Craigslist E-mail change acceptable?

I have accounts that no longer work. They all get ghosted. 1 or 2 may slip in per day, but they quickly get flagged. I tried 2 more accounts that's been inactive for over a year that work so far. I was wondering if I changed a flagged account's email to something else using a different ip, would that be aneffective way to evade my ghosting issue?

    From my understanding you need a different phone number for verification. If its that much trouble to keep a ad up don't you think its time to find a more reliable traffic generation strategy?

      I don't know any other sites I can use. I've tried backpages, kijiji, oodle, olx, pennysaver, recycler, etc... Only CL draws customers.

    Ok, I can understand that. There are courses that have been released to help you solve that issue. You have to buy the courses and you will have to purchase phone numbers and possibly have others create your ads for the ip issues. Check into Google for a solution. The affiliates will receive the commission for reviewing the product for you...

    Are you posting in the jobs section? That's the tough one.

      I post in General for sale. I used to post on both Small biz ads under services and General, but maybe in the past 6 months, small biz ads get ghosted. Just recently since the new year have I been having terrible ghosting issues everywhere.

      I've been using CL since 2006 and there's always been pockets of heavy ghosting and flagging, but the longest stretch was probably about a month. Now it's been like 3 months and still no ads live.

        I post in the jobs section every day without getting ghosted. You must write good ads and then have a working system to avoid ghosting. Your
        ip must match the location you are trying to post in. Also your phone area code must match the location as well. I have developed a system that solves these problems. See my signature.
