    Default Backpage is free now.

    So I went to post my ad tonight...and it was FREE! At first I thought this was a good thing, but then I realized that I wasn't getting as many responses because there are like already a gazillion girls ahead of me and it has been 30 minutes. But yeah, back page is FREE!!!

    where are you posting that it's free. It's still asking for payment when I go on there.

    Just saw the email this morning. They stated "


    We understand some users have had difficulty posting over the last few days.

    Sign up for a free Backpage account & enjoy posting free ads until the payment issues are resolved.



    Thank you for being part of our site.

    Best,

    Backpage.com

    I thought it was a hoax but it appears to be correct.

    Regional boards need to be a thing now. BP has had its day in the sun. By the time I retired I was very wary of business I got from BP.

    From what I understand, they are trying to get an international merchant account set up. If they don't have V/MC, it will kill their business, as so many people are clueless about bitcoins.

    Okay I was finally able to post! WooHoo! It has to be a new post each time, it seems. I've had good steady business from BP. I've tried others but they are not the same. Whatever they do I hope it's not too complicated. I read a little on the Bitcoin and it moves up and down as far as how many Bitcoins you can buy each day. It's really something you have to keep up with.

    Thumbs up Re: Backpage is free now.

    You can also move your ad up, like, once a day I think. I created multiple ads since it's free right now so I can keep bumping em up to the top. May as well take advantage of this while it's free!!!

    backpage, in DFW at least, is now offering the option of sending in cash of a money order to pay for credits. does this seem plausible or bogus?

    It's legit. They've always accepted money orders. I wrote them two days ago regarding payment options and besides bitcoins, they wrote this to me:

    If you are posting in the United States and would like to send us a money order you can send it to the following address. PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE EMAIL ADDRESS for your backpage account with the money order. There is a minimum of $50.00 when sending a money order. We can only accept up to $2,000.00 per user account per day.

    Backpage.com
    User Account Manager
    P.O. Box 192307
    Dallas, Texas 75219

    BTW... it looks like the free ads may not last very much longer. I went to the page where you fund your account on Backpage, and it looks like they have a new processor that is in Amsterdam! I can see trying to use my credit card and the charge showing up as coming from Amsterdam! My credit card company would flag that so fast and be calling me thinking it was fraudulent! If I decide to fund my account that way, I will have to warn my credit card company in advance of the international charge!

    Default Any other options than BitCoin for BP?

    Old thread, but search didn't turn up any other info. Are there any other choices? (Asking for a friend that advertises.) Buying $50 bitcoin seems to 'loose' $8. What is everyone else doing these days?

    BP been free for awhile now. Bumping is free too? I don't think that's true. It always requests funds to bump so I just start a new ad everytime.

    I never get much but timewasters from BP. For body rubs its decent but not escorting

    Is free to post but must pay 2 move ad on top of list
    No need to mess w Bitcoin or money order

    U can fund account thru http://postfastr.com . Postfastr accepts credit cards and u can login w ur backpage account name and password

    Postfastr is their twin website some sort of hidden identity so they can keep using CCs

    Backpage is different depending on which area you live in. In some areas, if you do not pay money via bitcoin, they will put your ad somewhere where no one will see it. In other areas, they seem to post free ads normally.

    Interesting. However, when I go to postfastr site, the dating and adult section are conveniently missing. Hmmm? Maybe it's hidden within the site somewhere or they purposely removed those sections.

    I noticed that the dating & adult categories were missing too, but I could still see all of my ads under my account when I logged in with my bp info. I added funds, and it showed up on my backpage account immediately. So glad this is an option. I hate fucking with money orders.

    Postfastr does NOT have the adult entertainment section
    That is WHY you can fund account w credit card.

    Bakpage Account and postfastr account have the SAME username AND the SAME password !

    So what you do is log in postfastr.com FUND ACCOUNT W CREDIT CARD
    then go to backpage.com log in with exact same details AND you will see when you go to pay for ad upgrade
    that it will give u the option to PAY WITH CREDITS ( that u previously funded thru postfastr)
