Craigslist NON PVA posting full update:
As you know, Craigslist is one of the most popular online classified ads platforms in the world. The website receives millions of visitors every day, making it a great place to sell items, promote services, or even find a job.
However, due to its popularity, Craigslist has become a target for scammers and spammers. To combat this problem, the website has implemented a number of measures, including requiring users to verify their email address with a unique code (known as a PVA code) before they can post an ad.
Unfortunately, this measure has not been completely effective, and there are still many scammers and spammer accounts on Craigslist. In fact, it is estimated that there are over 1 million fake accounts on the website.
If you are a legitimate user who wants to post an ad on Craigslist, you may have come across the problem of not being able to verify your email address with a PVA code. This can be frustrating, especially if you need to urgently post an ad.
In this article, we will provide a full update on the situation with Craigslist NON PVA posting for 2022. We will explain what PVA codes are, how they work, and why you may not be able to get one. We will also offer some alternative solutions that you can use to post your ad on Craigslist without a PVA code.
What are PVA codes?
PVA stands for “phone verified account.” A PVA code is a unique verification code that is sent to your phone number when you sign up for a new account on Craigslist. The code must be entered in order to verify your account and start using it.
Unfortunately, due to the way that Craigslist works, it is not possible to create more than one account per phone number. This means that if you have multiple ads that you want to post on the website (for example, if you are selling multiple items), you will need to use a different phone number for each account.
If you try to sign up for multiple accounts with the same phone number, you will only receive one verification code. As such, only one of your accounts will be verified and the others will remain unverified (and therefore unable to post ads).
This can be extremely frustrating for legitimate users who need to post more than one ad on Craigslist. It also provides an advantage for scammers and spammers who can easily generate multiple phone numbers (using online services or burner phones) in order to create multiple unverified accounts.
There are two main ways that scammers and spammers use unverified accounts on Craiglist: 1) they post fake ads in order to phish for personal information or defraud people; or 2) they spam other users with unwanted messages or advertisements. In either case, these activities create negative experiences for other Craiglist users and make it more difficult for legitimate users to find what they are looking for on the website.
As such, it is understandable why Craiglist would want to limit posting privileges to verified users only. However, as we will explain below, the current system is not perfect and there are ways that scammers and spammers can still exploit it.
