    Default Backpage Ad Posting - Ad keeps disappearing

    Hi,

    I've been on and off backpage for a few years, and always seemed to have issues, but I've just kinda learned to live with it.

    My ads seem to disappear after say 5-10 minutes after going live. Yes I know you have to upgrade it to get it to be seen, as the free ads don't do squat. I've paid for a feature ad before too, and same issue.

    My ads don't have revealing pictures, and the text is all clean. Not suggestive of anything. Once in a blue moon the ad stays up, and that's better because I get more calls and can be more selective to weed out clients I don't want.

    I've posted with an account, and without an account.

    Any ideas? This is seemingly frustrating to pay them, get the ad taken down for no reason, and then support is non existent. I've done some google searching and I'm not the only one.

    Thanks,
    Mandy

    It's happened to me until I've bought sponsored.
    For the free ads, I think the customers have to click a tab " view by date " and THEN they will see them but no one clicks that tab so buy a sponsored one and you'll be good.

    Yes, I dabbled with sponsored ads before. Sometimes even the sponsored ads come down too! Although I did have a little bit of luck posting a free ad, making sure it stays up, and then upgrading it to sponsor.

    However my friend did the same thing last night and hers did the good ol disappearing act. AAhhhhhh!!

    Pay for your ad and it'll stay up and visible.

    I pay for an ad every time. They just don't seem to like me. Sometimes it goes up for 10 minutes, sometimes it even doesn't go up at all after an upgrade. It boggles my mind. I know I'm not the only one because there are tons of complaints online about backpage taking down paid ads for no reason.

    Try logging in with a VPN under a new account and pay for the ad.

    Yep, they never respond. I have another friend, same thing. Do you all have backpage accounts that you log in with to post? Or just log in and use your email. Google search says same thing, they like taking down paid ads for no reason.

    Im confused if your posting with a email or not
    If your posting with a email, shot in the dark but make sure noone else has access to post/edit/delete your account ads.
    I have heard through the grapevine others have been hacked but more of others posting ads using your accts credit.
    Strange BP will not get back to you if your paying for your ads.

    Why are you not making your own account?

    It is also odd that in your first post you said you said you are 31 and male trying to be a driver or a strip club manager- and you have a blue ribbon...

    but now you are Mandy and an escort.

    Very odd.

    Your ads are being ghosted, comes from various reasons which I won't openly post.
    You need to research "ghosting" and find a method around it that works.
    vpn changing won't help, they run more sophisticated stuff to id you than that.

    Good luck and hope this helps
