Just want to share my personal experience, and ask if anyone had similar issue.

I am (kinda desperately) trying to escape this third part of the world. (My first is my homeland, second is country where I settled, and PR is truly the third world to me for many consistently appearing issues with its dysfunctionality). (Sorry to all "positivity" critique experts, that's my personal experience lasting years, and I am entitled to freely express it. That you are happy with this? Awesome, happy for you! (There people who are happy in Indian slum. To all what is their happiness) But revelation: I don't have to be, and im not; so please obstain from your unsolicited critique of me not sharing your view. I know, I know, you start the process of kicking me out like you did it with the Colombian guy for saying facts how it is here with employment, the atmosphere and such..)

So, Im trying to give away or sell my possessions so I can flee from here. I open classified (after seeing cute puppy pictures, someone trying to sell puppies for 500$, and someone looking for rent, I placed my add in Vehicles section, trying to sell car this model, this year, this shape, this price.

Add was denied after review as not complying.. in email..no more explanation.
Just when I log back in here, I find out...its due to comercial nature of add...
Whoa I thought that in add section dedicated for sale of vehicles... that's what would be expected. My bad.
Not that the add would do anything, its pretty haunted here anyway.

Last glimpse on lovely noncommercial puppies for 500$ add...

Selling Mazda 3, 2011, technically in excellent condition. Help your comrade flee the island.

Dear Sova,

Your classified, Selling Mazda 3 2011, technically in excellent condition, doesn't fit expat.com's policy. I regret we can't accept it in our Classifieds section.

Best regards,

Victoria

I also think that the censorship at expat.com is extreme. It really doesn't allow any posts that might negatively affect profitability of different stakeholders of a country. Not only PR. It looks like it is the same policy for other countries too.

How else people would judge a particular country? Is it the best fit for them? We know how a salesperson can lie into your face just in order to sell, right? We need objectivity from forums. Bad and good opinions should be welcomed.

I moved around from country to country trying to find a better fit. After living in one country for sometime, I expressed my opinion on this forum that houses in there are moldy and I explained why and how to fight it. I was banned out of this forum! Just unbelievable censorship!

Thanks for clasificado tip. (Let me remind you that car is 2011, has marbete and 94.000 miles, is in great technical condition, paint is pealing ..) That's where I originally started.. and after (you know locals mentality already) bunch of messages:
"Wanna buy for 2.000$"

"Will buy for 3.000$"

Another:
"How much"
3.800.
How much lowest

Another:
"Pictures"

One actually answered with "Hi, my name is... I saw your ad at... " ... Considering the manners - bets were it is not Puerto Rican...

Anyway. Car is gone.
Went to neighbor.

But 🤦🏻‍♀️ only in Puerto Rico....as she is waiting for new DL license (won't get that in next 4 months) I told her she won't be able to get car transfered...
So she wanted her brother get the car.
We went to abogada licenciada for transfer, where I was shocked she said its not a problem lady doesn't have a license... I was like ok... Never mind me, PR is the only place where one can own a car without DL...

Anyway running out of island... happy Im free if this....(beep) fill in blanks according your palate.

...i just had visit... Neighbor went to Cesco to finish the car transfer...and was told that nope - she doesn't have the Drivers license...

Have to go to "abogada"... And pray this ....mess gets straighten...

I openly yell everyone avoid this "place that's not the third world".
