For car sales, they started charging to post. It's worked wonderfully and now most ads are from serious sellers with fully fleshed out posts and who are responsive.
- SoftTalker 2y agoTo me, this is the obvious answer. Posting an ad is clearly worth some small cost to a legitimate seller. For spammers, it's a much bigger impediment, and it also establishes a money trail to who they are.
- parpfish 2y agoMinor nit about their car postings: Old dudes need to learn that this isn’t a newspaper classified that limits characters. Don’t write “Pw/pl”, just write out power windows, power locks. Actually DESCRIBE things, don’t just give a phone number and no info
