chicamysterious Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Anyone know how to contact the people running the site. I dont do facebook but i created my page and requested access almost a month ago and still haven't been approved. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I didn't know they linked to other personal pages. I thought it was just for one-off postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 You have to join facebook to even see the listings. I did and applied for "application" to be able to see the listings. Unfortunately, nobody responds and I never was able to see the listings of stuff available. I gave up. NOT very customer friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 One of the things group moderators do is weed out bots and fake accounts. If you newly created a page and it includes little to identify you as a real person your request may have been deleted. This is a guess on my part.

ComputerGuy Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I gave up on this page anyway. Several reasons, but one main one was the constant barrage of notifications on my own page every day. I turned that off and discovered I never missed it. There are SO many gringo groups for lakeside now, on FaceBook. Far too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 With almost 7,000 members the site has become large and unwieldy. They may have stopped admitting new members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I can see that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeborahM Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 You definitely need to be on Facebook to join. I really LIKE the page, and have bought and sold MANY items there.You could pm the admins through Facebook...Michael and/or Lorraine Kulig. Good luck!

It's a VERY popular page...not large and unwieldly at all...and they are definitely still accepting new members...it's a GREAT resource for buying and selling Lakeside.

conejorapido Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 What DeborahM said. We've bought and sold very successfully on the site including two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicamysterious Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well I guess they have enough potential purchasers to not allow others to join. Maybe when people start not selling their items they will open up. I assume sellers are listing elsewhere also. Maybe if they had an application process instead of just a click request. Send a questionnaire with requests. Anybody know of other sites? I dont think they delete the request because I cannot request again so i assume it's still active.

sem123 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 they do weed out "fake accounts" so if you haven't used your facebook page much, have no friends, etc. or don't seem to have any relationship to the Lakeside area they may not accept you. I recommend that you post a couple of photos of Lakeside only to your friends (even if you only have a couple). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, to join this group, I have one. Nothing on it because I'm not interested. If this is their method of "selling" then I'm not interested in the group. Which is fine because I never heard back from them... not even a courteous "no thank you because you don't have a loaded facebook page". It's ignorant and rude. Plus, there are more than enough bazaars and house sales to have furnished my house. Didn't miss a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I did create one was to see beg and barter but thanks for the advice. Someone forwarded me the latest offerings and I guess notices??? its not what I am looking for. I am looking for household items, furniture, a Car and Scooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwynne Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 "Things" come and go very quickly. During our remodel I sold several large heavy items using that site. The last one sold within 15 minutes of listing and two BIG guys and a truck came and picked it up the next day. Can't beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
