    Why was my ad marked as a scam

    We use a number of criteria to determine whether we mark an ad as a SCAM or not. If you believe your ad was unjustly flagged, please send an email to [email protected] and include the following information:
    Your USPA (or other licensing organization) number.
    How long you've been jumping, how many jumps you've done, the name of your home DZ.
    The name of your DZO or Instructor, and his/her contact info.
    When and who did you buy this gear from?
    Your phone number. We apologize in advance it your ad was wrongly identified as a scam. We are very serious about the security of our users and the integrity of our Classifieds, and prefer to err on the side of caution. Thank you for understanding.

    My item didn't sell. Can I renew my ad

    You can renew your ad up to 3 times for an additional 30 or 60 days without retyping the ad. To Renew your ad simple click on "manage my Ads" Select the ad you wish to renew. Select a new term and submit the ad again. Once you've renewed the ad 3 times you will need to submit a new ad if your item is still not sold.

    Minimum Days Registered Requirement

    As part of our efforts to fight scams in the Classified section we have instituted a policy that requires users to be registered for a minimum of 3 days before you can either post an ad or contact a seller.
    If you can not see the contact information for an advertiser then you have not been registered for the minimum number of days required.
    This feature is simply designed to place an obstacle in the way of creating a quick username and spamming everyone in the classifieds or posting an ad ripped from EBay on the same day.
    We apologize to skydivers who are simply trying to list their gear or get in touch with a seller. We trust that you'll be back in a few days and wish you the best of luck with your dealings.

    Featured Ad Listing

    While we offer a free listing service in our classifieds, we realize that some times you need to make a sale urgently and ideally you'd like to see your ad viewed by as many people as possible. This is why we have created our 'featured ad' option.
    You are now able to have your classified ad shown prominently on both the classifieds main landing page, as well as at the top of the category page it is submitted to. Furthermore, buyers will feel more comfortable in responding to featured ads because of the decreased risk of the seller being a scammer.
    We are dedicated to providing our paid link users with the best possible exposure for their ads.
    Payment can be made securely through paypal.
    To feature your ad, simply go through the process of adding a new classified ad and submitting. When your ad is submitted, you will be prompted as to whether or not you'd like to pay for the link, the payment amounts are then listed. You are then able to decide which payment option you'd prefer, select that option and then proceed with the link submission.
    Featured Ads Receive:

    Prominent placement on the classifieds main page.
    Priority listing at the top of the category page it is submitted to.
    'Stickied' position at the top of the regular listings on the classifieds page.
