and I haven't experienced any problems with them...until now.
I started selling brand new stuff I haven't used as well as preloved items when I realized that they've been taking up too much space in my small room. Most of them I'm too hesitant to actually throw away because I still haven't used them or they're still too pretty to be in the trash bin.
As I've mentioned, I didn't encounter any problems with them for a full 4 years and a few months after. The problem started just last week, when I was reposting a new ad.
An ad's life is around 7 days before OLX notifies you that it will be temporarily taken off their listings. It was fine before 'cause you just update your ad and the site'll do just that. When I updated my ad a few days ago, this happened:

This isn't true now, is it? |
and #2, PHP100? Seriously? That's way too much, I think. For people who earn as much as I do, it's way too much to ask. Plus, the reason why people like me go to sites like this is to sell our stuff online so we can earn extra income but how can we do that if we sell, say, a top for a hundred Pesos but the money we earn from it goes to OLX a number of posts from now? Balewala lang ang sale.
I've also been looking for venues where I can air my sentiments but couldn't find any e-mail address I can contact so I resorted to posting a tweet on my personal Twitter account, tagging them, but still haven't gotten any response.
Has anybody else experienced this, too, and did a person from the OLX team explain to you what's happening? Please share it in the comment section because I rely on my OLX account for additional income. I really need all the help I can get, fellow stay-at-home moms.
