Reinstating my blocked Post account

Hello to whom this my concern. I have always been a loyal supporter of craigslist. I have posts for many years. Not only for my business but for sales as well. I have been blocked for a while now to post a business ad i am looking for a explanation for the reason why i am trying to post for business. Thank you

They do not follow their own policy for listings. Many crude or sexual postings are ignored while other acceptable listings are declined. Even when I flag in appropriate listings, they come back up.

Policy problem. They selectively choose who to allow or not when posting. Hundreds of sexual or policy prohibited postings are ignored continually.

Drafts

I spent an hour typing a draft an it disappeared. Everything is blank. There's no option to delete blank drafts. What is wrong with you?

After waiting for 5 minutes for a verification code to be sent to my email so that my question to craigslist customer support would be sent no verification code was sent to my email. Not right here.

Terrible horrible site

I didn't even click on a single star because Craigslist does not deserve one single star out of five. This is by far the worst site on the web. It is all fake postings cons ripoffs dishonesty. And I'm definitely beginning to believe the employees may be behind some of it. I tried to put a nice warning out on the free section because of a scam that was going on did nothing wrong or said nothing wrong very polite in the posting just warning people and it didn't even get posted it was immediately flagged before it was even posted? How can that possibly happen you may ask? It had to physically be pulled before it was even put up the only person that could do that is a moderator / employee for Craigslist also that posting which was clearly a scam stayed up for days before it was expired I know beyond a doubt everybody was flagging it because it was obviously a fake posting and they don't last more than a couple hours. This is why everybody has left Craigslist for other options and it looks like I'm going to be doing the same thing. I do believe there are employees moderators if you will that grab things that are worth money on the free section before they even get posted and they stop anybody from responding to the posting while they or a friend or family member that they alert because every moderator is from the area that there moderating at least from the same state in most cases the same area I have had countless experiences and so have others where nobody ever responds back but the posting has been taken down by the person that posted it meaning the item has been claimed and gone I could go on and on and on with the unbelievable experiences. Including somebody that tried to start a conversation with me from a missed connection posting that I put out it was not the person they admitted that it wasn't them but they wanted to talk and I said no thanks not interested my posting was immediately flagged and removed again absolutely nothing wrong with the posting at all. Ever since then I've had nothing but problems not being able to message people that have something posted then I send a complaint and it stops for a couple of weeks and then it's right back to the same thing. I have no doubt Craigslist is corrupt the employees are corrupt and I'm sure it goes much much deeper than what I know. I would stay away from Craigslist it is a useless site now, loaded with trash, fake postings cons and scams as well as viruses from what I'm told and I do believe my phone has been compromised as a result of using Craigslist. Stay away no good.

Can’t find my posting

I spend hours working on getting a posting through renting my condo. When I went looking for it myself, knowing what to look for, I was not able to find it. I would appreciate it very much. If somebody would call me and help me either list it or find the listing and let me know how they found it. Thank you

Hired them to do some exterior work and they wanted paid for work they didn't do.

Original review Jul 17, 2023
Found these two THIEVES, Scott and Gema Kun on craigslist July 2023. They showed up in a raggedy minivan that looks like they live in it. Scott quoted a price for roof work that was reasonable, but he and his wife did a poor job. They became aggressive and tried to bully and threaten me into paying them more money, but I refused. A quick google search revealed they are known SCAMMERS in the Pittsburgh to Lower Burrell area with long rap sheets. They have been arrested and sued numerous times, see pics. They change their business name when the bad reviews and lawsuits catch up to them. They used to do business as MGS contracting, google it. Now they are using the name Expert Exteriors Inc Roofing. Do not invite these criminals to your home! I had to watch both of them the whole time they were here thinking she would ransack the house looking for cash while Scott was keeping me distracted. They are opportunistic CAREER CRIMINALS and only want money. They have no intention of doing the job you hire them for. They are NOT insured and I have to pay someone else to fix the damage and big mess they left. If you see this ad on craigslist, don't waste you time. ROOFING AND RESTORATION (Pittsburgh and surrounding areas) ALL EXTERIOR CONTRACTING and some interior... Roofing (shingle, metal and rubber; both glue down and torch down) Siding Soffit Fascia Windows Doors And more We will beat ANY legit bid by 10% Looking for quality contracting... Call (724) 558-**** This ad couldn't be further from the truth.

Someones harrasment flagging

Updated by user Jul 12, 2023
I will not pay for advertising with the unavailability of customer service and letting anyone flag a posting that is not overlooked before the posting is reviewed by Craigslist administrators. This is a playground for vindictive behavior and harassment

I have been trying to adopt my Goldendoodle puppies an adoptee has adopted and returned the puppy due to medical reasons and now wants the puppy back after 2 weeks of wanting and not wanting besides lying about her adoption form. She has been flagging all my posts continuously and daily

Craigslist keeps declining my debit card.

My problem and complaint was resolved by calling customer service with the extension number provided by Pissed Consumer, leaving a message and a subsequent prompt call back from CL customer service. The representative not only helped me resolve the 3 day long, frustrating problem of having my valid, sufficiently funded debit card declined, but discovered that the problem was due to an obscure banking information error.

Issues with my account

I placed a post over five years ago. I have not used craigslist since then and all my old posts are being reproduced on craigslist and I cant make these calls and text stop. I cannot get into my old account and no one will answer my emails or reports on this account on the point of changing my phone number but Ive had my number for over 14 years. Dont want to change it just need someone to respond and fix this issue

Scammed

Good afternoon, A couple weeks ago I saw a listing for concert tickets (3 for $600) and I contacted them and they gave me all the information needed to send the money and then how they would email me the tickets through Ticketmaster. After I sent the money they accepted it and removed their listing and blocked me so I could not contact them anymore. Luckily I screenshotted the listing and all the information about it. Can you please get me my money back?

Regarding post id 761578****- Mercedes Benz 320 CLK-

The images are missing from the post! I have ben trying to contact soeone for help without success! I have call every phone number I could find without success. I believe that this is a good service. However for someone using for the first time it is very difficult. Cannot find ad as quickly as I should if at all.
