Craigslist Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ebeereme_ Big_7 ⛺👩🏽‍🦰 (@ebeereme_) reported

    The trade, payment, and escrow are all coordinated automatically. No centralized server, no middleman. It’s a fully decentralized eBay or Craigslist built on intents. This kind of marketplace leverages Anoma’s cross-chain matching to unlock value locked on smaller chains.

  • protanope smith (@protanope) reported

    @no_earthquake (there is none. as we didn’t impose clear regulations & industry standards to pay news agencies for content-stealing & ad-revenue-loss, in 30 yrs since craigslist, we’re not gonna fix it now. only ‘solution’ is failure of ai to be profitable & google/ms bailing entirely🤞)

  • LuluAddict Lulu Addict (@LuluAddict) reported

    @LibertyJen You have to price it higher and let people “bargain” you down to the price you want. Craigslist people never want to pay the stated or even agreed-upon price. One reason we don’t sell on there anymore.

  • etirabys bayesian asian (41/50 paintings) (@etirabys) reported

    A stupid problem: I moved into a large house which we don't have enough furniture for, and I'm too scared to spend money on furniture bc we just spent so much money on the house. But I don't want to get cheap craigslist stuff 'for now' bc getting rid of big furniture is a pain.

  • PenGwenWithLC Gwen B. with LC🦩🌺 (@PenGwenWithLC) reported

    @lsthart If I put a wanted sign in Craigslist for anything its going to be for a roommate who cleans up after themselves

  • GuloGulo666 Jake (@GuloGulo666) reported

    @AlaskasList I placed an ad there once. Sold the item off of Craigslist but got fair exposure. The only problem was- I couldn’t remove the ad! For over a year I got calls on that boat!

  • IshKabibble8 Queen Victoria (@IshKabibble8) reported

    @PGE4Me your new website is terrible, starting with the login process, trying to see my usage, but it doesn’t work, or I’m not authorized, when I scroll down to site feedback, that link takes you somewhere else. Stay away from web designers on Craigslist,

  • DirdeeD Vyd Dirdeed (@DirdeeD) reported

    I can't remember what day, I think it was like a week ago.... Craigslist took down three of my ads. I met a couple cool people.

  • DadWithBills TJ Kong (@DadWithBills) reported

    @JackPosobiec I never understood why Police used to try to get the ***** side of Craigslist shut down during the day. The vice squad should have been able to make their quotas just surfing from their desks no problem.

  • JasonGiedymin Jason (@JasonGiedymin) reported

    Absolutely. The spam is suuuuch a problem and Craigslist is riddled with it. All these devs that work for these platforms and they can’t come up with a system to solve it? I don’t buy that. +10000 for keyword stuffing irrelevant words on products. Also deal with BS reviews too. Amazon is full of it. I think all the platforms today can’t do it. They’ve built so much around the BS they’re afraid to move the needle in case it lowers revenue.

  • ohsethy Seth Vargas (@ohsethy) reported

    Thinking of the time I responded to a Craigslist ad looking for actors for a movie, only to show up for the audition and find out it was a lady that wanted me to pretend I was an intimidating cop friend to shake down her ex boyfriend. She was convinced I was right for the job.

  • JBPVFM Blackhat Casper (@JBPVFM) reported

    @BudsAllDayCast Sweet Lou was going to solve all the worlds problems - Craigslist's new "culture" was a belly flop.....like I keep saying - if Burke couldn't fix it, no one can.

  • SaulFloresJr Saul Flores Jr. (@SaulFloresJr) reported

    You remind me of a younger version of me. I used to buy and sell tvs on Craigslist, Offerup, and Facebook Marketplace but before I was great, I had an issue with confidence. I had to force myself to call customers and I eventually got really good at negotiating and talking with strangers through practice. It helped that I was desperate so I had no choice but to call customers. Posting on X is no different.

  • Pardon_Me_Again Rusty and Rotten ☘️ (@Pardon_Me_Again) reported

    @FDellarosanera I bought mine used of craigslist 6 years ago. pretty sure the dude droped it off the back of a truck because I hade to fix all the bent pullies for the blade belts. (just bent them back). Been running great ever since.

  • RomineFranklin franklin romine (@RomineFranklin) reported

    @NewsLambert Craigslist job postings are significantly down

  • QCshhhh World Class Hater (@QCshhhh) reported

    @PDPThePatriot @llandoniffirg He bought it used on Craigslist. I went and took a look at it last week. More trouble than it was worth. Squeeky bearings and quite possibly a worn out O-ring. Good luck to him.

  • badvladabaddon b@dmoonrising (@badvladabaddon) reported

    Anyway we had that apartment for something like 9 months and then the lease was up and I had to move into a room I rented in a trailer I found on Craigslist, my ex moved somewhere, Alaska I think. So I was halfway living in my car, would drive down to the valley every weekend to see my side chick and hit a party/rave. After a few months of that I drove across the country for the Lost Lands Festival in '18, met Jaren's sister and fell immediately in love with her. We could have made it but idk maybe I was too much of a coward to leave everything behind.

    @Keepthespiritup Bro, get back to me let talk on the Craigslist issue

  • hdultra2 James R Cordill (@hdultra2) reported

    @atensnut She’s obviously got it down to a science she’s been useless for a good 25 years. If she go home, maybe Paul would get off of craigslist

  • ATXVideos Austin Videos (@ATXVideos) reported

    @JenRobichaux That's why I still check Craigslist to find anything good before it gets snatched up (usually quickly) and hope to find something soon. Tired of not working and constantly running into scams... It's gotten out of hand in Austin.

  • dransick1 Dan Ransick (@dransick1) reported

    @HawkeyeSource A scumbag guy from a scumbag program. Shut it down! Look at how they turned a high moral character like Snyder into a low life pants dropping Craigslist ****** chasin pervert!

  • Truelove1771 AlisonTruelove (@Truelove1771) reported

    I put my adult novelty items on Craigslist. Someone just picked them up from the safe meeting spot. Went to take down my ad, and it had already been flagged by some prude and removed. Ppl are so weird, lol

  • toddpayne01 Todd Payne (@toddpayne01) reported

    @Patriot_N_Chief @Hunter_Eagleman Damn now there’s gonna be a whole bunch of craigslist ads looking for the biggest baddest bad asses who don’t back down! Better break out the water cannons and have them on standby.

  • mayuronx Mayur (@mayuronx) reported

    Customers care about getting results in one place quickly, not your tech stack. Go look at Craigslist. UX isn't fancy, but it works. It delivers a result consistently and hasn't changed much in more than 10 years. Now go look at Ebay. UX is a mess. Hard to use. Didn't innovate vs FB Marketplace. Same with Paypal. Max pain to do anything. Stripe won. Make stuff easier for humans. Solve a pressing problem that causes max pain. Win.

  • elron6900 Elron Steele (@elron6900) reported

    @AinsleyInc @edmontonjournal The main issue IMO is that lMO is that local newspapers were unable to adapt to a new reality that includes a LOT less physically printed media. They had the chance to jump in early and innovate, but they let Craigslist eat their Classifieds cake, and the rest was history

  • a_greenberg Andy Greenberg (@agreenberg at the other places) (@a_greenberg) reported

    The operations that use these markets enslave tens of thousands of people across SE Asia. As former prosecutor Erin West puts it, Telegram has "the ability to shut down a scam economy and the trafficking of human beings. Instead, they’re hosting Craigslist for crypto scammers.”

  • SoftballDadx074 Kyle (@SoftballDadx074) reported

    @TheOnlyEsta Don’t forget to collect your $200 for faux outage. See your local Craigslist for details.

  • CherokeeJay80 JAYHAWK (@CherokeeJay80) reported

    Does everyone have the same problem of only having people that look like they belong on Craigslist to follow you and not to mention the numbers fake accounts as well. Does any of this madness ever get to a point where to stop and get better at some point?

  • bank_nino Niño🏳️‍🌈 (@bank_nino) reported

    When I was bout 20 I went to buy a canoe from a dude on Craigslist. I get there and I’m like I don’t have a way to get it home but I’ll pay ya if we figure it out. So he gets straps and ratchets and he’s like here, and I say u gotta show me how to ratchet it down, and he said:

  • BishopFromArk Bishop (@BishopFromArk) reported

    @karol @micsolana You literally don’t need brokers for apartments. It will sort itself out. I bypassed a broker in Boston who was trying to shake me down for $2k for creating a Craigslist add. Instead I went directly to the building and contacted the owner to rent on the spot.
