Craigslist Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GB__3D JB (@GB__3D) reported

    @SievaKozinsky Had an issue with my dryer so I called an Appliance Repair company I found on Craigslist. Started asking the tech questions about the business. Says he goes on 20-30 appointments/day @ $95 just for him to show up. Average repair is about $330 minus cost of parts. Unreal margins

  • WhitebreadHill The Unknown Cat (@WhitebreadHill) reported

    @BigTanGringo Mine is a 50 year old GE model designed to vent outdoors ...$30 on craigslist about 5 years ago. I rigged some AC vent to fit and the only trouble is to remind Julie to use it. The motor was loud, so she hated it ...fixing that as we speak.

  • LivFaustDieJung Ukraine Memes for NATO Teens (@LivFaustDieJung) reported

    My entire life I have gotten either hand me down TVs as relatives replaced theirs or lucked into a great Craigslist deal for an older (nice) TV. I just bought my first *new* TV ever and donated mine. 75in Samsung LED Smart TV for $509. I am absurdly happy about this.

  • State_of_MN TheStateofMinnesota (@State_of_MN) reported

    @korymouse2 @HeckinGoodDogs You do realize that animal rights groups literally shut down all avenues for "finding a new home" for your pet other than surrendering them to a shelter right? Shut down Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Also, prob not related, adoption fees have double since then.

  • Daniel_Spenrath Daniel Spenrath (@Daniel_Spenrath) reported

    @ClementSWWan @sivori SEO is slow. And classifieds like Craigslist grow very slow. Basically city by city. I'm copying competitors and hoping to eventually get purchased by competitors. Speed to market is not a big issue for me.

  • Shain_the_King Shain 🇺🇲 🅿️🩸 (@Shain_the_King) reported

    @AuntSueNomie The worst this the government did was to push craigslist to take down personals , because it pushed Prostitution and esscorts out into mainstream social media , even the DOJ thought it was a bad idea .

  • EdMakowski Ed Makowski (@EdMakowski) reported

    @Robby_DeGraffAP I never seem to have the experiential frustrations other people have with marketplace. Found it to be a generally painless platform. But I also have no problem asking questions and a pretty developed intuition. Yeah, lots of crickets at Craigslist lately.

  • Latthew_Batthew Surfing Pikachu 🌊⚡🐭 (@Latthew_Batthew) reported

    @Robby_DeGraffAP I find that while the volume is way down on craigslist ($5/post for cars + FB marketplace) that it ends up filtering out a lot of garbage especially if you are searching by owner. Outside mid>large metros though it gets real rough

  • DonShift3 Don Shift (buy my books) (@DonShift3) reported

    @ChestyPullerGst When the armory is in the weapons storage areas are broken open and a lot of people are going to be 81mm owners. Craigslist 2026: “0341/11C Wanted.”

  • AuntyBae1 Aunty Bae (@AuntyBae1) reported

    @Daaalllas Currently watching how to fix a drug scandal. But I just finished worst roommate ever and the Craigslist Killer. Recommend anything?

  • rdegges Randall Degges (@rdegges) reported

    I was really depressed and felt like I had let everyone in my life down. I figured that the next best thing to do would be to get a job and start saving money, so I opened up Craigslist and started looking for IT jobs.

    @UncyBucky @Leekshooter Imagine if you neighbor down the street just got out of prison, stole you canoe from your yard when you weren't around, and posted it on craigslist the very next day for sale. He actually did that to someone once.

  • sissynicole69 sissynicole (@sissynicole69) reported

    @cd_kelli Used to have a lot of luck on Craigslist before they shut it down can you recommend any other places I am 100% bottom but I have to admit I would definitely put my tongue in your ***

  • emikoyama emi koyama (@emikoyama) reported

    for the last 10+ years i've been buying used chairs off craigslist and such and kept riding it until it completely broke down or replacement parts would cost more than the used chair itself. they were often not right size or did not have right features but i got by. …

  • mazzywayz chase 🪩 (@mazzywayz) reported

    SO many people selling taylor tickets on craigslist hope something terrible happens to them

  • AriT93 Ari Turetzky (@AriT93) reported

    @dots731 Mastodon hasn’t been terrible so far. And seems to be the place everyone is hanging out while waiting to see how it all turns out. Hive has lots of naked people so I think they’re going for the Craigslist crowd.

  • RecipeForShrimp MOJ (@RecipeForShrimp) reported

    @HilltopHopeful @BleacherReport @EANitty Money is not the issue, people on craigslist give away TVs that are essentially worthless that blow this one out of the water

  • CashlinRap Cashlin (@CashlinRap) reported

    Dudes walking around in realtree wishing the craigslist m4m sections never got taken down. Im not necessarily hating its just a really weird cultural hypocrisy

  • gunpeiyokoifan Almost 2023 (@gunpeiyokoifan) reported

    I wish I were in Massieland damn Craigslist roommates let me down

  • Space_turtle1 Sam Landis (@Space_turtle1) reported

    @patfkauffman Excellent. My experience with Twitter only dates back to April, but it was a mess. It seemed run down. There were a lot of weird bots or tweets that were scams. Kinda like old school craigslist.

  • FluentinTrauma Steven Riley (@FluentinTrauma) reported

    @nathaliejacoby1 My boy leo I saved him from some pretty terrible people who wanted to sell him on Craigslist to some dog fighters to use as bait. Had him 5 years and love him more than anything else on this planet

  • BandITJuicebar Benson & Ithaca Technologies (insert blue check) (@BandITJuicebar) reported

    @theLouisianaMan @ModeratorGage I'm gonna guess it's not just JD currently experiencing that issue. I used search the janky sections of Craigslist to find the junkyard / diamond in the rough machines & hoped I could put it somewhat together or swap parts in/out.

  • yvkoff Liane Yvkoff (@yvkoff) reported

    @Robby_DeGraffAP It’s my personal opinion that Craigslist founder craig new mark feels bad for destroying newspapers and is letting his product die a slow and painful death as penance

  • Ledgerlinez1 Ledger_Linez (@Ledgerlinez1) reported

    I remember ******** and Craigslist was popular for that at one time. They shut it down bcoz of child trafficking and ****.

  • seller11 Stephanie Eller (@seller11) reported

    indeed WHITE APPLIANCES * $50 on craigslist * free on trash night in silver-appliance neighbourhoods * every fix is $50 in parts and takes an hour * 20 years old already and good for another 20 * whole system understandable * blank canvas for you to (2/3)

  • brettostamm Bretto (@brettostamm) reported

    @GoodJuJuGuru If only there was a way to type a question somewhere and get a straight answer. Hopefully somebody can find the solution to this complicated problem. If not, maybe you can go on Craigslist and post your problem there. Good luck!

  • ajchavar AJ (@ajchavar) reported

    Digital advertising rates, classifieds vs craigslist, etc. These were not issues that journalists created. Many were/are in fact acutely aware of the issues at play! Reporters jobs are not to negotiate ad rates or do competitive analyses of businesses in the same segment.

  • Cats4mice ancientgreek (@Cats4mice) reported

    @Sammer1944 No problem. We’ve been watching the plot since he came down that escalator to his Craigslist-hired crowd.

  • ChetSucks Gary Wallace (@ChetSucks) reported

    @micsolana @AladinKumar1 Yes it’s cumulative but it excludes friends & family payments. The real problem is that it ensnares people selling used stuff on eBay/craigslist. You’re now required to prove to the IRS you sold the goods for less than you paid, or you get taxed on sales as if it were income.
