Craigslist

[Mathius]

Maybe someone who uses craigslist often could help me out. I have an account there, and have sold there in the past successfully, but lately whenever I list an ad, it doesn't seem to show up.

I don't know if it is a browser issue because I am using firefox in ubuntu linux, but I cannot seem to get any results in making my ads show up.



Does anyone else run into this problem? Craigslist help page says that it should up within 15 minutes as long as you refresh. I have waited an entire night and not seen it come up despite submitting it twice.

Any help would be appreciated. I am about to take on a greater financial responsibility and I am trying to eliminate my storage unit. It would be much easier to sell some of my larger items in a local forum.

i use it all the time and I also have an account. Everytime I list something, I always get an confirmation e-mail. Are you getting anything in your e-mail?

No, I get no e-mails.

There should be an email confirming the ad. Possibly getting stuck in a spam filter or going to another address?

What happens when you try to post an ad without using your account?

Huh. I think it was just a dumb mistake on my part. I don't think I ever clicked the "continue" link after they show your ad, because I tried it one more time(in win xp this time) and got a new screen with a confirmation picture.

I also got the confirmation e-mail.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Sounds like maybe spam. Why would someone require me to e-mail them back to discuss it? Why not just include her inquiries in HER message?

And also there is not one mention in there of the item except in the e-mail title (which I omitted because this is not a sale ad and I don't want the mods to be pissed).

It looks like a generic response to me.

I would say 99% chance it is a scam.
