Placing an ad on the internet involves balancing exposing your contact information with protecting your privacy. I understand that, and I try to avoid making those decisions for you. I do filter out email addresses from ads. I catch too much heat for scammers and spammers lifting those addresses and abusing them.

Phone numbers are a little different. I rarely get grief for an abused phone number, so I let it up to you as to whether to put that out there or not. When I do get grief over a phone number, it is usually because someone typo-ed a phone number and accidentally (rarely deliberately) put someone else’s phone number in their ad. Typically when this happens I have to remove the ads and lock down the account until I get it sorted out as to what happened.

Something else to think about is how people are going to contact you. I see ads that specify “no emails, no calls, text messages only”. That’s fine. That’s your business. However I know more people that don’t have text messaging than those who do. Admittedly I’m a little older. My younger brother goes into text-withdrawal if he is unable to text for 10 minutes. But think about the audience you are advertising to, if you tell people not to call you, it shouldn’t be too surprising if they don’t contact you at all.

Best wishes, and happy buying, selling, and trading!
