Because I tried to post a legitimate ad and they keep on removing it
- - Craigslist is accused of hiding bad reviews, enabling scammers, and eroding trust, with ad deletions and rehoming a puppy cited.
Craigslist is a total embarrassment. I watched this brand create a bunch of good people in California look at their reviews.
I don't think I can find a company with that low of a review. In the zero bracket, they have zero character; they won't even address their bad reviews. They're hiding that zero character; they're a scammer's heaven. Look at the photo I posted; this is a puppy I have.
I've discovered I have cancer, and I'm trying to rehome it properly, and I keep on deleting my ad. Why would anybody want to do business with them? Why would anybody even look at their website? It has a zero review; I mean, come on, do you really think you're not gonna get cheated?
They're protecting scammers.
They are allowing competitors to take down ads. Well, they are a really messed up company with zero character.
- 100 million
Preferred solution: What type of an apology can a company give you that has a zero brackets this company only supports scammers look at their reviews people they speak bounds
User's recommendation: Just look at their reviews I don’t think anything else needs to be sad

Verified ReviewerScams Durango co rentals 3 this week alone. Craig’s list is not functional anymore
- - Rental scams in Bayfield and Durango use identical messages.
- - Texts are persistent and push to sign up, with a $1200 Durango rental example.
Scam bayfield rental, scam Durango house, scam Durango rental apt. All text, no conservation.
I started the background process they all have the same conservation after I realized its all the same scam. One example Im also getting mutipal text. Im trying to past the one guy in a tunnel that was a $1200 month rent for a Durango rental.
He and the other are so persistent all the same language, aggressive to sign up.. where do I send their info?!?!?
User's recommendation: Don’t bother Craig’s list has gone to trash scams.i took screen shots of the rentals excited they do not even exist for me to put up a pic im my photos. Stay away from Craig’s list. They’re no longer legit.

Someone continually flagged my posts...
Someone continually flagged my posts for no reason. I have puppies to re-home. No rules were violated.
- Quick access to make items available
- Large number of viewers
- Craigslist seemingly does nothing to prevent flagging harassment
Preferred solution: Individuals banned that maliciously flag posts, for instance - to reduce available pups, items, etc to increase sales
User's recommendation: Craig's list is convenient way to make things available

Resolved: I just notified the company yesterday..Someone used Craigslist to post and sell a car under false advertisement. Odometer and description total lie
- - Odometer was wrong after purchase.
- - Blue 2006 Camry listing matched a 2003 car.
- - The seller stopped responding by phone.
I blame Darren James.
I realized after the purchase of the car that the odometer was wrong. I shouldn't have gone by myself to purchase it.
He disconnected his phone. It had the same description as a listed blue 2006 Toyota Camry, except it's a 2003. They are stacked on top of each other. It took me another minute to realize that I wasn't crazy.
Two cars that look exactly the same, described the same—watch out.
And if you are a person easily overwhelmed with life at that time in your life, don't make purchases or discussions like this by yourself. You must be clear-headed.
- Dishonest people
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Be very aware

My posting
- - The rehoming post was flagged; they seek an explanation and prefer phone contact over email.
I'm trying to post some of my animals, so I can get them a better home, and the next thing I know, I'm being told that my post for them is flagged for removal. What I did was make sure that they get a good home, and it's a small rehoming fee.
In the words that were used while I was reading what I'm told is I can put a small rehoming fee, which is right there, even in the description, saying rehoming. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. To get a hold of me, you can either reach me by email, which is whismorejames@***.com, but you can reach me better at my phone number 208749****. I would like an explanation of why it's being flagged because from what I've seen, what I was described on putting in my post is that I haven't done anything wrong.
If I did something wrong, I'd like an explanation so I can get it fixed. You can get a hold of me better by calling my phone number because I rarely check my email.
- Always flagging anything i post on there to sell or find a home for
Preferred solution: An explanation of why they're doing what they're doing
User's recommendation: No

Fraudulent ad for apartment
- - Complaint submitted via form; no rep contact.
- - I could not attach the ad.
- - Ad was a scam; price was over $4000, not $950.
I submitted it now on the complaint form.I did not connect with the customer rep.I wasn't able to attach the fraudulent ad but I was able to here it is below. I realized it was a scam because I Googled the address in the ad and the actual apartment had different picture, the building was different from ad and the price wasn't $950! It was over $4000.
User's recommendation: Scrutinize apartment ads. Watch for scams. If it sounds too good to be true, it's a scan. Report it! I did ustnow!

Craigslist sucks
- - No response from support.
- - Posts get flagged despite following rules.
- - Reasons for flags go unanswered.
- - Perceived inconsistency with other posts.
I've tried to get Craigslist to email me back, and they won't. I have posted on Craigslist many times, and I always go by their rules.
And as soon as I post, it gets flagged. I've asked them many times why my ads get flagged. They won't respond back.
But others can post on there, and you can see their post is breaking their rules, and it gets to stay on there. Makes no sense to me.
Preferred solution: An answer to why my adds get flagged every time I post them?
User's recommendation: Craigslist sucks

They allow $5 to $20 for a re-homing fee. It sounds like you are more concerned about that $50.

$500 loss? CL allows a $20 to $50 rehoming fee. If you charged more or have more than 1 or 2 animals, it will get flagged.
