Fed up with BS

Terrible site

Reviewed on 2021-05-01T01:46:18

Terrible site, worse community. Its just spam and scams. Legitimate posts get flagged repeatedly.No sense in using a site/app that doesnt work, you cant contact anyone for help with the site. If you cant even make a legitimate post without it being flagged, its UNUSABLE! Please, for the love of god, let this site die.

I will never advertise any services…

Reviewed on 2021-04-26T02:21:31

I will never advertise any services here again. I advertised my pet sitting services,and the only people who messaged me are people who were offering jobs that I never advertised for. 3 of the people were sleezeballs who wanted to offer me a job fulfilling fantasies that I wasn't interested in. I even told a guy that I wouldn't respond to job requests where I would be asked to fulfill any type of fantasy, and it has to be a pet sitting job, and if I don't respond, that means I'm not interested in the job. He said he understood, but then he proceeded to offer me a job that was exactly what I said I didn't want. I'm done with Craigslist. It has gotten worse since the last time I tried to advertise.

I have been buying and selling big…

Reviewed on 2021-04-20T16:15:57

I have been buying and selling big ticket stuff on the internet since march of 1998, first with ebay,then Craigslist, after Ebay started trying to make people pay their sale fees when dirtball deadbeats refused to honir their bids. As time went buy Ebat bought in n to craigslist and was later given the boot, after just a couple years, but it was then that Craig Newmark left Craigslist and his namesake webesite went into the cesspool!!! As it is now, Craigslist and Ebay havexrun hundreds of newspapers and ad magazines out of business, leaving consumers and the public nowhere else to buy from, or advertise with. Craigslist has lost any credibility it ever had. Its FULL of scammers and its new leader, Jim Buckmaster, refuses to do ANYTHiNG about it and the way it looks, never will!!! So where do we go to buy or advertise? America's other trashbsg - FACEBOOK!!!! So now its Facebook and its Jew Wonderboy Mark Zuckerberg, who have become the new scammer-ridden, un- policed place we all advertize in and buy at!!! Luckty us!! But what other choice do we have? We dont, unless, as they say, history will repeat itself and a caring, considerate and wealthy person will buy out one of these crappy advertising sources and turn it/them into a friendly, honest place to go, to buy and sell. Until that time, I have no doubt that Craigslist will remain an enter-at-your-own-risk website. And while I DO own a good domain name for such a site, I dont have the money to fund it.

The honest truth is that I got scammed

Reviewed on 2021-03-03T18:30:42

The honest truth is that I got scammed. The company must have IT staff who are able to query the user database to find out who are brand new users of Craiglist.The new ones are then targeted. I won't go into details. I'll only say I haven't used Craiglist since, and I recommend that you don't either.

Poorly run company. Awful.

Reviewed on 2021-02-28T14:17:27

They flag and remove legitimate postings constantly, thousands by the day, because their AI program is so stupid.Plus, they have thousands of loser trolls low-lifes online all day flagging ads that don't violate anything. These absolute scum of the Earth sit at home all day flagging whatever suits them, whatever they don't like, even if it doesn't violate TOS. Stupid company, stupid site, just pure cancer. Avoid.
