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.

Poorly run company. Awful. They flag and remove legitimate postings constantly, thousands by the day, because their AI program is so stupid. Plus, they have thousands of loser trolls low-lifes online all day flagging ads that don't violate anything. These absolute scum of the Earth sit at home all day flagging whatever suits them, whatever they don't like, even if it doesn't violate TOS. Stupid company, stupid site, just pure cancer. Avoid.

Terrible Customer Service I've listed my stuff on CraigsList for a few years. In the last few weeks, they have removed my listings, for no good reason. I create posts to sell DVDs, but then they're immediately removed. The worse thing is that there's no way to contact a person there.

CL is the absolute worst site right… CL is the absolute worst site right now...after placing legitimate and legal posts over and over again I get removed for no reason and no explanation whatsoever!! Don’t ever bother posting! On top of it all you see totally obvious inappropriate posts for weeks without getting flagged...who are these clowns !?

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.
