subject: Craigslist Pva - Are Your Posting Habits Killing Your Verified Accounts? [print this page] If you have posted on Craigslist in the services section then there is a good chance that you have at least once experienced the problem of having your Craigslist PVA suspended and put on hold. This message is displayed when you try to login using your account and username. Craigslist frequently suspends accounts and is their solution, or an attempt at a solution, to control the amount of ads that users place on the classified site. Craigslist wants to try and stop spammers but they have also caught many legit users that have done nothing wrong yet still find their accounts a suspended. Can Craigslist verified accounts be brought back from that dead if you find they are put on hold? Is there anything you can do to solve the problem of PVA constantly being placed on hold?
The simple answer to anyone looking to revive suspended PVA on Craigslist is that it can't be done. Once an account is put on hold, it is dead. This literally means that you can kiss the account goodbye and should focus on using other accounts or getting more if you have run out. Contacting Craigslist will not resolve this issue. The account can not be accessed and you should just move on. The obvious answer would be to just use the phone number again and create a new account and phone verify it, right? Wrong. If an account goes on hold, the phone number you used to phone verify it also goes on hold. This means that when accounts are suspended, they are considered dead AND the phone number you used to verify it is also considered dead. If you try and re-use the phone number to phone verify a second account, you will see a message stating that the phone number is already in use and you will need to provide a different one.
The best thing you can do to save your Craigslist PVA is to avoid the issue of having accounts put on hold altogether. Just how can you avoid having accounts suspended? The solution is to be extra careful when posting with Craigslist verified accounts. Always remember that Craigslist monitors user activity. This means your IP, ad content, email address used and many other things are watched closely each time you login and out of the website. They do this to try and stop people abusing the site and posting inappropriate or an excess number of ads. If you are careful with how you use your Craigslist PVA, you will be able to greatly reduce the number of accounts that go on hold.
If you find any of your Craigslist PVA on hold, just let them go and move on. Either create some new ones or be sure to post much more carefully with your remaining accounts. You can greatly increase the life of your PVA on Craigslist by making sure you post with a unique IP, clear cookies and always use different ad content. These simple tricks will help you to prolong the life of your Craigslist verified accounts and avoid suspension problems.
