Blocked for trying to post a ad

Hi everyone.

I tried to post a ad on behalf of a friend to try sell his PS3. So i typed out a long winded ad, all game names, PS3 size and so on, put my email address but in the ad i said to call him. I clicked the preview button, then noticed a spelling error (# not 3 in PS3) and then it said i had been blocked for violating their terms and conditions!

So let me get this straight... you can't advertise something on their site because thats against their conditions?

What i hate is that they just block you, no explanation or let alone any warning you are doing something wrong... they just block your ip. So I would like to warn people of this pathetic company and to try convince people to stop supporting them. This is actually the second time this has happened to me, last time was about 3 years ago, and when i contacted them the guy via email got extremely with me. Then i was blocked because i advertised a fixed xbox for sale, and a broken one and they said i was advertising the same item twice and thats that in their view.

Steer well clear of them, find proper alternatives!
