Craigslist Opiniões 420

Craigslist is great if you want to get scammed. Absolutely perfect! No search function. No meaningful indexing. Nothing works as it should. I have no idea how the operators aren't living on the streets and addicted to drugs. Nothing meaningful has ever come from this company or the people who run this company. The very fact that they haven't shut down this website tells me that they're in kahoots with all the scammers who use it. If more than half of your clients or scammers, and you continue to do business, it's because you're the scammer.

Horrible. Craigslist used to ROCK. Now it is ROCK BOTTOM. I need a roommate and tried to post an ad for that. Phone number is now required! My phone number is PRIVATE and not on the open market for online data mining! Furthermore; I have the right to state preferences like male or female or working at home or other ways to discriminate and find someone compatible to live with. Craigslist loses because a bought and paid for NuWoOr loser is allowing digital criminals and ai to run it into the ground. The man who built something pretty cool is now screwing his base. I placed hundreds of paid and free ads online for clients for many many years. My personal email got hacked recently and bam they demanded my ID to get to my account. I wrote to them several times and they did not even have the decency to answer me. Over 20 years of supporting them; I feel seriously screwed! I will post ads in hell before I ever recommend Craigslist again. It is so bad that the Tampa Bay area includes Miami and Jax. What a freaking joke! Future clients (if I am lucky enough to get one) will be steered elsewhere. My ID has already been compromised and the last thing I want is my cell phone number in AI's invasive hands.

Paid $5 for a local service ad. It stayed in "moderation" for 24 hours, then my account was suspended without any explanation. No ad, no access, but they kept the money.

This is unprofessional and looks like a scam. Already filed a chargeback with my bank. I was ready to post dozens of ads monthly, but I’ll take my business elsewhere. Avoid.

I would very, very, very strongly advise against using Craigslist for any service requiring you to pay anything. I placed three legitimate ads on their Business Services Section. My ads were up for one day, then were ghosted for no legitimate reason. When I contacted their Support to ask why my ads had been ghosted, they immediately started gaslighting me and claiming that my ads were visible. That was a lie because I had friends from various IP addresses search the ads. None of them could find the ads. Also, the view count on the ads remained constant.

I contacted my bank and got my ad spend money back. I should not have had to go through this, but this is standard operating procedure for Craigslist, an extremely arrogant and unprofessional company.

The truly mind-blowing thing is how Craigslist will allow ads for scams and "personal services" to remain up forever.

Don't waste a dime on Craigslist. You're much better off spending some real money to advertise in legitimate local papers with professional support.

I wouldn't use Craigslist to buy third-hand toilet tissue to wipe my you-know-what.

Craigslist = glorified Backpage

Tried posting a legitimate missed connection but kept getting removed. There was one about a guy looking for a plumber to give him a good pipe job, but even after being flagged multiple times it kept being reposted and allowed to stay posted . . . But, It seems alot of the real missed connections get flagged and are never allowed to be reposted. I've read others talking about the same problem.
Craigslist is no longer a valid site, it's now mostly just a bunch of creepy basement trolls and scams.

Drove for 4 hours no one showed very very bad communications with people a lot of scammers. Platform is out of date very hard to navigate I only use marketplace now. 10,000 times better than Craigslist.

The once good site has gone to the trash. It use to be fun looking through listing of usable second had goods. Craigslist has fallen to the depths of pure trash for the most part! Some people post junk day after day month after month. I mean real trash taking up page after page over and over. It's a shame! No it's not one person's trash is another person's treasure, I mean junk yard trash!

Horrible. Blocks my posts for no reason or explanation. Waste of time and money. Move on!

At one point craigs list was a great place to advertise and find things. Now people have cluttered up the various venues with ads that are not listed in the right section. I.e. industrial refridgerators and motorcycles under camping gear. These ads do nothing but clutter up the space where true things belong. Soon no one will waste their time with craigslist.

Id give no star if i could.I never use craigslist and i figured out why the last 4 days.I get plenty of fake cashiers check scams and no real buyers.This app is straight up junk and i see why people dont like it anymore.Every single scam message says the exact same thing every time.The person wants it or has to have it.But every person is either too busy working or with their daughter’s wedding and too busy but ask for address so they can send fake check for 100 dollars over asking price and for me to take the item down and consider it sold.What a bunch of hot steaming dog shit this app is.I will never ever use it again.I deleted every item and still getting scam fake cashiers check messages

HORRIBLE! It is like a pron store anymore. Alot of improper posts and many scammers.

Totally frustrated with craigslist. It's becoming a total joke. Can't post without it getting flagged over and over again. Totally bs! Won't be using them anymore.

Definitely definitely definitely 100% useless site filled with scammers. There is not one thing on this site that is legit where there is not somebody trying to rip you off. also, I can post stuff on Facebook marketplace and it will sell instantly on this site. All you get is a bunch of scammers and retards then I have nothing better to do than just waste your time.Don’t waste your time advertising anything or trying to get any positive feedback from anything. This site is totally useless. Scammers 24 seven incomplete morons it’s like filled with t people that don’t have their life together all whack jobs

This site deserves -10 stars. Can’t post an ad to rehome a dog, it’s constantly flagged and removed, but you can advertise sex. I mean really. Scammers galore. It seems like every ad is a scam, it’s as if the whole site was set up for scammers.

I'm trying to re-home a dog. She needs a big fenced yard to run and I can't give that to her. I posted in community->pets and the post got removed twice. I went to the forums looking for answers because apparently there is no staff support on free ads except in rare cases. So in the forums all I found (except 2 individuals) was an endless amount of trolls. I NEVER thought I'd find a cesspool of trolls worse than Reddit I stand corrected. HelpfullHedda and postingid11 were the only ones I saw making an effort to suggest what was wrong with my post. The rest of my thread turned into name calling and bickering about adoption fee/rehoming fee with some saying I didn't deserve what I was asking because the spay was through the shelter vs out of pocket. The bickering reminds me of a bunch of bratty bullies. And there's this downvoting system that's ridiculous because even if a comment is good the rivals downvote anyway just out of spite. It's a trainwreck of a forum as there appear to be NO moderators at all. I have HelpfulHedda willing to help me with a modified post but honestly there are enough trolls that could all team up and repeatedly get posts removed. I see posts all the time asking for rehoming fee and they don't get removed.

I get that they are restricting pet sales but at the same time the TOS allows for talk of a rehoming fee but our ad gets removed because of the mention of a rehoming fee. So which is it??? And being picky about how the spay was done. Either way I paid for the spay whether through the shelter or through the low cost spay clinic. The money still came from me. The low cost spay clinic billed the shelter as they had my money. It's all so ridiculously stupid.

I deleted my auto forsake positing. 10 days later, it AUTO CHARGED ME and posted the car again.

Craigslist makes it difficult to stop. I now have deleted my card on file to ensure they can not charge it again.

DISHONEST. UNETHICAL.

Yet again I posted something and it was flagged within 2 hours and removed.
No idea what is going on there but enough is enough!
I deleted my account there as it is 100% wasted time.

Never again!

My advice: LOOK ELSEWHERE!!

Used Craigslist for the first time ever, the only messages I received were from scam artists with this same exact message stating:

I appreciate you responding to me. I've been putting in a lot of overtime at work. Since I'm unable to meet in person, but I'm fine with the price and condition as stated in the advertisement, I'll go ahead and write you a check. Once the money has cleared, we'll arrange for pickup. Please respond to me as soon as possible with the information provided.

Full Name:

Address:

City, State, Zip Code:

Your Cell Phone Number:

Last Asking Price:

Payment will be delivered to you overnight as soon as the aforementioned information is submitted, and I'll notify you when it ships by sending you a tracking number. Please remove the posting indicating that it has been sold, and I'll add an extra $70 for keeping it for me until the check gets to you.

Thank you and best wishes

Like we are all dumb enough to fall for this B.S. Everyone who knows about scams knows better than to fall for this. Some offered a cashier's check, but I'm smart enough to know that the $16,000 worth of items that I am selling, nobody in their right mind would ever buy without seeing it in person first. These idiot scam artists hear a mouth full of vulgar words from me. I can not stand a thief and will not hold back on letting them know they are bums and the scum of the earth. I've had over 20 of these messages and it is like they copy and paste it. It is the only offers I have had from Craigslist. It is just ridiculous. You would think that Craigslist could do better when it comes to who is allowed on their website. So I went to more websites and have put my ads out there.

Having used Craigslist over 5 years I've seen it all. I have never rented where someone didn't try to leave something on. Stove ,oven, bathroom light something. I don't understand that. Indianapolis indiana scammed me for $625.00 dollars. I thought after renting from 3 women over 5 years I was good. Dude took that money and ran then the girl in the back said he don't own the home but was there when he showed me around. Bed bugs is the reason I moved from some houses and the one that didn't have any, deputies searched my room but not the whole house. Very odd since I was 1 in 5 that worked. If you need details just contact me. Hope to rent again once working. But have to sign lease up front. I.d. was stolen I'm guessing from mailbox in Charlotte NC. Had only showed the Craigslist contact that it was coming in the mail. I had to ask for lease to go get it then she sent her nephew with my lease. All under Craigslist. I gave 3 stars cause I made the best out of bad situations.

Craigslist’s recent changes are confusing and frustrating, potentially driving users away. They need to go back to the old version.
