2024 Alert and Postponement for Sellers: Answer Publicly and Don't Just Say "Contact WhatsApp" We have recently noticed a recurring phenomenon from some advertisers (whether for real estate, cars, furniture, or others)... You ask them in the public replies for basic details or the price, and the direct response is: "Contact WhatsApp"! My dear brother, as long as you have posted your ad on a public platform, you are supposed to clarify the details and answer people's inquiries publicly, for several reasons: Transparency and Credibility: An explicit price and clear information remove doubt and prove the seller's seriousness. Time Saving: Answering one question publicly benefits hundreds of viewers instead of repeating the same questions privately and on WhatsApp. Avoiding Suspicion: Refraining from mentioning details or directing everyone to private messages opens the door to suspicion (price differences from person to person, or lack of seriousness in the offer). The platform was created to serve everyone clearly, so we hope every advertiser respects the buyer's time and answers inquiries directly in the ad replies.
