Ahh you said post, not ad..... Its been sometime since I posted any ads but I am pretty sure you should be able to edit the ad. You might want to send an email to [email protected] detailing your issue.

I just checked and the only ads that exist for you are from 3 years ago.....None of them are for a Q4

Submitted Classified ad pictures 90 degrees tilted

Demetry

You need to open them in an image editor and then save them even if they appear to be correctly oriented in the editor. Then upload them to the site. I dont know the exact technical explanation but the EXIF info in the image data is not right. Editing and saving them will fix it.

ASTROMART PENALIZES USERS WHO SELL ITEMS AND FORCES THEM INTO DEALER ACCOUNTS AND DELETES THEIR RATINGS

But Nice way to treat me though , I really appreciate being accused and penalized over OTHERS opinions NOR WAS IT 30 ADS

I dont imagine Herb will discuss it further..... but perhaps you missed this section of the TOS. I cant say if it was actually 30 ads in a day but if you review this from the TOS was it over 35 ads in a 6 month period? I am guessing it was.....and if it was then per the TOS you did violate the terms of service per the highlighted section (d) below and were reclassified as a dealer. 

16.4. Distinguishing A Dealer. You are a “Dealer” for purposes of sponsorship requirements if any one of the following descriptions applies to you:

(a) You sell astronomy equipment with the intent to make a profit; whether you actually make a profit or not.
(b) You include in your listing a URL to a web site that sells astronomy equipment with the intent to make a profit, regardless of whether you are the owner of the web site or whether the web site actually makes a profit.
(c) You have multiple active advertisements posted for the same item at one time.
(d) Your account has more than 35 advertisements posted during any 6-month period.
(e) Your account has 10 or more ads in a one-year period for the same product.

16.5. "Dealer" Determination. Astromart will make the final determination, in its sole discretion, as to whether you are a Dealer/Retailer or an ATM/OEM.

It seems vindictive , extreme and unnecessary   

Has been the policy as long as I can remember that those categorized as dealers do not have the feedback option, dealers cant give or recieve feedback so that would explain why those are no longer there. I have no idea regarding the prior ads.

It is true about "dealers"..... I assumed you were reclassified as a dealer. I see now you are in the blue list instead of the dealer list. Given that I am not sure why your feedback was removed, perhaps a mistake. Regardless given how many ads you seem to post it wont take long to build it back up.

Agree or not, it is true

Posted By Greg Shaffer

We have reached a history milestone.....

All you have to do is say "he is an idiot" and 90% of the world knows exactly who you are talking about.

Like I said....whether you agree with the assertion or not, you still know who it means. smile
