Took my money and deleted my business ad
- - Ads get flagged after reposts while others' ads stay up.
- - Refunds for flagged ads have not been received.
Someone at Craigslist keep sabotaging any ad I post whether Im posting for a room for rent or Im posting for my business. There is nothing wrong with my ads whatsoever.
I see people posting the same business every single day the same people and none of their ads are flagged, but if I post my business ad, and then I repost it a few days later every single ad is flagged every single ad and now Im not even getting a refund. Something is really messed up and wrong.
Somebody takes certain people and deletes everything they post this is unprofessional and unacceptable. Somebody needs to change this.
Preferred solution: I’d like a refund for my ad that I posted an apology and then I’d like to have something taken care of so that my postings don’t get deleted every single time I post anything. This is unacceptable and wrong.
User's recommendation: Don’t post here. Go elsewhere.

I think I have to be a “member” of...
I think I have to be a member of Craigslist to buy anything. I have tried 3 or 4 times to purchase a Honda HR216 lawnmower in Anchorage.
At no time during my repeated attempts did I get a prompt to register.
Please point me in the right direction to buy this lawnmower. Thank you so much for your time, John Tuttle.
Preferred solution: To help me with a phone call so I can find out how to get a response from the buyer who is selling the Honda lawnmower -or- better yet, has he sold it yet?

Emails with sexual tones
- - The sender emails me on Craigslist, addressing me as princess.
- - They pressure for sex, threaten to locate me via iPhone, and police won't help.
This *** sends me *** emails addressing Me as princess. This happens EVERYTIME I post on craigslist or if I respond to a post.
These post are NOT romantic chance meeting or anything of that nature. He contacted me today from the resume post. He has emailed me in the past when I posted items for sale or items wanted.
goddessmotheroforishasupaqueen@***.com 732-799-****
He identifies as Mike. I told him he was disgusting and *** He insisted that I'm turned, he wants to show me pleasures for him, he has some dark sickness.
It's frightening because he can find out my location via iPhone address. The police wont do anything.
Especially when you post to a PUBLIC site like this one.

Unfair removal of legitimate posts
DO NOT USE CRAIGSLIST! The automated filter systems CONSTANTLY remove genuine posts that did not violate the Terms of Use.
Craigslist is a SCAM and a WASTE!, and moving forward I will utilize more reliable platforms. Craigslist would do better if posts were manually evaluated and removed if there's a violation, NOT an automated bot doing it!
- Unfair automated removal of genuine posts that follow the terms of use
User's recommendation: DO NOT USE CRAIGSLIST, that's my advice out of personal experience!

No one answered the phone. I would give you an zero.
You don't answer and act concern. How do you expect people to get in touch with you about an issue.
User's recommendation: Sucks

Talk to a person
- - Site redirects to a new page, forcing the problem to repeat.
- - A scammer posing as a mobile mechanic on Craigslist stole a $10k vehicle; no reply.
Your system makes you leave the page, and when you return, it's a different page and cannot make the call without repeating the problem. Anyway, someone masquerading as a mobile mechanic on CL stole my $10,000 vehicle.
I emailed CL twice and received no response.
I get it; they don't give a *** It's not THEIR 10 grand. Still, they could warn others or maybe catch the *** even...
Preferred solution: Get my stolen goods back and thief arrested
User's recommendation: Don't deal with CL.

Worst site for selling items
They are consistently removing posts that DO align with their terms of use which lowers trust scores.
