It happens to the best of us
No worries! The good news is that rejections are temporary and are easy to fix
Every time our system suspects a violation of Prohibited Content Policy, the listing is pulled aside for an inspection. You will receive a "Your Listing Was Rejected" email from us with some details about the violation and a link to Submit an Appeal.
It usually takes a few minutes for the listing to be reinstated after an appeal is submitted and reviewed.
Buying and Selling
-
Claz is a venue
-
Claz is a venue. Our mission is to provide a free marketplace for private sellers and buyers. We do our best to block fraudulent and illegal listings, however we don't pre-screen users and we're not directly involved in the transactions between buyers and sellers.
We encourage you to only deal with people that are local and that you can meet in person or to use an escrow service for your transactions. -
Contacting other users
-
You can use the
Send Message button to contact sellers. We will relay your inquiry to the person who posted the listing and will follow up with them to get the response.
-
Using Claz Messaging System
-
When discussing a deal, we recommend using built-in Claz Messaging System instead of contacting users directly via text or email they may specify in the listing's description because:
- It's private: we do not reveal your email address to the other user
- It's secure: our system automatically checks messages for spam and any indication of a potential fraudulent or suspicious behavior
- It's convenient: we keep you updated via the email, you can also track when the recipient has read your messages
- In case of unexpected situations, we can only provide assistance if the conversation occurred within the Claz Messaging System
Messages sent to the spam folder:
If a message ends up in your spam folder, it indicates that our system has a very high level of confidence that the other user is engaging in behavior that is considered fraudulent, illegal, abusive or suspicious. For your safety, we do not display these messages in your main inbox or send you notifications about them. However, we provide a spam folder where you can review these messages if needed. -
Safety tips
-
Avoid contacting someone outside the Claz messaging system. We provide messaging for a reason: it's safe and secure. When you use Claz messaging system, you never need to give out your email address or phone number.
We encourage you only deal with people that are local and that you can meet in person. Meet in person to complete a transaction. Busy public places like coffee shops are safe, convenient meeting spots.
The best way to complete a transaction is to exchange the item and pay at the same time.
Never transfer funds or use a debit card/check to pay someone in advance.
Make sure information on the condition of the item, price and payment method is clearly outlined and agreed upon prior to the meeting.
Before paying for something and completing the transaction, inspect the item and check that everything matches the seller's description.
Avoid certified/cashier checks and money orders !
Never wire funds and never give out personal information (i.e. social security number, bank account number).
When purchasing vehicles, always verify the vehicle identification number (VIN) and consult third party sources that can check the vehicle's history for theft, damage and identification.
