Contact Craigslist Customer Service

You can email Craigslist via several emails, depending on the purpose of your inquiry: eraser@craigslist.org to get in touch with customer service, legal@craigslist.org for legal-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.

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.
