I do not recommend Craigslist and…

I do not recommend Craigslist and deleted my account. I sent an email to them a few days ago and they didn't respond. I had housing ads posted and received many requests from
low-class individuals attempting to solicit prostitution. I stated numerous times that I don't trade housing for sex; I pay rent. That's disgusting. The vindictive, immature people flagged my ads. My ads didn't violate CL rules and regulations. Craigslist has lost me.
I occasionally work as a copywriter and will not use CL as an advertising platform; I will spend my clients' money elsewhere. I give CL a letter grade F for non-existent customer service.

Craigslist is not safe…

I listed my pickup on Craigslist and all 4 of the people who contacted me were scammers. I was unaware untill all of them requested a Vin report and who I should get ahold of to get it. Soooo the first one truly scammed me, I fell for it and paid for the Vin report so he has all my information. It was a fraud site and I had to cancel my credit card as he tried to use it again. Then back to back I had three more inquiries just like that. Some body is going to get killed and I hope it is not me and my family. I just want Trustpilot to know about this in case this happens. By the way I paid for the add.

Horrible company with an extremely poor…

Horrible company with an extremely poor flag filter my post a very real post about trying to find our puppy a home continuously keeps getting flagged for removal for absolutely no reason no reason has ever been given nor do I suspect it will yet I see other people have their puppies for sale for upwards of $600 twice the price I was even asking for our puppy I'm not a breeder never have been this litter was an accidental litter from a stray dog impregnating my pup at this point I have one puppy left that I have no idea what I'm going to do with because Craigslist keeps flagging my post for removal this poor little guy may not get a home now because Craigslist is incompetent and can't even check their own flags or their own email as I've emailed them to try and resolve this to no avail no response no nothing. At this point I'm ready to delete my entire Craigslist account never to return again I'll be using other sites from now on unless Craig's list decides to fix what they've broken. An apology wouldn't hurt either considering now I've lost upwards of $100 through more care such as puppy food shots deworming all things I was not prepared nor expecting to have to pay for I already did my due diligence I'm giving these pups their first rounds of shots and dewormer the rest of them were supposed to be on the new owners as we do not have the money for this as I stated this was not a planned litter it was accidental we were not expecting it I need a new roof so having an extra puppy around to take care of is cutting into extremely needed funds. So thank you very much for making my life extremely difficult Craigslist for apparently no reason as you still have plenty of people having their puppies for sale for almost $1,000 on here but I can't rehome mine for $300 definitely feeling pretty discriminated against seems to me you like to pick favorites!!! I also strongly believe there should be discipline for those falsely flagging posts because their childish babies who didn't get a puppy because their childish babies and we're not going to be a good fit for these pups just because they were cute little accidents doesn't mean I'm sending them with psychos so if I deny a psycho and then they continuously flag my posts for removal because they're sad they didn't get a puppy that person should be reprimanded for making false reports!!!!

Terrible spam filter

I go update one of my free ads to include my experience from an event with nothing vulgar then the post was instantly removed without a human even checking it. What kind of site is this if you can't even use basic english without being flagged?

Very dated looking but who cares

Very dated looking but who cares, it works, it's simple, I get lots of stuff sold or bought on it, starting a fee to sale cars though? Not the best move hence the minus 1 star

Craigslist is a great website to sell…

Craigslist is a great website to sell and offer your services. But I'm ashamed in the fact that others dont see it. OFFER UP doesnt have that, you post a service or put your phone number it gets removed. Most people go for what's new. But they dont ask themselves this question. Why is this website so old and it's still standing. A business that is old and still standing must be good.
