Hi, posted a listing, still not approved yet but was also sent an email to change password. I did and all is well, but new to me and also wonder if classified got lost in the approval process.
 
You were approved in the marketplace August of ‘24.
 
I submitted a classified ad a few days ago and don’t see it yet. It said submitted for approval. Thank you
@Duke Dive Medicine flagged your ad as a possible scam. Then he left it hidden.

Reach out to him to get it approved, or resubmit it.
 
We have had numerous hacking attempts on some of our members. Their SB password is lifted off the Dark Web (usually bc it's the same as another dozen sites they frequent) and that stolen password is used to generate income from the ad.
A password change request forces the real owner to create a new one, and unless the hacker has ALSO hacked the user's email account, the PW change request eliminates them from the scam.
The volunteer Mods require a little time to evaluate whether this is a new sale offering uncommon to you, in which case that may prompt you to verify its really you posting the ad.
