To keep scammers off Pet Rescue, some listings are checked by a person before they go live, usually within a day.
- Every sale listing (fee over $250) is checked.
- Listings that mention deposits, shipping, couriers, transport fees or unusual payments are held.
- So are listings that ask people to move to WhatsApp or Telegram, or that include a phone number or email.
- Photos already used in another listing, or a listing posted from outside New Zealand, are held.
- A new account listing a high-demand breed, or a puppy or kitten under 8 weeks old, is also checked.
Good to know
- While it’s being checked, your listing shows as Being checked under My listings.
- We’ll email you when it’s live. If we can’t approve it, we’ll email you too, and you can reply if you think it’s a mistake.
- Editing a live listing in a way that trips these checks puts it back for a quick check.
