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 The listing title is clickbait and misleading - I´d guess that´s why.I think that's the best reason why it's getting flagged. Could be a competitor doing it. But no one likes a misleading title. 3 Quote
