I have to share this review about us............

AbilityClassifieds.com The Only Site That Actually Works
I rate www.abilityclassifieds.com far more than five stars, mostly because every other site I tried deserves negative numbers.

Before discovering AbilityClassifieds.com, I wasted time, money, and possibly years off my lifespan advertising my wheelchair-accessible car on multiple overpriced, useless platforms. Some sites charged triple what AbilityClassifieds.com does, while the free sites delivered an endless parade of scammers and time-wasters asking the deeply philosophical question: “Is this still available?” Yes. Yes, it is. That’s why it’s listed. But thanks for your contribution.

The Scammy Site Hustle
I don’t understand these blood-sucking websites that demand money upfront just to let people see my ad, only to later hold my listing hostage, forcing me to pay again to actually get visibility. What did I pay for originally? A warm feeling inside? The privilege of getting ignored?

One site tried to convince me that paying another $30 would make my ad more visible. I asked, “Then what did I pay for before?” Their brilliant response: “You can pay $75 to have your ad first in the list for seven days.” Ah, yes, because obviously, I love throwing money at nothing.

The “Prestigious” Scam Inquiry
I did get one response, a scammer offering to buy my wheelchair-accessible vehicle as a college graduation present for his son. Naturally, he couldn’t call me because he lives in the Northern Territory, where, according to him, phones don’t exist. But he’s online, so, you know, priorities. Also, what kind of heartwarming graduation surprise is a modified disability vehicle? Imagine the excitement.

Why AbilityClassifieds.com is the Only Sensible Choice
Now, let’s talk about a site that actually works. AbilityClassifieds.com is affordable, lasts six months, and doesn’t play ransom games with your listing. If your price is a bit high, you can bump your ad to the top of the category for a few bucks, instead of selling your soul.

Most importantly, you can call a real human at AbilityClassifieds.com not some upsell-trained robot whose job is to convince you that spending more money will solve all life’s problems.

Bottom line? If you’re selling mobility or disability-related items, use AbilityClassifieds.com.. Otherwise, enjoy the ride on the Scammer Express, featuring empty wallets and fake buyers.

Beware: Facebook Password Scam Alert Dear Abilityclassifieds Community,

Allow me to regale you with a tale as old as scams: the ingenious and oh-so-predictable "click-this-link-and-hand-over-your-life" trick. Here's how these criminal masterminds execute their not-so-masterful plan:

Earlier today, I inquired about a power chair. What I received was a reply with a totally trustworthy link, urging me to "click the link" to see the item. Spoiler alert: this link led to a fake Facebook login page—crafted with all the finesse of a toddler wielding crayons—designed to steal your Facebook credentials.

If you dare to log in on this counterfeit page, congratulations! You've just handed over your username and password to scammers who will gleefully lock you out of your own account, take control of it, and use it to scam others. Lovely, right?

Rule #1: Never re-login to Facebook while you’re already logged in. Seriously, that’s a rookie mistake. Had I clicked, I’d now be starring in the "How to Get Scammed" handbook.

But wait—there’s more! Scammers have a reverse play too. If you’re selling an item on Facebook, Gumtree, or even good ol’ Abilityclassifieds, you may receive a message from a “buyer” (using the term very loosely). They’ll propose a trade involving an item of greater value with a cash bonus in your favor (how generous). To view this irresistible offer, they'll kindly provide a link and request you "re-login" to your account.

Click that link, and voilà—you’ve landed on yet another fake login page. Sign in there, and you might as well gift-wrap your credentials for the scammers while you’re at it. And yes, they’ll also lock you out of your account faster than you can say, "Where did my access go?"

Pro tip: Respond by saying you don’t do business via email. Better yet, insist on a phone call. Here’s a question to ponder: when you’re interested in buying something, don’t you call the seller immediately to make sure it doesn’t get sold? Exactly. Scammers, however, are oddly allergic to phone calls. Curious, isn’t it?

This scam isn’t just limited to Facebook; it’s used to steal banking passwords and access other vital accounts too. Bottom line: if a buyer or seller refuses to call, feel free to tell them to take a hike—and maybe trip on the way.

Stay safe, stay vigilant, and please share your own scam experiences. We’re all in this war against fraudsters together.

I just posted this on NDIS Participants Providers Australia's Post

I may as well ad this to what is going on, and this is a snippet
Where do I to begin with the masterpiece of red tape conjured up by the newly minted **Rover** (formerly known as RAWS), the Department of Infrastructure's very own innovation in making people's lives harder. About ten months ago, in a move that would make the Wolf of Wall Street proud, Rover decided to revoke all the model reports for wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Yes, you read that right—vehicles like the Toyota Voxy, Noah, Sienta, Ractis, and others were struck down in their prime. Why? Well, they apparently decided to listen to the sweet nothings whispered by self-serving conversion companies and their accomplices—greedy engineers who charge an arm, a leg, and probably your firstborn to certify these vehicles.
These entities have been lobbying their hearts out, spinning yarns about how Japanese purpose-built vehicles like those from Toyota and Nissan are *allegedly* unroadworthy and unsafe. You know, because multinational corporations like Toyota and Nissan clearly specialize in designing *substandard* death traps for their own citizens. The laughable claim? The wheelchair restraints in these vehicles aren't strong enough to secure a wheelchair during an accident. Never mind that these vehicles have been imported into Australia for over 15 years without a single incident to back up these outlandish assertions.
But wait, it gets better. Under this new regime, wheelchair restraints *must* be installed by certified engineers. Not your friendly neighbourhood qualified automotive engineer, mind you—no, only the chosen few certified by this cartel of profiteers can do the job. And let’s be clear, fitting wheelchair restraints is no more complex than installing a baby seat (which, by the way, licensed baby seat installers can do for a fraction of the cost). Oh, but apparently, in Australia, babies are more important than individuals with mobility challenges—because baby seats don't cost thousands of dollars to fit.
And don’t forget, these so-called service providers will insist you buy only one brand of wheelchair restraint. That’s right, one brand. Try showing up with your own restraint that meets the Australian/New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS 3696.19:2009), and they’ll flat-out refuse to install or certify it. They know people in need have no choice, so they exploit this vulnerability shamelessly.
Then there’s the vehicle debacle. Take the Toyota Ractis, for instance—a small car based on the Corolla platform. Its model report was revoked because *the roof is too low.* Even though the roof is raised slightly for wheelchair use! Sure, if you're a 6’5” adult, you probably won’t fit. But what about a child or someone under 1.54 meters? Nope, they’re out of luck because adapting a vehicle for specific use is apparently far too simple an idea for Rover to entertain.
Instead, Rover's solution seems to be forcing people to shell out $40,000 to $50,000 for a car that wasn’t originally designed as wheelchair-accessible, only to spend another $40,000 converting it. And let’s not forget the 18-month wait times for these Frankenstein vehicles. But hey, it’s fine—just bill the NDIS! And if the person in need doesn’t qualify for NDIS? Well, they can sit back and enjoy a hearty serving of bad luck.
Let’s not overlook Rover's pièce de résistance: the requirement that ramps on vehicles like the Ractis must be rated for 350 kilograms. Because, of course, if you weigh 350 kilograms, a compact car is *totally* the ideal mode of transportation. Heaven forbid they just slap on a “Do Not Exceed” sticker, like every other weight-bearing product out there.
And so, the cycle continues—forcing people to rely on expensive, jury-rigged conversions while purpose-built options from Japan, tested and engineered in high-tech factories, are deemed unworthy by "experts" working out of sheds. These are the same geniuses who make absurd claims about factory restraints being "weak and substandard," despite no evidence of failure. One such engineer even made a YouTube video to "prove" his point, showing a restraint pull through the chassis under extreme force—a scenario that would rip even a chain through the floor. But sure, let's believe his restraint brand would magically defy the laws of physics.
The real tragedy? While these self-proclaimed carers fleece the system and the NDIS bleeds money, people who desperately need wheelchair-accessible vehicles are left stranded. Loved ones lose the chance to improve their quality of life, all while this engineered monopoly thrives.
Its pretty ugly out there.

These are the things you have to deal with just being the Admin for 2 websites. I thought I might share my experience. Sure GoDaddy—the gift that keeps on giving. Last year, around this time, they kindly *gifted* me Microsoft 365 without my consent or even a polite heads-up. As the administrator of usabilityclassifieds.com and abilityclassifieds.com, I was blissfully unaware—until my emails decided to take an extended vacation. Two days passed, and the eerie silence hit me. No emails coming in, no emails going out. A digital ghost town. Then, BAM—the complaints from users started flooding in like a burst dam.
Naturally, I leapt into action. I tested emails, called my web developers (poor souls), and eventually dialled GoDaddy’s Philippine call centre, where customer service scripts go to die. The support rep informed me my email accounts had been *mysteriously deleted*. When I asked how, I was apparently a prime suspect. Me! The tech detective who barely has time to delete spam, let alone *all* my emails. Then, for plot twist number two, he accused my web developer—because clearly, working on a fixed contract to solve bugs means one would willingly *create* bugs for free.
His solution? “Just set up all new email accounts!” Easy, right? Except their brilliant new system had no facilities for catch-all or alias emails. For someone juggling two websites and a third business with over 14 email accounts, this felt like being told to replace a broken spaceship with an umbrella. My patience wore thin. I’d already lost two car dealer contracts, refunded private advertisers, and chewed through four days of SendGrid tests. It was chaos.
Determined to unravel this mess, I woke up super early (Sydney time) and called GoDaddy’s U.S. helpline. I reached their technical support team, who interrupted my explanation with: “Oh, we switched to Microsoft 365. If you want emails, you’ll need to buy individual accounts for $36 AUD per month per address. Also, catch-all accounts? Ancient history. You're welcome!” What choice did I have? I begrudgingly paid the ransom, created new emails, and waited the standard 24 hours for propagation.
Cue Act II: The emails went down AGAIN—five times, in fact. Each time, I had to delete, recreate, and sit in email purgatory for another 24 hours. Meanwhile, my staff were paid to twiddle their thumbs, and my business haemorrhaged ads and clients. Then came Act III: mysterious email rejections from DMARC and DKIM. Who are they? Oh, just email verification overlords ensuring domains are legit—not some cyberpunk scam.
Back to GoDaddy I went, where the response was always the same: “Sorry for your frustration.” I didn’t need their pity; I needed results. But their only solution was to delete and recreate email addresses and play the waiting game again. This went on for a week—my email stuck in a zombie state: alive in the U.S., dead in Oz.
I'd reached my limit. I started hunting for an Australian company to transfer my domains—someone close enough to confront face-to-face if they dared try the same circus. After wading through tech jargon and marketing fluff, I found a gem. The initial call was answered by a Texan, and let me tell you, my first question was, “Are you actually in Australia?” He assured me the company was local, even if his accent was not. He then passed me along to the CEO in Melbourne. The CEO, to my surprise, broke down the DMARC, DKIM, and other tech horrors in plain English. I understood every word—a rarity in the IT world.
Here I thought the solution would cost me my house and a kidney. Instead, the CEO said, “No charge. We’ll transfer your domains, set up your emails, and escape that toxic swamp of blacklisted shared hosting.” Within 24 hours, all was fixed. Total cost? $240 AUD upfront, then $169 AUD annually. A bargain for my sanity.
Naturally, I reached out to GoDaddy requesting a refund for the Microsoft 365 payments. Their legacy in the IT world? Greed and gouging. Their customer service strategy? Hire failed car salesmen to upsell you into oblivion. Bravo, GoDaddy, bravo.

Oh, where to start with this digital soap opera? Picture this: we decided to keep quiet about some *quirky little hiccups* with AbilityClassifieds.com—because, you know, stiff upper lip and all that. But as we pushed our site further into the online spotlight, the gremlins came out to play. Emails blacklisted? Check. People trying to contact us receiving those delightful rejection notifications? Oh, absolutely. We even called in our trusted web wizard multiple times and—brace yourself—*we even changed our server*.

Then, the pièce de resistance: Scam Adviser decided to throw a little shade, branding us as “possibly bogus.” (How kind of them!) Oddly enough, other scam checkers sang our praises. Turns out, Scam Adviser was inundated with emails from the same IP address, trash-talking us. Who on earth takes the time to play with someone else’s reputation? Unless there was self-serving gain. We reached out, they backpedalled faster than a cyclist on a hill and removed the bogus claim. Apologies were issued, and we were left scratching our heads.

But wait, there’s more! Mysterious messages also found their way to agencies like Dimarc and Dikim, questioning the legitimacy of our domain. Curious, no? It’s as if someone, somewhere, saw our growing success as a very inconvenient truth.

To those who’ve watched our struggles from afar, let’s clear the air: this isn’t your run-of-the-mill tech hiccup. It’s targeted sabotage—a calculated attempt to throw sand in the gears of AbilityClassifieds.com. We’re talking about folks (or businesses?) who, instead of bettering their own product, have decided that taking cheap shots at ours is the way forward. Charming, isn’t it?

But don’t worry, we’ve fought back. Enter the IT knights in shining Armor—local to Australia, no less. They didn’t speak in cryptic tech jargon or charge a king’s ransom. They just *fixed it* in Forty-eight hours, a couple hundred bucks, and voilà! Problem solved, website insulated, and hair-pulling reduced to a manageable level.

So, here’s the deal: if you’re curious about who these unsung IT heroes are, hop on our site, shoot us a message, and ask for “Manna or John”— Let’s chat. And while you’re at it, help us spread the word about AbilityClassifieds.com. The more people who know about us, the more our website helps people and the more we can show these shadowy saboteurs they’ve backed the wrong horse, and what Abilityclassifieds.com is about.

I wasn’t planning to write about this, but after seeing a glowing review, I couldn’t resist. Because, really, why should the villains have all the fun? 😉 please tell your friends about us.


CHECK THIS REVIEW WE RECIEVED
**A Game-Changer for Selling Specialist Items: AbilityClassifieds.com**

I had a frustrating and disheartening experience trying to sell my wheelchair restraints on many well-known advertising websites. All I got for my time and money were scammers and zero results. These platforms weren’t cheap to advertise on yet provided no tangible value. Trying to contact them was a nightmare—emails went unanswered or were met with automated replies suggesting I "promote my ad" for increased visibility. This left me wondering: didn’t I already pay for visibility? Getting real help from a human being seemed impossible, as all I got was the digital equivalent of "take a ticket and wait."

It became clear that sites like eBay and Gumtree aren’t designed for selling daily living items for the elderly or disabled. The audience for these specialist items just wasn’t there. I was ready to give up until a friend recommended, I try AbilityClassifieds.com. Sceptical but with nothing to lose, I gave it one last shot. Honestly, I thought, “Here we go again—more money down the drain.”

To my surprise, not even a day after posting my ad, I received several inquiries and sold two sets of wheelchair restraints almost immediately. It was such a relief! My product was priced competitively—more than half the price of other brands—but the key was finally reaching the right audience. AbilityClassifieds.com targeted people actively looking for these kinds of items.

Soon, I ran into another issue: I ran out of stock because demand was so high! Buyers were even willing to wait, so I paused my ad to reorder stock. To date, I’ve sold over 300 sets and orders keep coming in.

If you have anything for sale—wheelchair-accessible vehicles, scooters, lifters, or other items for the disabled or elderly—you won’t be disappointed with AbilityClassifieds.com. Here’s the bonus: you can actually speak to a human being if you have any issues! It’s such a rare and welcome change from the impersonal service on other platforms.

This website deserves a thousand stars for its amazing service and dedication to helping people find and sell specialized items. I’m genuinely shocked that more mainstream retailers haven’t caught on to how great this resource is. If you or anyone you know needs to sell disability-related items or support services, or even find a bargain, don’t hesitate to use AbilityClassifieds.com—they deserve every bit of business and support they get.

Most of the imported WelCabs have a problem at the moment. Most of the model reports have been revoked by "ROVER" meaning you cannot import or comply them at the moment. The Welcabs that have been complied before the revocation are ok and can be registered, Alright, let’s break it down: Nissan Cube Welcabs, being the brilliant Autech factory-built Welcab that it is, still has to jump through the hoops of Australian regulation. That means it needs approved wheelchair restraints installed and an engineer's certificate to keep the compliance gods happy. That’ll set you back about $3,500. Now, before you pull out your hair, let me tell you—there’s no real safety concern here. It’s a Nissan, built to exacting standards, designed from the ground up for this purpose, just like the Toyota factory purpose built Welcabs.

So, why all the fuss? Well, you can thank the delightful combo of parasitic engineers and car conversion companies who’ve lobbied the powers that be. They’ve waved the “safety” flag loud and proud—not out of genuine concern, but so they can sell you a $45k Cheap Korean car, hack it up with a reciprocating saw in their shed costing another $40-$50k, then they make you wait up to 18 months and then tell you, “Trust us, it’s better than Nissan and Toyota's purpose-built vehicles!” we built it in our shed, Yeah, right.

These Vultures despise imported Welcabs, can you guess why? Cha-ching! It’s all about the money. To really stick it to them, you’d need crash test data proving how well the wheelchair-capable parts of these vehicles perform. Fun fact: Toyota and Nissan have already done these tests because Japanese compliance rules are tougher than ours. But will they share this data with us? Nope. Accessing it is about as likely as finding a unicorn in your backyard.

I’ve half a mind to set up a GoFundMe to test a line-up of these vehicles, like the Toyota Noah, Voxy, Esquire, Sienta, and of course, the Nissan Cube. At $60,000 per car, though, it’s a pricey fight. And don’t even get me started on the car dealers. You’d think a self-serving bunch like them, knowing full well their customers need these vehicles, would band together and fund the tests. But no, they’d rather sit tight and hope someone else foots the bill.

Anyway, if you’ve made it this far, thanks for sticking around! There’s a lot more happening behind the scenes if anyone’s keen for the full story. let me know, oh, and just FYI Q’STRAINT is a top-tier wheelchair restraint system brand. But if you’re on a budget, don’t worry, other ISO-certified brands exist that deliver the same quality for about half the price.

This is about "ROVER" Government body that regulates the importation wheelchair accessible vehicles from Japan and all cars in general from overseas that are not Australian delivered. We are very interested in what you guys think about this post. The system was formerly known as “RAWS” and was supposed to transition to “ROVER” a year before COVID-19. However, the transition was completely mismanaged. Surprised? Even the new Rover website was a mess, full of broken links and bugs.

The Government extended “RAWS” for another year, to allow time for the repairs to the new Rover system. That's fair enough. Then COVID-19 kicked in and delayed the implementation of Rover even longer, leaving the import industry unregulated for nearly two and a half years. Inviting certain individuals to take advantage of this to make a quick buck, leading to heavily modified and unroadworthy vehicles being complied for use on Australian roads sight unseen. Junk, vehicles not so much dangerous, a car that keeps breaking down, warn out. It was more about the JDM collectable vehicles that did not match the model reports that RAWS approved. These operators should have told the importers to take their cars home and remove the modifications such as Turbo's and Blow off valves and modified suspension and so on, that did match the model report and did not meet the requirements of the Australian design rules. Then bring them back as a stock vehicle for the inspection to make sure they comply and are safe, that did not happen. A lot of mods could have been put back on and certified by a VSCCS mechanic after the vehicle was complied.

After two and a half years of no compliance investigators, they were finally employed by Rover. That was the information given to me by Rover. As a result, several compliance “workshops” were shut down. They certainly did deserve to be shut down. Unfortunately, Rover also targeted wheelchair-accessible vehicles, causing significant hardship for people who desperately need these vehicles. All the Welcab model reports were revoked with no notice to importers. And some other passenger vehicles. I have two vehicles in my workshop that I cannot have complied or deliver these vehicles to the people who desperately need them for their loved ones. We are still waiting for the new model reports to be processed, it’s been six months so far. This is not due to my negligence, as like others I have followed Rover’s protocols. I have been instrumental in importing the same vehicles since 2014 when I was a Dealer. Now I am a buyer’s agent. The Engineers I engage are working frantically on new model reports, but the process has been slow at the Rover end, with over six months already elapsed. What do they care? their wages are paid regardless. Dealers specializing in these vehicles have gone out of business or are facing liquidation and bankruptcy due to these delays. Dealers, Buyer's agents, and Private importers who had cars in transit from Japan are now stuck with vehicles they cannot comply. These importers followed the rules that Rover required, they were issued import approvals, the Rover website indicated clearly with no warnings that the vehicles were eligible to import and comply, even giving the contacts on the Rover website of the RAWs registered workshops that can comply the vehicle. They still call the engineering workshops "RAWs" to save confusion.
Rover did in fact revoke the model the model reports on many vehicles that were in transit with no notice from Rover to the importers.

Rover has revoked several other models, including the Suzuki Jimny, only to reinstate it after class action by Dealers were rumoured to be commenced. The reason given by Rover for the backflip was the imported Jimny has the same chassis as the Australian delivered Jimnys This raises questions about the engineers employed by Rover. New models with advanced safety technology have been revoked, really for no real reason while older models under the 25-year rule can still be imported without compliance just a roadworthy or blue slip. That 25-year rule makes sense. Revoking the same vehicle that is 25 years newer makes no sense at all.

Rover has finally reinstated the model report for the Toyota HiAce Welcab with conditions that include removing original restraints and using a very costly Q Restraints kit. This situation suggests impropriety or favouritism towards certain conversion companies. The cost of these kits is outrageous, inflated to the maximum that they think people will pay, but hey, they have no choice, the installation process is also simple. The kit must be purchased exclusively from only one business in QLD at a cost of $2,500.00 plus fitting. A set of Q restraints in the USA costs around $700.00 retail. The kit comprises of one set of the Q restraint brand for one wheelchair 4 bolts and four CNC cut small plates to cover the original restraint holes. You must not use other certified in compliance brand of restraints that are ISO certified and comply with the Australian standards, according to the rules from Rover. Q Restraints must only be used, thus forcing people to buy this kit from only one firm in QLD. Draw your own inference. Or invest in the Q restraint company. Someone is rubbing their hands together. All the other cars that will be reinstated hopefully soon, one would assume that this rule will apply to these vehicles as well. Our business retails restraints that are certified, and they retail the $799.00 per set. Is Ability Classifieds being self-serving?

The Minister responsible is the Hon Catherine King MP. Ms King. Surely this minister is being be kept in the dark and is oblivious to what Rover is doing. Rover is responsible for causing hardship for those in need of these at least 50% cheaper factory-built vehicles out of their reach. Exposing these people to greedy gougers who know that these people have no choice and take full advantage of that fact. People who need these types of vehicles and daily living items. These companies charge around $50,000.00 for a base model KIA and take to the vehicle with a reciprocating saw in a shed and charge more than $40,000.00 to convert the vehicle with a delivery time no less than 16 months and some. Who is paying for the conversions most of the time? NDIS is paying for the conversion that’s who! Most individuals can’t afford such outrageous prices.
One should ask which engineers are signing off on these conversions (Frankenstein) with the fuel tanks that are relocated to the side of the vehicle with no impact protection. Rover, we know that these companies are out of your jurisdiction. So, AIS where are you? (The AIS ensures that vehicles meet minimum safety standards through inspections conducted by authorized examiners)
I have been attacked by conversion companies with blatant mistruths told to prospective clients when I was a Dealer and still today as a buyer’s agent.
Would Toyota and Nissan on purpose build a car with untested restraints? Why aren’t these imported cars OEM? They are purpose built. It is plain common sense that these vehicles should be complied depending on each model as “limited use” meaning a guide on the use of such a vehicle.
Big person, little person, big chair small chair. head height and so on. Having said all this, we continue to wait for resolutions from Rover. Certain businesses do not want purpose-built wheelchair accessible vehicles that are luxurious and dignified and cost less than half the cost of a converted cheap family cars that were not built to be cut apart by a reciprocating saw in a shed. Please do not post if you are from a conversion company. I am sure in your sheds you guys build better cars than Toyota and Nissan, Anyway something is a miss,
