Ads going missing on Gumtree?

[airborne]

Has anyone else had experiences with ads you've posted on Gumtree disappearing?

I've tried posting an ad since last night and it'll get posted and show under my Gumtree profile, I'll receieve the "ad is live"/activation email and then a few minutes later the ad disappears. It's an innocuos ad for an action camera, no naughty words or anything unusual and my Gumtree profile is almost 8yrs old so it's no fly by night profile.

I think the reason my ads are being deleted is because I'm posting an ad in a location far away from the address my IP address would show me as being at. I'm off to Capetown at the end of the week and want to post the ad there but I'm in the garden route at the moment.

Anyone else found the above to be the case?

Nope, can't still can't post an ad even in a nearby suburb, aggafok

Check your Gmail if they're being marked as against the rules like a replica watch, gun or child for example.

you sure there's no accidental naughty words? Like when someone is selling shoGUN knives, or a BOMBbastic printed tshirt?
anything from esSEX is probably verboten.

No definitely not, unless the words Dji and Osmo are illegal words.

Fark me, I can post a test ad with something totally innocuous and it'll get activated/go live, I can even reply to the ad and the message will come through but a minute or 2 later the ad is removed.

There must be some kind of Bot or AI that's glitching and flagging my profile so every ad gets removed no matter what is in it.

This makes the mess that is Facebook marketplace look like a walk in the park..
