Yeah, for a while I would flag any listing I felt violated the ToS. but I started to notice that THE SAME LISTING would come up shortly (if any action was taken on the initial listing to begin with). I'm not going to bother wasting my energy trying to flag listings when CL isn't doing their part to _learn_ and improve their detection of blatantly-obvious fraud or ToS violations. I mean I'm talking like blatant keyword spam (which is against ToS) that's even prefaced by "Keywords:", the same listing made in every possible nearby jurisdiction, stuff like that. It's so obvious and and easy to detect. The worst are car ads. You search for a really specific model, of a specific year, and somehow you get like 500+ results. Because every car listing is just a wall of keyword spam, of completely unrelated makes/models. Cool.

- dvzk 4y agoThat's the buyer's perspective of flagging. The other side is having your listings deleted because they compete with another product or violate people's incorrect expectations. If people think it's a fake, and it's not, or if it is rule bound to a category, but people aren't used to seeing it there, it gets flagged and removed. There is no one to appeal to, and sellers aren't told why their listings are removed. As someone who sells high-end stuff occasionally on the side, I would rather deal with Ebay or Facebook.
