I don't know but that would be an easy fix: 2 CC with 2 PVA.


The easiest way to lock it down would be by VIN like Autotrader, Cars, etc do. One problem with that is that I can spend $500/month, add your (competitor) VIN's to CL system with my cars, and that way I block you from posting! Remember when Autotrader keep VINs in memory fir 30 days so if you did dealer traded a used car it wouldn't show on Autotarder's website? This is more complicated--meaning needs a lot more development--than what CL has.


I don't think they have thought all the kinks through nor I think that have much experience with our industry's quirks. As smart as they may be as database programers a fully functional inventory advertising system took a few years to perfect for Chip Perry.


Remember that the purpose of this is to crack down on spam... not. The purpose is to crack down on VOLUME which was dragging too many resources in their system, taking too much support, database clean up, etc. I think you will still be able to post in 2 areas if you live in one of those places where you have 2 major cities around you, for as long as you pay the new fee.
