Contact craigslist: local marketplace | Customer Service/Support 2024 - JustUseApp (2024)

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….

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.

Easy to use and looks good, better than using CL on the browser. There’s easy tabs for navigating and you can easily manage postings and see which are active and renew with one click. Photos upload easily. Switching around photos to change which is the primary is MUCH easier on the app than in browser where you have to do touch screen acrobatics to move photos around. My only issue isn’t with the app but Craigslist in general and that’s the vague rules about pet posts and “free to good homes”, whether they’re allowed or not and there’s some algorithm that either deletes rehoming posts immediately based on certain words? or users are allowed to spend hours just flagging any ads that compete with their home-based animal rescue. Either way, the real victims are the animals that people end up abandoning because there’s no easy way to find good new homes.
