How to recover a deactivated ad on Closed

Question

Hello,

everything is in the title...

I couldn't renew my ad on Le Bon Coin and, since my computer crashed (the hard drive is dead), I've lost everything.

I would like to find it because it was well done and I put a lot of effort into writing it. And since my hard drive is dead, I won't be able to recreate it as well, and especially, it will be impossible for me to find all the components of that ad (it was for dog food, very technical with lots of comments...).

Thank you in advance to everyone.

Fred.

The links in the "renew your ad" emails are good for a while too; I just tested one from 2 months ago, that one for sure, everyone receives it!

Hello,
You might be able to find it in Google's cache.
Either you go to Advanced Search, type in some specific terms related to your ad and copy http://www.leboncoin.fr/ in the domain, or you directly type in Google:

SPECIFIC TERMS site:http://www.leboncoin.fr/

Then, if Google finds your ad, click on Cached, to the right of the link.
Google can be your best ally =^-^=

Thank you!!!  I'm tinkering with it, but it's not easy. I found it, but it's in miniature and blurry...  If you know how to push it further.   ;)  Thanks again!

Can you provide the link to your cached page? -- Google can be your best ally =^-^=

or this one?

It seems that Google didn't keep the announcement itself...  Maybe by contacting Le Bon Coin directly: https://assistance.leboncoin.info/hc/fr -- Google can be your best ally =^-^=

Yes, that's what I did, but they're not in a hurry to respond...   ;)

Hello! The post is old but it might help: I was about in the same situation, and while looking through my emails, I found a message from leboncoin saying "this ad does not comply with the dissemination rules...etc" and "To modify your ad, click on the link below"
I received this message because at that time I had reinserted my ad before it had been deleted (to renew it before its expiration and to bring it back to the front page)
The link is from three months ago, and even so, when I click on it, much to my delight, all my ad is well saved there, just need to do it!
In any case, leboncoin has a backup and by contacting them it should be possible to do something...

Hello

It's very simple in 2 steps

1 - Find the link to your ad. You will find it in an email sent by Le Bon Coin with the subject:
Your ad "YOUR_AD_TITLE" is online

2 - Paste this link after Google's cache search (yes, Google keeps everything):

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:leboncoin.fr/YOUR_AD_LINK

And you'll find your ad.
It's as simple as that.

Hello,

I know it's pointless given the date of the ad, but I'm sharing this for anyone who may have accidentally deleted the 'leboncoin' email notifying them of the end of the ad's publication:
Normally, we receive this email and have 3 days to reactivate it by clicking on the link included in that email.

Let's say we no longer have this email, how can we find the ad, provided it is still cached on Google? (so long as not too much time has passed between the end of publication and the search)

1-type simply keywords that characterize your ad into Google, the search includes cached pages! so you will be able to find the address of your ad!

2-don't click on the title of the found page, since the page has disappeared, but click on the small arrow to the right of the address below, and you will see 'cache' appear - and click -

3-in the cached page, you can of course select and copy the text of the ad, but if you also want to copy the photos, you will need to know their address in the cache: with Chrome, position yourself on the photo you want to save, right-click on it and click 'inspect element' then copy the highlighted line containing an address, paste it into a new Chrome tab and keep only from http:// to .jpg and hit enter: it will display on its own - you can then do a 'save image as'
Be careful, the image is marked with a LBC icon, but since it goes on LBC, it's not too serious... otherwise, edit the image.

NB: for the keywords, personally, I add a special keyword in the text of my ads like a simplified password, the search in leboncoin and Google with just this word lists all my ads.
for example, if my name is Dupont, I live in Paris, and I was born in 1980 duparis80 and I add at the end of all my ads:
"search duparis80 to find all my ads"
and there you go.

Hello, it seems that it no longer works with Google. Please follow the same approach but with Bing.
