Craigslist Reviews 

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

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.

Confidential Job Postings are a JOKE! They are phoney and you will waste you time responding to them!! NO accountability!!

Ad gets removed because trolls flag it, and it does get taken down for that reason only. No way of contacting the site. Loads of haters. Shout out to sad and desperate: Brian Leach and Jennifer Peterson.

Deserves a zero!! No accountability shown for a modern class classifieds listing. The company doesn't moderate or care about reports of scams which are WIDELY abundant on Craigslist. If you do buy in person then you best meet with the seller at a police station.. it's that bad! Stay clear!!!!!!!!!!

I only wish they had a -0 star option. This has to be the worst site in the world with a non-existing customer support. They are charging you $5 for an ad to only cancel your account and ad to say you violated a rule when you haven't and collect your money. When you call the number provide, they leave you on hold for 5 minutes to only hang up on you. PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE! They were only good when they were featuring their non-PG female ads. WHAT A JOKE OF A SITE!

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.

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.

CRAIGSLIST IS THE WORST! Ad's continue to get flagged for removal, due to no reason. This has happened for years. There are no administrators to contact and no recourse.

If your credit card is not from America or Canada, forget it! This organization does not have the capacity or willingness to accept it!
Very disappointed!

They actually sold me a terrible device which was not even efficient and they also scammed me. At first, I thought that Craigslist was an amazing company. But they are real liars and totally bad scammers. Whoever who established Craigslist should be ashamed.

The Worst Website Ever the people who Use Craigslist Are Scamers And crooks Craigslist needs to be taken down from the internet period I have seen so many woke Ass people in general Plat form in my life on the web

Replies to jobs postings used to open a new email in my email server. That way I could write to the employer. Now it merely opens my Gmail scroll or my yahoo mail scroll. I complained a week ago.

I've used craigslist for over 20yrs. It has a very primitive site, but easy to use and post.

Issue here, is the amount of lazy, weird people. Half of the people will contact u, make all sorts of communication, until you finally give your address and then u get ghosted. Seems to be happening more and more. First time your like well that was odd, u contact them back and nada. After a few more times, your like well.. they aint showing and then move on.

I got a top 4 encounters from my experience with CL.

1. god forbid u try to sell old adult magazines.. the creeps come out in droves. Want to know what's good spank material, what will get their "juices" flowing.. eyeroll.. had one guy who wanted a stack of magazines, got my address and then never showed.. infact he called me by the previous owners name of my house when I already established my name.. was very odd.

2. Another time I was selling a stereo.. person contacted me.. wanted like 1/2 off, then contacted me on FB market place.. same deal.. then he went back to me on CL, told me somebody stole my pictures and posted the same ad to FB then accused me of playing games when I said I was selling the same item on 2 different platforms.

3. Posted a like new belt sander from Harbor freight.. posted it for like $10.. got some guy who sent me a nasty email.. telling me i'm full of dookie to even think I could get $10 for a harbor freight item. Infact he wanted to come over and beat me in the head for trying to con people into buying harbor freight garbage.. eyeroll

4. Posted some used car mats.. like new weather techs.. got some guy who started off ok.. but I didn't respond for like an hour and he sent me the most disgusting messages.. calling me a cheap N person(im white).. told me he was going to find out where I live and knife me..

Point of these encounters.. is you do have to know what your doing with people.. I swear people are bored and this is the price you pay for "Free" ad services. Granted.. I havent had nearly the amount of drama on FB as CL.. but FB u have a profile and it's a little more personable. Here on CL.. u dont know whos on the other end.. in fact.. even if a communication is going swell... sometimes you can tell how somebody is, i've stopped communication if I get creep vibes.. its just not worth it.

Just be smart..

I've actually been struggling with CL lately.. not sure what's going on.. but if it isn't lazy weirdo's it's bots and if it isn't bots.. its nothing..

Just know what your doing on there and you'll be fine.. people are strange..

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.

They my massage ad down when I am a legit massage therapist!
But they allow these women to post ads up that sell more than massages with pictures of their bodies being exposed!

While Craigslist started off as a good site, and has maintained a very clean and lightweight design throughout it's existence, it's undoubtedly one of the absolute worst sites on the internet today.

The site staff literally don't care about their users. Support emails are literally never read, they go to an unmonitored inbox. Their site's contact form is literally just a placebo, those messages literally never get read. Their forums are the most toxic place on the internet and you will never get any sort of help from them, only flaming and insults.

The site is full of scams, phishing, criminals trying to set people up to rob them, and it's automated spam filtering algorithms do nothing to prevent the massive flood of spam that makes up the majority of the content on the site, but they do often prevent legitimate users from posting non-spam-content.

Furthermore, the founder, Craig Newmark, is an objectively terrible person. He's not a good man. He's a hateful, vindictive, self-righteous arrogant jerk who goes out of his way to shut down competition, to shut down sites that enhance Craigslist, and a hypocrite who claims to stand against corporatism while engaging in the very thing he decries

Do yourself a favor and stop posting on that site, and don't pay them a penny. Let Craigslist starve and die

Craigslist is over priced junk.
It is a place for lying people to sell their worthless crap.

As the old saying goes you get what you pay for. i had an ad flagged today for no apparent reason...nothing offensive inappropriate or illegal. That said it's ok. CL has always had a poor reputation and it's new format makes it even more irrelevant. It harder to find what you are looking for....instead of having all options visible on page you now have to drill down and the price and product so you have to go back to see the price...slows you down and makes you pass up alot...not worth the trouble...back a$$wards. Time to retire sleazy CL.

It’s mind blowing how many scams for rentals are on Craigslist. I’m not even sure there’s anything posted that isn’t a scam. Waste of time.
