Craigslist absolutely sucks now

Craigslist absolutely sucks now. It used to be a good site but their bots or employees delete your posts if you post in other cities. I have some extremely unique material that is hard to come by in the US so for the wider audience I post it in other markets and those are constantly getting removed.

There is a reason everyone is going over to Market Place! I get far less than half of the responses I used to get on Craigslist....It's dying a slow death.

I have been a Craigslist consumer for many years. Craigslist can be helpful and provide you with information. But now that I am 39 and looking for a job I am facing discrimination. Craigslist posted an ad today for a job in Brooklyn 08/17 in all black and in all capital letters letting me know they despise black people.

Crigslist has died :(

It takes one or a handful of bad people to ruin everything for all. This used to be such a fantastic website, I made good friends in it, join activities, applied or posted jobs, etc; it was simple, free, easy and the best part, world wide for those who are world travellers, sometimes i enjoy reading people's rants or the session where creative people would post brilliant thoughts, letters, there was sessions to fulfill any wants and desires, so unique as a website! Now, due to so many restrictions after a psycho stained the website with his evil actions or those who'd go too far on their perversions & scams, it's not the same and it's now dead. Very sad to see such amazing platforms like this perish over time because of some bad weed. Crigslist deserves recognition for how useful it was back in the days.

Craigslist is Dead?

I have used Craigslist for years to advertise rental properties. Recently, I posted and ad but Craigslist kept removing it, no explanation, and no support to contact. I am not sure why the ad was removed. Maybe other landlords flagged it to reduce competition. I guess Craigslist is dead.

Totally worthless site anymore. Has not been updated for years! I had around 10 items listed, not one response in over a month. They need to shut it down.

Your site used to be good 10-15 years ago. Now everytime you post something, no matter how trivial, it gets rejected. I've tried multiple posts and it can be the simplest most innocent subject, and it gets removed before it even gets posted. I'm moving on after years of using your site.

Craigslist should be investigated by the government. They take your money put your account on hold for no reason. No customer support. You can’t even close your own account. I will be reporting them to my attorney general.

Craigslist is the worst.

Craigslist is the worst.. trying to edit my post for my lost bird and it is asking for a phone verification; which is not working..... Why use it when it doesn't work and doesn't allow you to edit your post. I used the email verification before and that does not work either...... It is not sending the notification to my email. I NEED TO UPDATE MY POST; TO ASK FOR CONFIRM ON MY BIRD

Not worth it

If I could give them zero Stars I would. This is the first time I have used them and it will be the last time that I will ever use them. I have been trying to sell my Irish Wolfhound Dane puppies. For whatever reason it keeps flagging me even though everything I have written has been like other people's posts and even though it has all the requirements and it's not violating any terms it continually gets flagged repetitively. It is a horrible system with no checks and balances. Not to mention any person can flag the post which is ridiculous because if you don't like someone you can continually flag that person.

I posted an ad in room/shares.

I posted an ad in room/shares.
I'm assuming it's because of someone I may have rejected, that stole my information as their own and posted an ad. And they may have been flagging my ad, so I was not able to get timely responses.
My ad was completely legitimate and craigslist kept taking it down, and my stolen information from someone else is still there after several complaints about their information being stolen from me.

Somebody keeps removing or flagging …

Somebody keeps removing or flagging our post to re-home our puppies. And this is a huge issue because I've addressed it several times to support, and support doesn't respond or correct the issue. The worst part is, that we are in the ST. LUCIE FLORIDA AREA AND ITS SOMEBODY IN THIS AREA, Martin county, Indian River those post about homing American bullies you can see all day. Same issue our signs we have made and put in the community somebody puts poster size stickers in regards to bullies. Buy one kill 2 with a picture of a bully pup being injected for euthanization. Not labor doodles, Aussies, Frenchies just bullies.
I hope this review gets somebody's attention at Craigslist.
So, that Craigslist personnel understand, we screen and confirm that our pups are going to the right people. And if somebody's complained in the past, is because they may have wanted a male and female from the same litter which will never happen or persons showing up claiming their separate households but wanting a male and female. We see through the crap and don't want our dogs breeding from the same gene pool. So there's a lot to consider, for our reasons. And understand those are the people or people that discriminate certain breeds.

Mechanic returned car unfinished & only wrapped 2/3 of the car

Here is what happened after I hired Mechanic Armen Barsegian AKA Mike
for a "wrap-job" on my Mercedez, stating that it would take 3-5 days to do,
1. Insisted on cash up front.
2. Held my car hostage for over a month.
3. Tried to extort me to pay more money, after the fact.
4. Did a mickey-mouse job with door handles & other parts falling off.
5. Only wrapped 2/3 of the car, leaving the back & other parts unfinished.
6. Forced me to go to a Police Station in the Valley to go pick up my car.
7. Found car with a big mess inside and no gas to return home.
8. Sucked the AC liquid he put in right back out, out of spite!!!

He is an Armenian Con Artist who prides himself at ripping women off.
