Craigslist Arvostelua 

CRAIGSLIST IS THE WORST! Ad's continue to get flagged for removal, due to no reason. This has happened for years. There are no administrators to contact and no recourse.

If your credit card is not from America or Canada, forget it! This organization does not have the capacity or willingness to accept it!
Very disappointed!

They actually sold me a terrible device which was not even efficient and they also scammed me. At first, I thought that Craigslist was an amazing company. But they are real liars and totally bad scammers. Whoever who established Craigslist should be ashamed.

The Worst Website Ever the people who Use Craigslist Are Scamers And crooks Craigslist needs to be taken down from the internet period I have seen so many woke Ass people in general Plat form in my life on the web

Replies to jobs postings used to open a new email in my email server. That way I could write to the employer. Now it merely opens my Gmail scroll or my yahoo mail scroll. I complained a week ago.

I've used craigslist for over 20yrs. It has a very primitive site, but easy to use and post.

Issue here, is the amount of lazy, weird people. Half of the people will contact u, make all sorts of communication, until you finally give your address and then u get ghosted. Seems to be happening more and more. First time your like well that was odd, u contact them back and nada. After a few more times, your like well.. they aint showing and then move on.

I got a top 4 encounters from my experience with CL.

1. god forbid u try to sell old adult magazines.. the creeps come out in droves. Want to know what's good spank material, what will get their "juices" flowing.. eyeroll.. had one guy who wanted a stack of magazines, got my address and then never showed.. infact he called me by the previous owners name of my house when I already established my name.. was very odd.

2. Another time I was selling a stereo.. person contacted me.. wanted like 1/2 off, then contacted me on FB market place.. same deal.. then he went back to me on CL, told me somebody stole my pictures and posted the same ad to FB then accused me of playing games when I said I was selling the same item on 2 different platforms.

3. Posted a like new belt sander from Harbor freight.. posted it for like $10.. got some guy who sent me a nasty email.. telling me i'm full of dookie to even think I could get $10 for a harbor freight item. Infact he wanted to come over and beat me in the head for trying to con people into buying harbor freight garbage.. eyeroll

4. Posted some used car mats.. like new weather techs.. got some guy who started off ok.. but I didn't respond for like an hour and he sent me the most disgusting messages.. calling me a cheap N person(im white).. told me he was going to find out where I live and knife me..

Point of these encounters.. is you do have to know what your doing with people.. I swear people are bored and this is the price you pay for "Free" ad services. Granted.. I havent had nearly the amount of drama on FB as CL.. but FB u have a profile and it's a little more personable. Here on CL.. u dont know whos on the other end.. in fact.. even if a communication is going swell... sometimes you can tell how somebody is, i've stopped communication if I get creep vibes.. its just not worth it.

Just be smart..

I've actually been struggling with CL lately.. not sure what's going on.. but if it isn't lazy weirdo's it's bots and if it isn't bots.. its nothing..

Just know what your doing on there and you'll be fine.. people are strange..

I have bought and sold many things on craigslist. One really has to be on the lookout for scams because. If you are trying to sell a product or service then competitors will flag the hell out of your ads just so you get removed.

Let's face it though. It has a terrible interface. There are a lot of really strange people on there and it can be brutal to those who don't know what there doing.

At best, you'll be dealing with a 90's themed website (basically wall of text). At worst, you'll be parted with your money without receiving a product. It's a bulletin board without too much moderation or verification, which is good and bad.

They my massage ad down when I am a legit massage therapist!
But they allow these women to post ads up that sell more than massages with pictures of their bodies being exposed!

While Craigslist started off as a good site, and has maintained a very clean and lightweight design throughout it's existence, it's undoubtedly one of the absolute worst sites on the internet today.

The site staff literally don't care about their users. Support emails are literally never read, they go to an unmonitored inbox. Their site's contact form is literally just a placebo, those messages literally never get read. Their forums are the most toxic place on the internet and you will never get any sort of help from them, only flaming and insults.

The site is full of scams, phishing, criminals trying to set people up to rob them, and it's automated spam filtering algorithms do nothing to prevent the massive flood of spam that makes up the majority of the content on the site, but they do often prevent legitimate users from posting non-spam-content.

Furthermore, the founder, Craig Newmark, is an objectively terrible person. He's not a good man. He's a hateful, vindictive, self-righteous arrogant jerk who goes out of his way to shut down competition, to shut down sites that enhance Craigslist, and a hypocrite who claims to stand against corporatism while engaging in the very thing he decries

Do yourself a favor and stop posting on that site, and don't pay them a penny. Let Craigslist starve and die

Craigslist is over priced junk.
It is a place for lying people to sell their worthless crap.

As the old saying goes you get what you pay for. i had an ad flagged today for no apparent reason...nothing offensive inappropriate or illegal. That said it's ok. CL has always had a poor reputation and it's new format makes it even more irrelevant. It harder to find what you are looking for....instead of having all options visible on page you now have to drill down and the price and product so you have to go back to see the price...slows you down and makes you pass up alot...not worth the trouble...back a$$wards. Time to retire sleazy CL.

It’s mind blowing how many scams for rentals are on Craigslist. I’m not even sure there’s anything posted that isn’t a scam. Waste of time.

I found a seamstress on Craigslist by the name Elaine (Asian lady). She damaged my clothes and refused to refund me but showed unprofessional and negative attitude. She overcharges too. I hope my review will warn others.

Craigslist doesn't deserve minus 1 billion stars. They are the most corrupted site you could ever use. Their own people flag people's post all the time. They are completely prejudice site. Total discrimination going on in the site. They constantly flag post for no reason. Look them up on the better business bureau website and they have an F for a rating. They should not even be in business. They are more corrupt than the democratic party is. They got away with absolute murder. They should be shut down for good. Nothing but a bunch of crooked people. They take people's information and they sell it. They lie non-stop. There is not one thing. Good about that site. Craigslist needs to be shut down for good. They are pure evil people that run the site and own the business. They lie more than our politicians do, and they are completely completely completely discriminant business

Craigslist is trash! I've used them plenty of times in the past for posting various ads. Up until recently I will say I would never use them again. They are old and out dated!

I posted a recent ad for a Rottweiler I have. Now mind you before I go into the details I never posted any price / amount and never mentioned anything that would get the post flagged.

I posted that I was rehoming a 2 year old male Rotty and explained he was crate trained, potty trained, and etc. Well needless to say I was legit asking for a small amount for him as I did not have time to hold onto him and just truly wanted him to go to a good home and not a breeder.

Well my post constantly would get flagged for no reason. Craigslist flagging is bs! They don't verify the reason why the post is being flagged, but soon as it is flagged the post is immediately removed without question. You can't even repost you original post, you need to recreate the entire thing all over again.

Craigslist allows posts to be flagged without question and removes the persons post without even advising them the reasons why it was flagged. Basically you get these breeders on the site and see a regular guys post and they flag it as they see this as competition.

Craigslist should be checking peoples posts before being flagged down! It is truly trash when you follow there guidelines and the post is still removed over what, someone who either refuses to pay, sees your post as competition, and etc.

Terms of service say you can list a pet with a small adoption fee. However, I have posted my pets for sale and many different ways and every single one has been taken down within a few hours. I have emailed customer support three times with no response.

When trying to post an ad for offer help people with moving service for a job the ad keeps getting declined in there system and in the past have done plenty of jobs on Craigslist with the exact same ad. I been moving local and long distance mover for both residential and businesses and all my customers very satisfied. Now when I try to post with the same credit card always use, the card is automatically declined. We need work to survive and this is not right.

What good is it when you don't get a response from those selling pets?

Took my money without any explanation for refusing my paid post.

The ad for my car was posted for three hours and the 5 responses were all scams. Craigslist “customer service” was MIA. You would think that a site with more predators than buyers would feel compelled to do something about it. Hugely disappointing
