The worst part about Craigslist is that anyone anywhere can flag your listing. It automatically gets removed and you get this BS reply from Craigslist that there are many reasons your listing could have been deleted...but they never give you the real reason. I've tried several times to sell my motorcycle, followed all the terms and conditions...all rules...some jackass keeps flagging my listing cause its fun.
You sir, are full of shit! Craigslist may charge for certain ads, in some places, but generally, it is a free service. They will never charge you to place an ad if you're just looking to sell some of your stuff. Quit lying to people!
it actually does suck. It is pretty much useless for anything useful that one might try to do with it. Horrible way to organize information. One could easily conceive of a site format that is just as simple but 20x more useful.
I totally agree with this guy...absolutely correct...I dont even remember HOW MANY times I posted on Craigslist, just to get flagged minutes later. That's why I only use sites like doogieads . com or backpage now
Hope your site takes off. Craigslist sucks, flagging is out of control, people spamming you, and people lowballing things you are trying to sell
I posted an ad for a brand new stereo 32 inch TV for free, that a wealthy friend gave me. I got a job out of state and couldn't take the TV, but some a-hole flagged me. Long story short, I had to throw it in a dumpster. total waste, now a perfectly good TV is clogging up a landfill because of some craigslisttard douchbag
Craigslist doesn't work bottom line. Post ads they ghost the ad based on favoritism. The site doesn't work. Seems like an alternative would be best such as upillar.com
When craigslist gets their act together I will come back to it.
now i understand why my ad got banned(flagged). i guess u can no longer post a "will trad" ad with a price of "$00.00." i need 2 find better site, something new, or, at least till they also go "pain in the ass." or, hopefully, one where there has 2 be certain conditions met before anyone can flag you. Craigslist is infested with trouble makers, flagging any1 because they can. Craigslist used 2 be cool, now, like YouTube, has gone downhill. But YouTube rocks still, compared 2 Craigslist.
i fucking hate craigslist. ive posted alot of airsoft stuff and it says its been posted. i look and it doesnt show up on search results. it said it could take up to 15 minutes, its been 3 days and still nothing! FUCK YOU CRAIGSLIST!!!
Craigslist sucks because it allows any idiot to flag and remove anything regardless of what the posting is about. Its also a haven for thiefs and criminals to offload stolen goods and its a great stalking ground for online predators.
Craigslist does suck, but for many more reasons than Lee states. Flagging, ghosting, and the foul-mouthed bullies involved in the "help" section are problems. I've never seen such a cesspool of inhumanity. I suggest that good people wanting to use free online advertising consider other "family-friendly" altenatives. Give your business to sites that monitor more responsibly. They will grow, and craigslist will die.
he didint even touch the real reason why craigs list sucks donkey berries. The section where you post to meet people of the opposite sex is purposely a spam info collection program designed by the Police. And the fact cops use the service of the people against the people as a public servant. Hows that for irony.
I find craigslist to be very sketchy with the flagging option and other areas I will not include at this time. As a hint...some inner manipulation is at hand within the site and not just from the well known scams but from the inside.
When figuring this out they freeze your acct unethically.
I will be looking for a better site for sure and avoid the C/L scam.
Wow, you almost made a valid point. 1st off, only job postings in 18 cities and brokered housing ads in new york cost money, because 9 times out of 10, it is a corporation or greedy individual who is posting. 2nd, craigslist is local. Do you expect people to go through the trouble of looking through the 40 million ads posted a month in order to find what they want and then have to pay for shipping. Lastly, if enough users voice interest in a new area, craigslist will make one. Nice try though
