Flagging has made the site unusable Flagging mechanism is grossly abused with no way to review, correct or appeal. Legitimate ads are taken down in minutes or a few hours at the most with no warning just because someone can click 'flag' at the top of the page. This not only makes the site unusable to sell or promote anything, but also severely limits the pool of legitimate offers which might be of interest to buyers.

I have bought and sold many things on… I have bought and sold many things on craigslist. One really has to be on the lookout for scams because. If you are trying to sell a product or service then competitors will flag the hell out of your ads just so you get removed. Let's face it though. It has a terrible interface. There are a lot of really strange people on there and it can be brutal to those who don't know what there doing. At best, you'll be dealing with a 90's themed website (basically wall of text). At worst, you'll be parted with your money without receiving a product. It's a bulletin board without too much moderation or verification, which is good and bad.

Craigslist has really gone downhill… Craigslist has really gone downhill over the years. Postings get taken down for no reason. No customer support. I don't recommend this company.

Going back to the square wheel era I've been on computers since 1991 and this is the most ridiculous platform I've ever come across in my life. When eBay classifieds was around or now with Facebook Marketplace you simply check off all the ads that you want to renew and it's done. This useless outfit is so backwards that if you don't renew your ad on the day that they decide, they then delete the photographs from your ad unless you're up between approximately midnight and 3:00 a.m. California time. Then you've got to search on your phone for the photographs, it's so backwards. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody until they update their stupid software. After renewing five ads, at to your sixth ad it says you're renewing too rapidly. Hence my point above why not just have the person check off the ads that you want to renew when that time is coming up and renew them like Facebook Marketplace. They also delete ads that are not offensive in any way. This has become quite common lately.

Worst experience ever Worst experience ever, this was my 1st time using craigslist. After viewing many posts on dog adoptions I made a post to adopt a puppy from a breeder that might have special needs such that they won’t be euthanized. A customer service representative Ms. A. Lieber replied with a nasty email calling me a LOSER who can’t afford to care for a disabled dog, I’m guessing because I’m black I must be a pauper. My suggestion to craigslist is hire competent people who know how to be professional!!!
