Verified ReviewerMy ad was paid for 30 days but I am being asked to pay again
No one answers the phone at the office in Austin TX.
What kind of business never answers their phone?
The type of business that takes your money and doesn't give you what you paid for, that what Craigslist seems to be doing here.
I paid for an ad (which was $7 for 30 days or so I thought)
Now you want to charge me again!!
It has only been 14 days!!
- Good format
- Lazy customer service uses recorded messages
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don't use Craigslist, they have gotten to big and WOKE they don't care about their customers!!

Verified ReviewerScammer advertising on KC CL
Hi. This is Adam Willhite who has advertisements for a mobile mechanic.
He lives in Arkansas but advertises on our local Kansas City swap pages and CL. We made the mistake of hiring him. He said he'd fix our Pathfinder for $800. We are out $300 and want to warn others.
Adam came and brought his wife and three kids, and had them sit in the truck. He disassembled the car and then said he needed $300 to go and feed them lunch. He said he'd be right back. However, three hours later, he still wasn't back.
He finally called and said we had nothing to worry about. He said he was definitely coming back in the morning. We asked what time and he said 9 am.
He never came back. Beware!
Preferred solution: Warn others

Verified ReviewerAds are getting removed
I've placed ads all over the country, each one in a different city and state. I have had 10 ads flagged for removal.
There is nothing offensive; there is no scam.
I have almost spent $80, and they were only up for four days. Please repost my ads, or I will take my business somewhere else.
Preferred solution: Repost all of my ads. These ads are how I run my marketing business.
User's recommendation: check your ads daily.

Verified ReviewerNo one is there to talk to someone when their account is flagged for no reason
Hello, I am curious as to why my listing was flagged. It seems that there are other listings with similar descriptions, titles, and photos.
What could have triggered my account to be flagged? I made sure to accurately list the location where I am currently located.
However, your online platform only allows for a limited selection of cities to choose from. I am trying to understand the reason behind my account or article being flagged.
- Posting flagged for no apparent reason
Preferred solution: Information on why the posting was flagged and removed

Verified Reviewer | Stilwell, OklahomaPost keeps getting flagged and removed was wondering why is this happing and what can I do ? Ty
No one actually contacted me after I sent in the issue. But I am very pleased to say that I have had successful post since I contacted pissed consumer.
Post were immediately removed upon submittal. Thank you for your fast response and resolution to this issue.
My post is being flagged for no reason multiple times
I am not sure if you received my previous response, but I am utterly discontent about how CL is handling flagging my posts and not letting me to re-home my puppies. A stray dog came to our house 3 months ago, so we adopted her, but 33 days later she gave us 9 puppies, who are now 9 weeks old and are in need to be trained, which is impossible for me when I have a full time job!
So I am trying to post these puppies, hoping to give people a great deal on a very expensive dog, but I am being removed by CL just as soon as I make the post! I have done more than 5 posts, and being flagged like some criminal.
Plus, there is no customer service phone number to relay my situation to! Please help me with this!!!
User's recommendation: Not sure why I keep getting flagged!

Verified ReviewerCraigslist operates like Communism with unjust censoring and flagging of legitimate posts.
Throughout the years I have placed room for rent ads looking for roommates. In the last 3 years there has been an increase in censorship and flagging of my legitimate ad that meets government statues.
In 2024, I can no longer post a room for rent ad, it is flagged automatically. Craigslist is operating like Communism.
- There is no longer any pros to craigslist
- Started to operate like a communist country
Preferred solution: I like Craigslist to stop operating like a Communist country and stop the unjust censorship and flagging of legitimate ads that meet government statues.
User's recommendation: If you like Communism, then continue to patronize Craigslist

Verified ReviewerSELLER AGREED TO SALE AT THE PRICE OFFERED, NOW WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY REQUEST TO COMPLETE THE SALE
At 3:04 pm on July 7, the seller made an offer via email to purchase clubs. At 3:28 pm on July 7, the seller agreed to the price and to meet for the exchange.
I have sent three to four emails to establish a time and place that is 20 miles apart, but now the seller will not respond.
I understand if he has sold the clubs and forgotten to take down the offer. However, I cannot think of a reason why he has not responded to my inquiries in nearly 24 hours.
- Seems like a good place to buy used products
- Rules governing seller responsibilities unclear
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: I don’t know what to recommend. I just don’t understand why the seller is not responding to my inquiries relating to what we had agreed upon.

Verified ReviewerHorrible service!!!
I'm trying to list a room for rent in my own house, and for no apparent reason, my ad is flagged. I tried to contact customer service.
However, every time I provide my email address, the system tells me that this email address is already registered - of course, it is, because I have an account with them.
This is just ridiculous! When I try to send this complaint, it shows a connection error.
Preferred solution: Unflag my listing “room for rent “
User's recommendation: Don’t go there
