Report a problem, report abuse, or appeal
How to report a bug in the app, report abuse by another member, or appeal a moderation decision — and what happens to each.
Updated October 3, 2026
Something in the app is broken
A bug is about Yard Snail itself: the map is blank, a listing won't publish, messages won't send, a page looks wrong. Send it as a support ticket and you'll get a reference number to follow.
- 1Open the contact form.
- 2Pick the category that fits — something's broken, account trouble, listing problem, plan and billing, or other.
- 3Describe what happened and what you expected.
- 4Add the page you were on, and a screenshot if there's something to see.
- 5Send. You'll see the reference number straight away.
Someone else's behaviour is the problem
Abuse, scams, harassment, a prohibited item, or a fake listing are handled by the moderation queue rather than the support queue — reports go to the content, so the context comes with them.
- 1Open the listing, item, shop, review, comment or message.
- 2Tap Report and choose the closest reason.
- 3Add a note if it helps, and send.
- 4Block the person as well if you don't want to hear from them again — the block control is on the same pages.
You are never identified to the person you reported. Scam and prohibited-item reports, and reports of an image posted without your consent, are looked at first.
Appealing a decision
If we removed something of yours, or limited your account, you can ask for it to be looked at again. A person reviews it — nothing is restored or removed automatically, and no account is ever closed by software alone.
- 1Open the contact form and choose the category that matches.
- 2Say that you are appealing, and give the reference or the listing link.
- 3Explain why you think the decision was wrong. New information is the most useful thing you can add.
- 4You'll get a reference number and a reply from a person.
For copyright specifically there is a formal route: a takedown hides material rather than destroying it, and the counter-notice process exists to reverse a mistake. That is on the DMCA policy page.
Being annoyed is fine, and it doesn't affect the outcome. Being specific does — a link, a date and a screenshot will always get further than a description alone.
Still stuck?
The contact form gives you a reference number, and a person reads every message.
