I paid for ad but your company scammed me by taking too much 4 times.

AI Highlights
  • User reports five charges for a single ad during payment.
  • They request a refund for at least four charges and want to keep one post.

I posted an ad for dog training, and when I went to pay on your site, it kept saying 'repeat repeat.' I didn't know that each time it was taking more money out. I got an alert from my bank; I should have only paid for it once, but it took out five times.

Please refund at least four.

I still want to post one. My number is 480-376-****, and my email is dogman59@***.com or hakeem.ali59@***.com.

Loss:
$20

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Be careful of multiple charges when paying for and as

My *** getting groceries by the Craigslist computer for a long time

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I'm having major problems not getting ghosted. My ads just keep getting ghosted, and I'm not getting any business for a long time now. I keep paying you money and getting nothing.

Loss:
$20000
Pros:
  • It worked really good at first
Cons:
  • Will never answer the phone you can never talk to anybody you just got to keep getting ripped off ghosting

User's recommendation: You can't call him you can't talk to him they don't want to talk to you and I I've been going over a year and a half now you're getting ghosted phones and I keep giving the money it's ridiculous

It won't post

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was having trouble posting about an antique show but I figured it out. It took me a while but the location seemed hard to adjust from northern new jersey to central new jersey. I basically had to start all over again.

I keep getting flagged and I don’t know why

AI Highlights
  • Unsure why my massage ad is flagged.
  • I sometimes refuse clients if something’s off.
  • I want my ad reposted; please reply quickly.

I have no idea why I keep getting flagged. I offer massage in the health and wellness category.

It must've been because I turned a client away that did not appreciate that. That's the only thing I could think of. That happens sometimes if I feel like something is off with someone. I won't see them.

I'm looking at many other advertisers that advertise on Craigslist for health and wellness wing massage, and mine really is not much different than theirs. I'm wanting to get my ad reposted.

I'd appreciate getting back to you as soon as possible, please. Thank you.

Loss:
$2000

Preferred solution: I’d like to be able to get my advertisements back on

Flagged post

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • User posted puppies for rehoming with no fee listed.
  • Posts keep being removed.
  • User says no price was listed and asks why removals occur.

I posted puppies for rehoming, no fee listed, and you keep taking it down. Why do rules say that's okay for rehoming with a small fee?

I never listed a price at all. Stop taking my post down because it's within your guidelines.

Preferred solution: Leave my post alone

Trying to post and it keeps getting flagged

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • They haven’t been helped and have no one to talk to.
  • They want a call at 415-571-**** for dog rehoming posting help and say they are being flagged.

I have not been helped whatsoever. I don't know what to do.

There seems to be absolutely nobody to talk to. Can someone please give me a call at 415-571-**** and advise me on how to post for my dog. I'd like to rehome a dog and I'm constantly getting flagged. It feels unfair and extremely frustrating.

I look at the pet section and plenty of people are able to rehome their pet, except for me.

What am I doing wrong? Please advise.

User's recommendation: My recommendation that I always tell people is be careful because Craigslist always flags post. Other people know about this. Not only are you flagging posts but you are not advising on what to do or have any contact. It's impossible.

Never go to craigslist

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Craigslist is nothing but scammers, the company does nothing to weed the scammers out. Craigslist had *** customer service.

They are terrible. They're not a trustworthy website.
