We know it’s frustrating when your listing doesn’t go live—especially after putting in the effort. If your ad was declined, it usually means the bike doesn’t meet our marketplace standards or needs a few adjustments.
At buycycle, we focus on high-performance sports bikes like road, gravel, mountain, and triathlon bikes. We don’t support the following types:
- BMX
- City or urban bikes
- Touring or cargo bikes
- Folding bikes
- Trikes or tandems
- DIY e-bike conversions
Why listings get declined
Some common reasons your ad might be rejected:
- The bike isn’t a sports bike
- The bike appears to be a replica or counterfeit
- Important details are missing or incorrect
- There’s visible damage that makes the bike unsafe to ride
- The photos are unreadable, missing, or too low-quality
- Screenshots or stock images were used
- The full bike isn’t visible in the images
- The same bike was listed more than once
