subject: Craigslist Pva - How To Easily Avoid Needing Craigslist Verified Accounts [print this page] Craigslist is a great site to advertise on if you have a product or service to sell. The problem is that Craigslist PVA are required to post in the Services and many other sections. This isn't a big problem if you only need to post on the website once a week, but for people who need to post ads on a daily basis it is a huge problem. CL verified accounts are Craigslist's way of trying to control or limit how often people post ads. If you advertise on the site, what is important is that you know what you can do to try and avoid needing PVA to post ads. Knowing this will allow you to post more ads without needing an unreasonable number of phone verified accounts.
Craigslist PVA can be costly and time consuming to obtain. So, the best thing is to know which areas require them. All of the services section requires PVA. If you want to post in the services then you will need to phone verify your accounts. There is nothing you can do about this. If you see products or guides being sold online that promise to show you how to bypass the need for PVA, they are not telling the whole story. The phone verification is coded into their system. Before you can even post an ad in services you are asked to phone verify. There is absolutely no way you can bypass this without using a valid US phone number. Any software or information that claims otherwise is probably just a trick or a scam. Even though you can't bypass verification in services, there are ways you can bypass it in other sections.
Every other area on Craigslist may require a PVA if you post too many ads. They watch your IP activity when you post ads. If they see you posting a lot of ads they will eventually soft block your IP. A soft block means that you can still post in the non-services section but you must phone verify. There isn't any way you can bypass a soft block, but what you can delay it from happening or avoid it all together. The first thing you need to do is to post with as many different IPs as possible. Using the same IP to post with will mean you'll be quickly blocked. Try and change your IP often. The second thing is to always clear your web browser cookies and cache. All user activity is logged in an attempt to find people posting multiple ads or using multiple accounts. These two simple tricks will help you to avoid needing PVA in the non-service sections.
Craigslist PVA are now a permanent feature at Craigslist in the services section. There isn't any other way anyone can post ads in Services without CL verified accounts. However, you can prolong not needing PVA in non-service sections by being smart. Don't post all your ads with the same IP. Be sure to rotate and change to a fresh IP where possible. Also be sure to clean your cookies stored by your web browser. These cookies contain information about your accounts and activity. Without any cookies Craigslist doesn't know or can't be 100% sure that you are the same person. These are two simple and easy tips to help you avoid needing CL PVA.
