Sadly, I have had to close the Nappy Lady classified ads service, following repeated problems with only one or two sellers who appear to have been acting fraudulently. We do not have either the resources or wish to spend our time tracking down their new e-mail addresses and changes of IP address, by which methods they have previously continued to act. In addition, I no longer wish to be taken advantage of by other traders using our free ads rather than paying for their own advertising.

I do not envisage any change in this situation for the forseeable future. I apologise to the vast majority of buyers and sellers who found this a useful service.
