Verified Reviewer |Someone posted something of mines that I had on Facebook and put my number on the listing
Someone took a picture of my rims on Facebook and posted it for sale on Craigslist, putting my number on the listing. I don't want it up; a lot of people are calling and texting me for it and it's not for sale.
The person who did this needs to be banned from Craigslist for false advertisement. Please take the post down!

Verified Buyer |Craigslist is Rachel discriminating against minorities and it needs to be stopped
I'm a massage therapist. And I've been trying to post on Craigslist services health and wellness.
Which is $5. For a while I thought that I was posting the ad wrong. Maybe I was not going against the rules. Maybe the picture was bad.
But today I got my answer. They are racial discriminating against minorities. I posted two ads. I paid for them they never even posted them.
Plus not only is Craigslist racial discriminating but they're scamming minorities out of their money. We pay to post an ad on Craigslist when we post the ad it's supposed to go active. The Craigslist is not even allowing that they're flagging us before it even posts. I went through my personal ads.
Were once said receipt and then they don't say that they don't have a receipt. Contacting Craigslist they said it wasn't charged for the ones that don't ever see it. There's over 17 $5 a piece. Anybody that wants this proof please contact me I have it and snapshots.
Recommendation to Future minority customers. Craigslist is scamming minorities and racial discriminating.
Have a photo along with this of me purchasing the service. Service never went up.
User's recommendation: Craigslist racial profiling against minorities. And scamming minorities out of their money!

Verified ReviewerMy posting for companion dogs was removed
I called the paid advertisement line. Nobody answers.
I left a message. Nobody responds.
True all companion dogs are pets, but not all pets are companion dogs. They need to be papered and registered with a registry such as AKC or DBR to even be eligible for the companion animals certification programs that these registries offer. A lot of work and expense goes into a raising a litter capable of being companion dogs. you cant just grab a pit bull hybrid from the local shelter or someones barnyard litter.
I had to pay over $3000 and take out a bank loan to get just one of my mated pair. They needed genetic testing to assure they were genetically healthy and wouldnt developed issues as they grew older. I had to pay for all that!
How are people supposed to find companion dogs in Hawaii if people think they should be free or go for $40? Absurd!
- Lots of people read it
- Managed by closed minded idiots
Preferred solution: The issue fixed so I can post my companion dogs but add without it being removed
User's recommendation: Tell Craigslist to have a section for free pets and another for specialty or papered animals. Don’t just not service us because of their opposition to paying for animals.

Verified ReviewerNo customer service.
I have used Craigslist for over 10 years using what started out as free small business advertising, now paid, which has been crucial in establishing my local brand. The problem is my payments are continuously declined on several valid debit, and credit cards.
I have submitted numerous support forms, but have NEVER received a reply .
I'm sure others are having the same issue. They are actually losing money due to someone's incompetence.
- Well established platform that gets results
- Zero customer service
Preferred solution: Contact to help solve my issue.
User's recommendation: Seek an alternative.

Verified ReviewerUnable to post
Cannot post. Ridiculous customer service and system issues.
Very unprofessional and same as 3rd world technology. My opinion is to fire management and overhaul the service department and technical department.
Why am I being forced to type so many words before I can move on? Does the owner or investors know about this?
- Seliing stuff easily
- Unable to contact a live person
Preferred solution: I just wanted to post…

Verified Reviewer |I placed an ad for a room for rent and you removed it the next day why?
Answer my question. I placed an ad approximately a week ago and the next day you guys removed it with no explanation.
If there's a fee to place the ad, I'd be glad to pay it because this happened a couple of years ago and you wanted five dollars to place the ad, which is fine with me. But someone needs to communicate with the customer so the problem can be resolved.

Problem listing Commercial Buildings
No one ever got back to me, after trying to post my add under office warehouse 8 or 9 times I gave up. I got no help to resolve the problem, they said my card was no good.
I called my Cr. card company, they told me they saw where I tried 7 times, they also said they approved each one. The Cr. card company said it was a problem on Craigslist not with me or Cr.
card company. Plus, you gave me a number to call, it was a scam and my Cr card was hacked by them. I had to get a new car number, they charger my card for $55.00 on behalf of Craigslist.
By the way we tried another Cr. card and that would not go through.
Both Cr card companies said there was nothing wrong with our cards.
Plus, the person I talked to said they would call me back to figure out the problem, they even took my number, no one ever called me back. End of story, the company had me delete the Craigslist account that we used for years to list the office buildings.

Verified ReviewerRefund for posting
There are ads that offer massage and sex. Our ad said, 'massage and prefer seniors.' I had a call from a guy, 41, and he wanted massage n sex happy ending we said find another not here .
We said no so. We think he took our ad down and it's a paid ad. Craiglist hasn't helped or even bothered to look at other ads. For example, a guy is looking for another guy for fun.
Why is his still up? LOL.
- When no one flags u have clients n can find work
Preferred solution: Full refund

Craigslist has been around for 30 years! They operate in 570 cities in over 70 countries, with a wide variety of languages.
They have approximately 50 employees and no customer service helpline, unfortunately. My questions for you: Who is Rachel? How does Craigslist know you are a minority?
If you are including something about that in your ads, that may be against their terms of service. Finally, are you aware this is a public internet forum and if you were to check, you would see there are many, many people complaining about paying for ads that are never placed or get flagged and removed almost immediately.
