CL works great in the USA

CL is where I hire employees, find rentals, buy washing machines and sell tools. Wonderful improvement in our lives, although I miss newspaper journalism that CL helped kill by eliminating print ad sales. But somebody would eventually anyway, so it’s a better world for business but a weaker democracy. Somehow here in the States there are no scams or fraud going on, CL is fantastically reliable and strong. But in Europe unfortunately no one uses it, as rental scams and items for sale are often scams. With CL worldwide, if you pay cash for something you can haul away, it works well. Or if you are looking for employees, you can talk to them when they respond to your detailed free ad. Yay details! But the application suffers in rentals and purchases for anything but cash. Rentals are problematic, don’t pay with a credit card ever. Your payment for that apartment in Amsterdam to the owner who is in a different country, that’s why it’s allegedly for rent, goes straight into my personal bank account. Thank you! But CL is an important institution, thank you CL staff for the constant work on the app.

Great ... would love a couple of updates

I would like a way to keep the same filters when I move the map to a different area. Sometimes this works but I don’t think it’s by default. Also, it would be nice if there were a bit more vetting going on with regard to contacting sellers etc. The fishing is truly out of hand. It seems some of the scammers are hiding behind what used to be solid security measures. Perhaps a consumer/seller rating system would also be of use. Reinvention is the mother of transparency. Old complacent ideas make room for all kinds of mischief. Maybe a simple “we’re you able to getting this seller/merchant on the phone” pop up. Then yes or no. Several “no’s” would lead to bad ratings and perhaps some pinpointing and further eliminating this round of scammers who’ve infiltrated the system. Thanks so much. Otherwise, great app.

Photo down load problems

Won’t let me go to a new photo that I gave in my Library ? I can make one listing , then go to make another one and try to download new pictures and it keeps taking me to the ones I just used on the first listing and dosent give me any option to download new pictures until the next day . I normally use Marketplace because it’s so easy to load several items in a few minutes . Craigs list should mimic Marketplace . You are way more difficult to do business with . If I want my phone number on my listing that’s my business. Period. ! Shouldn’t have to click anything to show it , jyst makes it more difficult for potential buyers to get ahold of me . STOP , I’ll be playing around with your service for. 30 days . But if things don’t get easier, I’ll go back to Marketplace and try to hold my Republican tung 🙂

Flayed

I posted a listing for rehoming my kitty… I follow Craigslist’s rules… I asked for a $25 rehoming fee because I got her fixed chipped and her vacations…. I got a message from a guy saying he is interested in getting her… we made plans to meet up at a public place… once it came time to meet he would say that he isn’t sure if he should get her and he would text me like crazy like he knew me and wanted to date me even though I told him I’m married… when I didn’t respond back to him right away he would blow up my phone asking if I’m ok and that I need to answer him right away because he was worried…. So I blocked him and he kept flagging my post and I had to keep reposting my ad… so I had to wait for a couple of weeks to repost my post… I kept trying to contact Craigslist and they never got back to me…. I finally found a great family for our kitty… u need to have better customer service and tell us why our post are flagged….

This is why God created such talented people.

This app favorably compared to OfferUp is actually more intuitive and faster to use as well as share to fb. The 20+ pictures I uploaded were done nearly at a fraction of the speed of light. My only complaint was just recently finding out about this app and feeling like an out of touch grandpa, but don’t worry I’m sure my psychiatrist will prescribe me something that will make me think it’s the medicine making me feel forgetful, and unable to solve the simplest technical challenges. Little does he know I have a real confirmation bias against the so called “placebo effect”. Even sugar pills have sugar in them , hardly a healthy choice. These are the jokes folks. I’ll be here for another hour at least. Tip your servers.🥸

Finally an Official App!

Used CPlus for years. Glad they finally put out an official app. -1 star for what's always been an issue with Craigslist, regardless of platform. Abuse and lax enforcement. Most people on there are fine, but occasionally you run into unhinged people, and there is no help or recourse. I understand it's a small (and often free!) operation, but there are solutions. At the very least, they should be scanning for ads which are substantially the same and not allowing them. The most recent abuser I got didn't like that I took 45 min to respond to his text and got it in his mind that I was a scammer. So he copied my entire ad, including pictures, and added "this is a scam" to it, in multiple places. The pics at the very least, particularly in the same city, should be enough to flag based off some hash and prevent them from posting. I emailed the contact us for faked ads and never heard back. I didn't get any responses to my ad for a week until I could flag it enough times from different connections and devices to have it removed. Not cool. Imagine for people who have their contact info revenge posted.

Too many multiple duplicate dealer adds

There are way to many dealers allowed to fill CL listings with their multiple adds for the same vehicles. They purposely inflate the values and spread their overpriced vehicles so much that it makes it hard to find the actual real people trying to sell real actual normally priced vehicles, they can try and sell their over inflated price vehicles but they shouldn’t be allowed to purchase so many adds that it makes it almost impossible to even sell a regular vehicle for a regular price because people never get to see the real non dealer junk adds, there should be some limits especially to dealers, this isn’t the Sunday paper where one can just spend money on advertising. Dealers should pay more and NOT be allowed to run duplicate adds. Dealers should have to follow the rules and should have to register as a dealer. And if they run adds then it should be labeled dealer and treated as an add at an additional advertising cost.

Decent, Useful

I turned to this app bc my preferred app for navigating Craigslist does not function properly anymore. I was happy to find an official CL app. While it does not have all the features I’m used to, it is a decent app that is very useful. The one improvement that it really needs is an alternative way of handling seeing more ads by the same user. Once you click that option and see the ads by the same user, removing that filter doesn’t return you to where you were in the list of ads you were originally viewing. Rather, it boots you back to the top of the list. That discourages me from using the option to view other ads by the same user bc I don’t want to then have to scroll past ads I’ve already seen. To the developer: please find a way to preserve viewing location when this filter is removed.

Craigslist & I, 20 years summed up!!

I’ve been using craigslist for many years now probably The early 2000s and with no complaint’s. Before smart phones craigslist was go to for everyone, if you needed to find work or anything else. Like the newspaper but on steroids because you could look in every state Quick and efficiently, So I’m very grateful for all the opportunities Craigslist has made available to me. Now I have my own company and I use craigslist to advertise, networking and searching for that great deal. Plus some many hours of entertainment for me just navigating through everything. I’ve purchased so many amazing deals over the years. Think lotto “you gotta be in it to win it”. The CL apps are very user-friendly and simple to navigate and consistently getting better. CL keeps it very affordable to the world as well for smaller businesses like mine. Craigslist will always be part of my arsenal and I highly recommend them to everyone and for anything you need in your life. Thanks Craigslist!!! Thomas

Craigslist is my go to place when I want to give away good stuff and no hassels

Whenever I’m wanting to get rid of things I don’t need anymore, or the kids grew out of… I don’t donate to charity, (they charge too much! I donate to my community by posting it in Modesto Craigslist free stuff, I just box or bag it up, post it as a curb alert, and someone who’s in need comes picks it up! That simple no hassels, but my number 1 rule of thumb is… I never give what I wouldn’t receive. In other words, I don’t post about “junk” if it’s stained or something I wouldn’t want.. I throw it away, I always post good items that are clean, working order. There’s nothing worse than going to pick up and you realize it’s just dirty trash! So always remember to give what you would like to receive. Craigslist is an awesome outlet to do the good works you need to do.
