I posted an ad per day, without secure payment.
No sales, but it might be the season and I still managed to have an ad removed following a report..
It’s clearly harassment, it’s beyond me…
And two new ads removed today following a report…
I haven’t even published any new ones since then.
No sales since then as I no longer offer delivery to avoid publishing and deleting too many ads.
However, I notice that it is a specific model that is now targeted.
3 or 4 other sellers also offer it on leboncoin, including one who has adopted the same approach for some time and no longer offers delivery on leboncoin, perhaps for the same reasons…
It should be noted that these different sellers are also all private accounts, so it’s a bit abusive…
I also notice that these other sellers strangely don’t seem to encounter this reporting problem…
Shouldn’t I send them a little message to find out exactly what’s going on?
This might help calm this relentless targeting?
What do you think?
I’m doing the same thing as them, it’s not a problem for them, but the reverse is not true.
I may have made a few more sales, but as you saw above, nothing extraordinary…
No reviews?
You think it wouldn’t be wise to contact them?
And it continues, another reported listing…
Of course, Mondial Relay delivery is €0.99 this weekend…
Except that the imbecile doing this doesn’t seem to have even seen that I hadn’t activated delivery!
Seriously, I can’t take it anymore!
Help!!!
What can I do??
What are my options?
Create another account, because he must have you in his favorites and every time you post an ad, that « bastard » must have fun.
Indeed, but the products are very easily identifiable so even with another account, he will recognize them and can start again, perhaps even more easily since this new account will have a zero trust score (no history, no reviews, no sales).
I had changed the photos and the text though.
And I don’t understand why his reports work so well; he has clearly targeted me, but how did he manage that? It can’t possibly be that easy, can it?
I rack my brain, but I feel like I’m tied hand and foot, I see no way out.
Should I contact these 3 or 4 competitors to see if they are experiencing the same problems, hoping that the culprit will feel exposed and stop?
Contact leboncoin? But what would I tell them?
Switch to a professional account? It would be pathetic if it cost me money and he could continue to sell as a private individual.
Can you remind us what types of products we are talking about?
I’m curious that the reports work so well.

Indeed, I don’t understand either.
And why only mine when 3 other accounts offer them on a specific model?
For which reason, for me it is necessarily one of these 3 accounts.
These are tools that allow taking measurements of the dimensions of brakes on vintage vehicles, thus optimizing and facilitating brake adjustment.
And the site reacts by deleting your ads…?

Did you contact them to ask if they were having fun reporting you, and by the way, to let them know you could play the same game with them?

That’s what I don’t understand, especially since they offer the same thing and only my ads are targeted.
That’s what I was asking higher up but I hadn’t had any feedback so I concluded that it wasn’t wise.
Afterwards, I would have rather innocently asked if he was suffering from the same problems.
More subtle and less in-your-face since I don’t know which of the three..
Afterwards, it might be all three and the reason why they manage to have my ads deleted so easily
As you verified if it was not ultimately the same entity? (The 3)
The 3 sellers?
No, that’s for sure, they are indeed different.
One no longer offers secure payment, maybe it suffered the same misfortune.
Another offers them at exorbitant prices.
And the third is a little more expensive than me and visibly sells little.
All three in different locations.

I am contacting them to ask if they are experiencing the same reporting issues?
Or do you see another, more suitable approach?
I would try. The question itself might lead the culprit to calm down.
The next step is, of course, to play the same game.

Report them?
With my account being targeted by leboncoin, not only do I fear they won’t take it into account, but could it also have consequences for me? Couldn’t leboncoin just see it as revenge?
I contacted three sellers, there would even be a fourth.
I’ll focus on a very specific product so you can get an idea, I’m offering it at €15.
- Another seller offers it at €20, he tells me it has never happened to him, discusses quite easily, asks me the reason for deletion, tells me that he doesn’t really know how to solve the problem, maybe recreate an account..
- Another seller offers it at €17, tells me it has happened to him before and he doesn’t know the reason, but leboncoin sends an email with the reason (which the first one knew, even though he told me it never happened to him). He encourages me not to let it go and that there is room for everyone on leboncoin. That it’s probably a jealous person and that his account has already been deleted.
- The third offers it at €50, he has connected since, of course weekend at €0.99 with Mondial Relay delivery, but has not come to my discussion thread and has therefore not given me any feedback.
The last one, I didn’t contact him, before I offered them, he was very expensive and lowered all the products we have in common, for this product he is now at €12.90. He no longer uses secure payment, he is very visible on Google (ebay, his website) and therefore only uses leboncoin as a shop window but perhaps because he has been the subject of the same reports.
On another lot of tools that we have in common, he was probably the only one to offer it. I put it on leboncoin for €55 and he lowered his lot to €52.90 when it was over €80.
What do you think?
Do you have any idea who the seller could be who is behind these reports?
Should I start publishing again as the second one encourages me (with or without delivery)?
Maybe he just wants my account to be deleted..
It’s hard to know who is truly honest and sincere…
