I tried to sell a series of furniture and other items through Dubizzle, My account got blocked 3 times in a mater of hours, when contacted, Customer Service (they did replied fairly soon, I should clarify), I was told the title I used on my ads was automatically raising a flag on their filters, therefore automatically blocking the account:
The reply I received was: Your account and one of your ads have been mistakenly identified by our system as commercial because the title of one of your ad contains word which is similar with those ads that are being posted by commercial spammers.
Three times I tried to modify or remove the manufacturer name from the title, but the account got blocked again and again and again... disappointment and frustration was big (I have lost half my Saturday on this). I do understand now how spammers and fake vendors have appropriated Dubizzle, and how is not useful for legitimate users like me. Thinking about their automatic filters, and on a second look, I fell I have done nothing wrong; if the problem is generated for the name of the manufacturer of the product appearing on the tittle, then the battle for a legitimate seller like me is lost. How could anybody try to sell any product without the name of the brand in the tittle? They must be kidding... Is it that you are require to pay extra money for affair service? If so, they should have been more explicit ( indicate on their your instruction to post ads), and save time for people like me, who only want to sell between individuals with efficiency... May be I shall have used the sell quick, or sell faster option (or whatever is called) they offer (for a fee I assume).
