Any legit ad is flagged on some technicality and the rest are all spammer scammers. Don't waste your time. Even posting using only the relay leaves your phone number getting bombed with spam calls. I get up to 30 scammer calls a day after I post on CL. Dump this site for good. Its yesterday years news. Washed up.

I've checked over every possible reason why my posting is getting flagged, and they're is nothing wrong with my posting. So I can't advertise on here without being flagged, so 1 star until or if this gets resolved. There's multiple posts like mine out there for weeks and they're not getting flagged! In the images below on the left is my post that is not viewable vs the post on the right that are the same as my post but are viewable. Why is this?

Wow does craigslist get really $#*!ed. Every single post I put up is flagged by craigslist before anyone can see it yet there can be 50 million porn ad and hookers and prostitution ads, what the heeeeeck... I read online forums and other people in same situation are clueless on what to do well not me you will see.

5/21 I used Craigslist to find a local mover. It worked out excellent! Not only did Larry show up 10 min. Early, he and his partner worked fast and efficiently. I would recommend Budget Moving Service in Grand Rapids. I wish I could go on his ad and rate him there instead of doing it this way.

Like all these sites online, you have to be on guard, people (buyers) will have you running in circles until the cows come home. And NEVER agree to deliver, that gives them the advantage. When you arrive at the destination, they'll start wit the usual jerkoff games to get you to lower your price. I make it a point to never leave my chair for anything off the internet until they've arrived. I have a 2 or 3 question limit before i delete them and I do not get into texting marathons.

Posted a request for friends only, specifically saying no sex or I'd block them. Literally just a friends with similar interests post. Never even made it to a live listing. They have a section called "missed encounters" and it's mostly sex workers, which doesn't bother ME, but they obviously allow them. Is it because they are "straight"? I want to see this crap site fall the way of MySpace... someone please develop a better model using their idea of a national platform, and just put ads at the bottom. No one cares about small ads at the bottom, I promise. Get paid, do better than Craigslist. They are an outdated model and provide almost nothing. Someone with computer website know how please make a better site!

While I have had many good results with buying on CL. Selling or promotion or even getting hired is tricky. The usual fears of spam scam or worse. The hippy days are over for Craigslist and the pot that they smoke is affecting all of us who rely on the classified posts for business. I'd like to see that they have changed for the better. It's a monopoly.

Craigslist is pretty good if you want to sell your comics and DVDs. I made successful sales of my Superman comic books and the customer didn't try to haggle for a lower price. If the price is reasonable, you won't deal with difficult customers. Every once in awhile, there's an annoying phone call but it's infrequent. The pets section is toxic, though, so do well enough to avoid.

I just moved into the Addison at Universal in Orlando, FL and this is best place I have ever lived. The staff really cares about the place looking nice and clean. I live facing the pool and on the weekends it is busy but I can assure you the office staff are on it regarding residents and guests not tearing up the amenities. Everyone is super nice and it is like living at a resort. Very pet friendly and they even have a pet spa. Office closes at 6pm but they have someone that works until 9pm so the pool, technology room, and inside amenities are available. Don't waste your money on these other over priced complex, here you actually get what you pay for! Thank you staff!

I will never try and put an ad on Craigslist again, what a waste of time, who ever heard of a platform where your competition can flag you and get your ads removed for no reason

All you get for posting something to sell on craigs list is trolls scams and spam. Its not worth the time to post anything. They know it, we know it sir hope they consider shutting it down. Its just a place where shady crappy awful people hang out and wait to prey. A very dark useless place.

Craigslist arbitrarily deletes ads and systematically lies about it, claiming that ads not displayed are published and visible; it's been getting away with this for more than a decade. There are no clear-cut rules about links in ads; it's suggested that too many cause ads to be flagged for removal, but even when all links to external information are removed, Craigslist continues to delete the ad, never providing any explanation whatsoever. All kinds of scams and frauds are tolerated and dealers constantly post as private owners, but I cannot advertise my own $70 computer for sale because the ad is repeatedly removed. Morons try to make out that Craigslist's problems are posters' instead.

Used to be great and it's still pretty good for finding things. Their fee to post things now seems to go directly against the reason it was created and shows how greedy organizations become. Like many people with not much money, I will not be selling anything through Craiglist anymore

This service seemed to me pretty flexible because it offers vast variety of opportunities. I found it when I was searching for new apartments, because my apartmenes were too old for me and I believed that it would be better to buy new apartments rather than renovate my previous apartments. So, I found here some offerings concerning apartments and bought new ones. I am really thankful to this service that it provides people with various opporutunities, people can even find jobs due to this service. Amazing, without any complaints.

Craigslist is horrible because they let dealer's take over because the dealers pay them money, $3 and add. And if a dealer is unhappy with a private add like mine, then they will get the moderators to take it down because it's competition at a cheaper price. He'll take the ad down without telling you or letting you know and then when you reach out to the Forum to find out why it would take him down you get treated like garbage and talked down to, because those people have no life and just like to have power over people just like some police officers nowadays

So let's just say Craigslist is one big gamble. You never know what you're going to get. But as long as you can read people via messages then you should have good experiences. I would reccomend this website to anyone who needs to save some cash.

We recently purchased a 2020 Chevy Blazer from Piehl Motors in Princeton and was very pleased with the experience. The entire experience was professional and easy to make the deal. Larry Lucas was our salesperson and was professional and knowledgeable. This is the 3 vehicle that we have purchased from Piehl's and would highly recommend the experience to anyone looking to purchase a car.

Posting on Craigslist is a joke. You spent a half hour making an ad, only for it to get flagged and removed nearly immediately by trolls, since Craigslist let's everyone and their mother flag ads without reason. You try contacting Craigslist about the issue and they're too good to even reply. If you're lucky enough for your ad to not get flagged two minutes after you post it, you will get contacted by nothing but spammers, scammers, and time wasters. All the people who claim to be interested in buying or even taking something for free are "no shows", and aren't even kind enough to tell you they changed your mind. You'll wait around all day for people to never show up. Conversely, buying is a nightmare as well. People never respond to their ads, which leads you to wonder why they put one up in the first place if they have no intention to sell. And don't even get me started on all the puppy mill and other inappropriate ads Craigslist doesn't remove.

I tried to get two houses for rent in the Tampa, Fl area and both times they was a scam. Craigslist have a bunch! I mean a bunch of people scamming

I have to say that he is one of the Best I have ever found going on Craigslist to get a job done. Very reliable and thorough. Very fair pricing compared to others. I recommend CMG handyman services as He does a great job. Thank You CMG handyman for all you have done.

If Craigslist can "ghost" a local ad for a Schwinn 8 ways from Sunday whenever they feel like it, then they can certainly stop giving (seriously like super-lazy-dont-even-gotta-try) hackers & cyber criminals access to millions of kids phones worldwide, who are selling their skateboards & Pokemon cards & gotta deal with this garbage: (please see pic)

Plus the usual 5 or so virusy emails in my inbox. They (CL) make billions on paid ads now, so they can fix/filter this tired scam thing easily, but seem to choose to ignore anything that involves any effort whatsoever, leaning instead on a few tired warnings nobody sees or reads, especially kids.

I dont think I've ever had this particular problem with LetGo, 5 mile or any other free site I can think of thats still around. Not since like 2000? Not even Offer up (pretty bad one btw) was all virusy & full of scam emails like CL still is. Usually only seeing this nowadays on completely unmanned or abandoned "zombie" sites -not ones that are actuallly "legit" businesses with over a billion in ad revenue. Truly disgraceful that people *still* have to put up with 30 criminal fakers for every 5 ads they place on there.

Put my account on HOLD & won't say why.
Can't FIX... had this account for way more than a Decades.
Do NOTHING Wrong. Just trying to sell some stuff to stay alive.
Can't POST now and have not been able to much else for a very LONG time.
100% the Worst Anal beings (Human, probably NOT) on this planet.

I conducted an "accidental experiment" on rental house search and took my time to verify the public records of each property, check the owner's identity, usually cloned by the scammers, contact the real state company who actually managed the property and, to my surprise, the prevalence of the known "Nigerian scam" is absolute. Of the 37 ads on my sample, all were scams (which I reported to the FBI). Too bad: in 2016 I used the platform to find the house I live now and it was true-to-price.
Transnational Criminal Organizations are taking advantage of the American housing crisis and this problem won't go away. Craigslist should not be used for house or car searches.
