Craigslist Allowing spam postings

When i select by for sale by owner and search for a food processor, i get assaulted by a dozen ads for grubhub workers wanted. This is an ongoing problem and is happening in many cities, as i have checked. This is a violation of the terms of Craigslist and i find it abhorrent that your company continually allows this to happen. This is not what anyone should have to deal with when looking for an item by owner. Even when i flag these, they come right back. These postings are not even being placed in help wanted category. Allowing this shameful advertising by companies who are taking advantage of workers should not be propped up by Craigslist.

Desired outcome: I would like Craigslist to be responsible for checking who they are allowing to have free advertising, that it is not allowing mis-categorized hustling.

Craigslist A local advertisement for computer hardware

The individual was totally rude right from the beginning, then he proceeds to send me an email cussing me out, and I take that as a threat. Either you do something, or I will to the full extent of the law

Desired outcome: Remove the ad and ban him from posting in the future, and criminal charges

Craigslist Electrician

I was in need of electrical work at my home. I contacted a person by the name of IVAN GUERRA.

This person arrived at my home, took apart a timer for my outdoor lighting, said he would return later that afternoon with new parts. Said he would complete the repair!

This person never returned and is not answering my calls! Left my light switch / timer in shambles.

Very unprofessional, not trustworthy, a disgrace to the people who post on craigslist...

Desired outcome: Negative post on craigslist, warn other, potential, clients of this persons dishonesty!!

Craigslist Misleading ads

On 8/11/2022: Why do you allow so many misleading ads on your site? I was looking for bricks and 290 apartments for sale came up...NO BRICKS! Also with river rocks, nothing but used cars. Almost everything I put in search, something entirely unrelated comes up. What is this? I now search/shop mostly on Facebook Marketplace for items because of this irritating, time wasting issue.

Desired outcome: I'd like a reply and for you to fix this issue.

My postings keep getting removed within 15 minutes of posting. My posts follow all the guidelines and this has been going on for over 3 weeks. Other Realtors are also complaining about the same thing. Craigslist did state that they had an issue on their SYSTEM CHECK but it has not been resolved at all. Just 10 minutes ago, all my postings,gone.

Desired outcome: fix the bug thats removing these adds systematically

Craigslist Apartment Rental advertised on Craigslist Chicago

On March 23, 2022 my daughter contacted a Mr. Court Peterson about a short term apartment rental in Chicago that she found on Craig’s List. The Address was 3719 N. Broadway Chicago, IL 60613. We filled out a rental application which was approved and on March 27th we sent through three separate payments to an Xavier Vinson who was said to be the owner of the apartment a total of $4,295 dollars for 3 months rent and a security deposit. We continued to talk with the real estate agent Mr. Peterson throughout the month of April to verify that everything with the apartment was still good and he assured us that it was all good. When we contacted him to get the keys, he disappeared, and we have not heard from him since then. He scammed my daughter out of her money. I do have a lot of supporting documentation (text messages and emails) from Court Peterson. Police reports have been filed as well as a complaint with the Illinois Attorney Generals office.

Desired outcome: I would like my money back, but this guy should not be allowed to advertise false apartments. Craig's List is a scammers paradise.

Craigslist Ghosting

Every time, my posts, since possibly the last week or so my posts don’t get viewed on the search. I post it it shows success but it doesn’t appear. I go to the account and it says removed. ALL OF THEM. I don’t understand why that continues and it’s frustrating because I have not done anything wrong. I have been rehoming pets for a long time with no issue in the past. I am not a scammer or spammer. Why am I being ghosted?

Desired outcome: Reinstate my phone number and email on my account!!

Craigslist Pet flagging

The first time I was flagged by this person was

3 months ago,

Twice 15 days ago and

Twice today. All of the flags are in regards to Sugar Gliders in the Minneapolis area. If you look at my postings you will see the only ones being flagged are my Glider postings. I have asked them to “please stop flagging my post” they continue to flag anyway.

I, like the other person with pet complaints have followed all of the rules concerning pets. Gliders are illegal in St. Paul, MN not the rest of the state!

If you can please do something about this it would be greatly appreciated as well as help not just me but other people. I am not the only one having issues in regards to sugar gliders on Craigslist. Anytime a glider posting comes up it is flagged!

I was looking for one in the past and had to drive to WI due to the postings being removed. I will be posting on other sites if this continues. No since in posting it if someone continues to flag your posting.

Desired outcome: Block the person who is continuing to flag or fix my account where my Sugar Glider, postings cannot be flagged.

Craigslist Wanted: ducks, chickens, turkeys (forest lake) (forest lake)

I left my 11 ducklings with Steve, with a new bag of food, a cage, and feeder. "They'll be fine up here by the house with the other ducks," he said. Despite my warnings that they needed protection, they got none, and three days later they were all gone with no explanation, in fact a denial they were gone.

As I was there to get my cage back, another couple left a small rooster. Their rooster was getting beat up by the other animals without any gradual introduction or any intervention for the newcomer.

This is not a safe place to leave your unwanted ducks, geese or turkeys. Keep looking.

Desired outcome: Flag the ad so no one else has the same disappointing/devastating outcome.

Craigslist Fedup with abusive flagging

Please stop deleting my ads that are following the rules regarding pets. I know all the rules. If it’s not Craigslist deleting them then Jesus Christ stop allowing anyone and everyone from flagging any goddamn Ad they feel like flagging because they don’t like competition. It’s [censored].

When I follow the rules and you’ll still don’t enforce abusive low life scum bags from hurting the people that are trying to do the right thing, then something is really piss poor.

I realize it’s free but what good is free if you let scum ruin it for everybody

Desired outcome: Stop deleting ads thAt follow rules and stop anyone from flagging because they don’t like competition. It’s [censored]ing [censored]

Another unique feature of Craigslist is its community section. This section allows users to post about local events, activities, and groups. It is a great way for people to connect with others in their community and find out about local happenings.

While Craigslist has many benefits, it is important to note that there are also some risks associated with using the website. Users should be cautious when interacting with others on the website and should take steps to protect their personal information.
