There is no dedicated Craigslist customer service number on the company`s contact page. If you are having trouble with Craigslist, the easiest way to get in touch with the support team is by filling out a contact form on the company website. Go to craigslist.org, scroll to the bottom, and click Help.
Then, click Contact Us and the Craigslist contact form pops up. You will have to enter your name, email address, and a brief description of the issue. When you are done, click Send Message. You should get the company’s response in your email.

Craigslist customer service isn’t provided via social media. There is a Facebook group where group members can exchange information and ask questions to each other. They may publish sales ads in the group. There are also several similar Craigslist groups on Instagram with the same purpose.

In addition to social media discussions, you can use the Craigslist help desk forum. Browse the company website, scroll down and click miscellaneous. You’ll see a list of available options, choose the help desk forum button, and submit your request.

Before filling out the Craigslist contact form, check out the company help page. It contains a lot of guidelines, help articles, and answers to the most frequently asked questions. You may find the solution you’re looking for faster.

If you’re facing issues with the merchandise you purchased on Craigslist, you may also try to get in touch with the seller before contacting customer service directly. Check if you can settle the issue and come to an agreement with the seller first. If you fail, you’ll have to seek support from the Craigslist customer care reps.

There are various ways of contacting someone on Craigslist, for instance:

1. Once you find a listing you are interested in, click on it. In most cases, you can find the seller's contact details in the "Reply" section at the top of the listing. Press "Reply" to see how to get in touch with the person. This may be an anonymous Craigslist email, a phone number, or both.
2. Some ads on Craigslist have a form you can use to send a message without leaving the site. Just enter your information and message, then click "Send."
3. If an email address is provided, you can click the email link to send a message directly from your email program.
4. If there is a phone number, use it to call or text it to ask about the listing.

In order to close your account, you will need to enter the website with your Craigslist account login. Then, delete your active postings, if any. To close your account, send a request to customer support via the Craigslist contact form or email abuse@craigslist.org with your account information.

If you see a Craigslist ad that seems inappropriate or fraudulent, take the following steps:

1. Locate the ad you want to report.
2. Click on the “Prohibited” or “Flag” options at the top-right corner of the ad.
3. Select a reason to flag the ad, like "Spam," "Misleading/Prohibited," or "Fraud." Craigslist will use this information to check the ad.
4. Once you choose the reason, Craigslist will mark the ad for review.

To access your Craigslist account, visit www.craigslist.com. Once you are on the homepage, select the "My Account" link in the top-left corner. Enter the credentials associated with the account and click on the “Log in” button. Now you can manage your postings, update your account information, and view Craigslist ads.

If you got a suspicious email or had a concerning conversation with someone on Craigslist, you can send the email or explain what happened to Craigslist’s abuse team at abuse@craigslist.org. Include important information like the Craigslist ads links or email headers.

To post Craigslist ads, you should do the following:

1. Go to the official website.
2. Select the city and region where you want to post your ad.
3. Choose a category for your post, for instance, “Jobs” or “For Sale”, “Housing” and the like as well as a subcategory to make your post more specific.
4. Fill out the posting details with a title, price, description, contact information and images.
5. Click “Continue” to preview your post and then “Publish” to make it live on Craigslist.
6. Click the link sent by Craigslist in the email to confirm and publish your post.

According to the official website, www.craigslist.com, Craigslist is owned by its founder, Craig Newmark, and its CEO, Jim Buckmaster. Craig Newmark started Craigslist in 1995 as an email list for friends in the San Francisco Bay Area. It later grew into the online classifieds site we know today.

You can email Craigslist via several emails, depending on the purpose of your inquiry: abuse@craigslist.org to report scams, abuse, or inappropriate behavior on the site, legal@craigslist.org for legal-related issues, dmca@craigslist.org in case of DMCA-related issues, help@craigslist.org for help desk-related questions.

Craigslist does not offer direct customer support through telephone communication. However, there are numbers related to accounting and billing to call the company: (415) 399-5200 ext 8283 and (415) 399-5200.

Just please respond when there are questions of concerns. Apparently I'm unable to use your services until you respond to my problem.

I have a malicious tenant who was asked to leave because of violations. They did leave but they constantly flag my posts on craigslist and CL will not do anything about it.

An absolute nightmare

No one got back to me.
Fraudulent renters on Craigslist 5x.
Wanting personal info via email. When I call them the numbers are from Rhode Island or out of country.
So many scammers on the site.
I flag them and the next the post is up again!!
Customer service should be doing their jobs and practicing due diligence. These are unsafe practices.
