Over spamming
April 27, 2020

Craigslist has become a Spam and over posting bastion wasteland. I looked in the cell phone section and 90%
Of ALL ads are one guy over-spamming his ads w useless titles. Hundreds of the same ad.
A waste. Craigslist does nothing about these schmucks
I have moved on to faceb marketplace

There are so many bad ads there
There are so many bad ads there, yet they need to flag a professional legit one? What is the problem here? Maybe it's time for alternative marketplaces?
I don't know who is flagging and why when there are 20 massage ads up? This is bs or very jealous competitors?
Waste of time.
And the people there are so scared of other users of Craigs.

Just litterally so many issues.
I can't use the same phone number I had perviously used...
My ads keep getting automatically deleted.

This website is ruined. I remember when you didn't have to verify jack$#*! and it was amazing and simple to use.

I created a Add on Craigslist To rehome some puppies that my dog had. I am not a breeder I did not want my dog to have puppies. Craigslist says that you can re-home animals for small fee. They're letting everyone else rehome their animals for a small fee. But every time I post the puppies that I need to find a home for as soon as possible because I can't keep them They flag the ad. I see people with two and three ads up it's crazy that's your site or your people at Craigslist are giving me such a hard time. I am disappointed and frustrated with the Craigslist site for flagging my ad.

Craigslist is great for buying/selling and to find apartments and houses. If you want to find a date, I wouldn't recommend it. There is a lot of scams and things going on, but overall the site is very useful. I use it often.

This is a great site!
January 6, 2011

This is a great site! I have purchased many items at great deals! This works just like a newspaper. I don't give it all 4 stars due to the scammers. Most scammers when you are buying are easy to notice. When you are selling it is a little harder to spot scams and spams. People will email you with a simple question then you respond and suddenly your spammed by that email address. Buying and trading is nice; the selling can get hairy but I have been successful.

This site sucks 110%. They leave moronic nitwits power to flag and remove honest ads to rid the competition. You can't post ads a couple towns away. WTF? This is the dumbest selling site ever. Follow their guidelines... flagged! Post an ad... flagged! I'm sick of it! That's why the Legal Beagle team that took on PetSmart (soon to close) and other corporations is on the case against Craigslist. The wrath coming will end Craigslist. Let's hope someone will create a site similar that doesn't flag or remove posts. Flagging a ad that's for a few towns over is nuts. Die Craigslist! Soon you will, go Legal Beagle team.

Piehl Motors
September 1, 2020

We recently purchased a 2020 Chevy Blazer from Piehl Motors in Princeton and was very pleased with the experience. The entire experience was professional and easy to make the deal. Larry Lucas was our salesperson and was professional and knowledgeable. This is the 3 vehicle that we have purchased from Piehl's and would highly recommend the experience to anyone looking to purchase a car.

Gone to $#*!
July 17, 2018

This corporation is committing acts of Copyright, Trademark and Servicemark Infringement. They are also censoring individual political commentary directly. They ban individuals from posting ads despite declaring it open to those who do not violate Terms of Service. When they steal your time, edit your posts which do not violate the TOS, then service your credit card and force refunds, processing fees, depletion of your business credit, etc. they are doing this with the intention of stopping work against their declared policies.

Whatever happened to CL it has become an institution of deception, fraud, unscrupulous business practices and it is in violation of Anti-Trust Laws since it is favoring competition selectively.

Rental Scammers
August 26, 2020

Craigslist will allow anyone to post a rental home on their website scammer's at best! They do not have safety measures in place to identify these people that scam on properties everyday. IT IS OUT OF HAND and something needs to be done!

I Tried out the personals on this site about 6 times and every single time i was always flagged and removed. I was discriminated against because i am a attractive lady. I think the guys would complain about you if you ask for a picture. Who wants to meet someone who you don't even know what they look like. I think the girls on the site complain and flag & remove the pretty girls. Which is wrong. I know this because i got a rude email from a girl. And the men get pissed if you don't get back with them after you get their picture. What a joke. I also ran a ad and got rude prank calls because i wouldn't give them the deal they wanted on my weed eater. I would stand clear of this site. Just rude people on it. The people that run it and the people that are on it. WHAT A WAST OF TIME REALLY.

Craigslist is okay, but it's time to step into the 21st century now. A ton of people use Craigslist, so it's a great site for buying and selling, but the navigation lacks big time. The site just has a real 90s feel about it. But... because so many people use it, so do I.

This service seemed to me pretty flexible because it offers vast variety of opportunities. I found it when I was searching for new apartments, because my apartmenes were too old for me and I believed that it would be better to buy new apartments rather than renovate my previous apartments. So, I found here some offerings concerning apartments and bought new ones. I am really thankful to this service that it provides people with various opporutunities, people can even find jobs due to this service. Amazing, without any complaints.

Phone #989-1555. Set up an appointment for estimate to have my bathroom remodeled. He set up an appointment, then did not show up. When i tried to reach him to see if he was running late the call went immediately to voicemail and he hasn't returned any of my calls since. Very unprofessional.

Recently scammed out of $3500 from a fake cashier's check drawn on an out of state bank. I live in Washington, check drawn in Texas. If you get a check from anyone regarding a Craigslist posting - call the issuing bank immediately to validate the check. Had I done that, instead of relying on my credit union's due diligence I would not have been scammed. Beware of Craigslist phishers and scammers.

Is okay if you want to meet the most creepiest people over the net - Seeing as it is free, any nutjob with access to a computer (which is everyone since libraries offer them for free) can post personal ads on the net.

BEWARE of craiglist you can get scammed and craiglist will do nothing about it. So, I would be very caution in dealing with craiglist. My sister lost over $3000. 00, and craiglist hasnt done nothing about the scam artist being on their web site. I think this is a problem and a big X in my mind to stay away from craiglist.

I have to say I enjoy the site, It is a little bit like a treasure trove of whatevers... You do not know what you might find or who you might meet BUT you do have to be somewhat cautious on there just because there are so many people who could be out to scam others.
