Hello,
I am reiterating my request because after searching for hours on the internet, especially here on CCM, there is no solution to this problem. Many people in my situation have not resolved this issue, and it is annoying and frustrating not to know the origin of this anomaly. I can no longer post an ad on the LEBONCOIN site because when I validate it, it redirects me to the previous page, and there are plenty of people in this case. I copied my ad, same characters as identical ads, same photo, it works from external PCs (web point, taxiphone-teleboutique, or friends' PCs...), is there really no explanation for this??? Some have reformatted, others configured ad blockers, firewalls, as for me, I have tried EVERYTHING but nothing works!!! As you can see here: https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-19749735-impossible-depuis-mon-pc-pourquoi#p19751075
I was using Windows 7, I installed XP Pro SP3 on another partition, and it still doesn't work under XP. A freshly installed XP with IE 8 (all updates OK, net framework, codecs, etc...) still impossible to post an ad on leboncoin. I then installed a second browser "google-chrome," but nothing worked. Knowing that when I was using Windows 7, my default browser was Mozilla Firefox, it didn't work then either. I also installed Opera v.9, and it still didn't work. Basically, I have tried ALL possible and imaginable browsers, and it still doesn't work. I remind you that after installing each new browser, seeing that I could not post a sales ad on leboncoin.fr, I uninstalled it immediately and cleaned the registry with CCleaner. Before, I could sell my goods on leboncoin, but now it's impossible!!! Some clever people will tell me, "Well, change the site, post your ad elsewhere." I respond that leboncoin is my preferred site, the best one where I have had the most results and where I have always completed my sales very quickly compared to my same ads posted on other sites... WHY is it impossible for me to post a sales ad on this Leboncoin.fr, impossible to validate the ad!!!
Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

I posted a few ads, and then all of a sudden, it became impossible to revalidate them; I was stuck like you on the validation page.
I tried all the web browsers and even another PC at home, same issue.
Since people say that reformatting doesn’t help and that sometimes it works for a neighbor or a friend, I thought they must be filtering based on the ISP's IP address.
So I tried a TOR proxy: same problem. Not surprising since others have already tried, and this IP has probably already been blacklisted.
Then I tried using Wi-Fi on a 'FreeWifi' network. Bingo! It works! Since I have never posted an ad using my FreeWifi (which has a different external IP address from my ADSL), it went through!
Conclusion:
- Leboncoin visibly limits the number of postings per IP address (unless of course you activate a paid option ;-) )
- To bypass the block, you need to use an external Wi-Fi network or maybe a smartphone on 3G.
- Those who don’t have the problem have a dynamic IP address (the ISP changes the ADSL IP every day)
- Fortunately, ads on eBay are also free, and that works every time :-)

Small clarification: leboncoin then sends a link to validate the ad via email. Of course, if you click on the link from the usual PC, you end up on a strange error page. However, if I validate it from my 'freewifi', everything works. This confirms that there is filtering by IP!

Hi Lulu, and thanks for your reply, even though 2010 is quite a while ago... but better late than never. Regarding the email validation and the entire ad validation protocol on Leboncoin, I know the procedure on the site very very very very well since I've sold a motorcycle, a car, and numerous other items there; I've posted hundreds of ads... Today, my problem is resolved; everything has improved since I migrated to the Freebox V6 Revolution. There was a blockage on the old version of my FREE V5 box, I don't know what it was, but since I installed the new FREE, it works flawlessly from the first try, no more issues with posting ads on Leboncoin... See you and have a nice Sunday ;-)
