mediolana Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Dear Fiverr community,We tried posting a digital marketing > local listings project a few minutes ago, but for some reason our project has been unapproved and we received a Terms of Service violation notice! We have no idea why this has happened: our project related to the posting of ads for an educational product on Craigslist (11 cities around the world).Can anyone help us out here?With very best wishes/Mediolana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubittaudio Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 What kind of educational product were you advertising? This could be the issue, as even the mention of academia or education will usually trigger Customer Support to get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought everyone could only place Craigslist ads where they are physically located. If it is then fiverr wouldn’t allow it. Fiverr doesn’t allow gigs that violate the TOS of other websites.For example the reason you couldn’t do that is because you don’t have locations and phone numbers in eleven cities around the world. So Craigslist wouldn’t allow it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We presumed that there would be a legitimate way of posting on multiple Craigslist sites – maybe via freelancers or companies that did have registered offices across a number of different markets.We’ll be sure to post a compliant ad in the future.Many thanks once again!With very best wishes/Mediolana 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
