Craigslist Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Cammiluna Cammi 💚 (@Cammiluna) reported

    @GalaxinaPeachy Everytime NYC makes regulations, the landlords instantly find ways to cheat the system. Last year, broker fees became illegal, so craigslist postings were just taken down and reposted with higher rents. They are scum.

  • ROADDEATHNHRA **** MAN (@ROADDEATHNHRA) reported

    @carenkarpenter I’ve sold video games and systems on craigslist before never used facebook found buyers right away and had no issue if you are worried about safety most police stations have areas to sell things from online outside of them with cameras

  • theroxyd Rox 🐧 (@theroxyd) reported

    my okcupid account is broken and i just need someone to shave the back of my head in my backyard with a mask. what ever happened to craigslist?

  • TomhasHuhnke tomhas (@TomhasHuhnke) reported

    i can't stand finding places to rent. it's soo awful- Zillow is terrible, Craiglist is just slightly better, and everything else is already owned by zillow lmao i just want to find a house that isn't falsely listed as a "basement unit" or "triplex" like.. verify your posts damn

  • opieatlaw duchess of cambridge (@opieatlaw) reported

    @lizettms The only problem is that the government jobs would be a 2 hour commute each way. I'll check craigslist though. So far, every site has had fewer jobs than indeed. I think there just aren't a lot of jobs.

  • lovellylester yana🪐little witchy ******* ! (@lovellylester) reported

    @NlKlCHU YEAH SOMEONE PUT IT UP ON CRAIGSLIST A FEW DAYS AGO AND WE GOT IT TAKEN DOWN BUT THEY PUT IT UP ON FACEBOOK NOW......

  • TheSmartCat42 TheSmartCat (@TheSmartCat42) reported

    @MalwareJake Last time I tried to sell something it was a washer dryer set for an ex I attempted to sell on Craigslist. I got so many fake offers and creeps that I took down the ad.

  • Brizzleboybill Brizzle Bill (@Brizzleboybill) reported

    That guy from Hot Girls Wanted was one of the creepiest people in the world “Yeah I lure 18 year olds girls off Craigslist away from home to do progressively more hardcore porn before sending em home broken and penniless, it’s pretty tight”

  • ca_thrift CA (@ca_thrift) reported

    Trying my luck for a third time w this craigslist movie shirt guy. I think I got him down to $325 a few months ago and his ****'s been sitting. I max at $300!!

  • dutchman59 Ray Middleton (@dutchman59) reported

    @cyclingtips I feel sure all wheel manufactures have this same issue. China wheels knock off's. The problem is how does the consumer tell these are not OEM wheels. Look on eBay, craigslist and you will find but can not tell real from fake.

  • ThisAgain2992 jake (@ThisAgain2992) reported

    @dirtsquirrel2 i used to have a 1 1/2 hp baileigh industrial one i found on craigslist (like a couple hundred bucks but took some work to get it running well) but it was multi axis on a stand and had a few different radii. it was super solid and i never had problems with it

  • pressyice Gilgamesh (@pressyice) reported

    Have cut my Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist time down to 3 hours a day. I don’t even need anything, I just like to see what other people are selling.

  • iiimRatha siracha (@iiimRatha) reported

    @DJBBKID I think I got my first Xbox from Craigslist and dude scammed me. I learned how to fix it and ended buying every red ring Xbox I could. $$$

  • CommonSenseGuy4 Arthur Vandalay (@CommonSenseGuy4) reported

    @rohamg Limit rare packs to actual users, not new “users” who sell on eBay/Craigslist. This was an unforced error and should never happen again.

  • farmerjim13 Jim (@farmerjim13) reported

    @FoulkShay The later ones like you have are great I think. The early 2000s had head gasket issues from poor block design, and they're a dime a dozen on craigslist. Toyotas here for life.

  • Rey902 A. Rey (@Rey902) reported

    @kaceymontoya Dog thefts are on the rise because pet sales are on the rise due to Covid. Criminals taking advantage of opportunity, This dog will probably turn up on Craigslist for sale. This has become a huge issue in the UK as well.

  • jallenmorgs Justin Allen Morgan (@jallenmorgs) reported from Atlanta, Georgia

    @haydensandiego I had a guy post nudes of me and my number on Craigslist once. He was demented and I started getting all these nasty pics and texts at my uncle's funeral off all times... Couldn't even grieve because I was getting them taken down.

  • smiteri Eric S. Smith (@smiteri) reported

    Craigslist: [continues to exist] Torstar: Stupid romance novels, dragging us down! People in 2021: [happily pay for genre fiction, will only read news for free]

  • ikarufox Raspberry Fox (@ikarufox) reported

    Meeting someone to buy a pc off Craigslist that I don’t need. But it’s such a good deal I can’t turn it down..

  • bungaloboi ʙᴀʟᴅᴡɪɴ ɪᴠ (@bungaloboi) reported

    @MissingMichiga1 @shannonrwatts again, i dont have problems with those because craigslist actually has legal obligations to identify the buyers, so if the gun is sold to a person barred from having it it will be confiscated.

  • mazihe Ihe Onwuka (@mazihe) reported

    So I typed in platform lift into craigslist looking for someone to fix a wheelchair lift and it returned me two listing looking for full stack software engineers.

  • TerkWolf Terk Wolf (@TerkWolf) reported

    @Thumperbun I still use Craigslist and never had a problem before. Maybe I'm lucky but I'm also very communicative, repeat instructions and agreements often.

  • Anarcho_Cyclist anarcho-deontologist (@Anarcho_Cyclist) reported

    @imgooley01 @IwriteOK @TatianaTMac And a lot of people can only afford the $600 junk pile from craigslist, which eventually breaks down and is abandoned (because you can't afford the tow) which then gets impounded and you get chased by creditors for years because there is zero chance you can pay the impound fees.

  • Childsouljaboy jon (@Childsouljaboy) reported

    Idk how familiar some of you are with the section of Craigslist that’s got pets up for adoption but I love when it’s an ad for a monkey in broken English that’s obviously a scam and you need to give them your credit card information

  • KingEric2021 Ma$ter Eric (@KingEric2021) reported

    WILL BE BLOCKING ANY RECENT TWITTER JOINS AS I KNOW WHO YOU ARE LOL YOUR DONE CUT OFF GET GONE befor i have an issue to personally address with you stalking as ***** JIM @KingEric2021 ******* worthless subs who never took it seriouse GONE! YOU TWO old locals CRAIGSLIST BYE!

  • CheeseAndGlory Jenn Barnes (@CheeseAndGlory) reported

    The Oven That Would Let Us Die is now in the garage, waiting for a thorough cleaning and photos for a Craigslist ad. Its replacement, a decent GE, has successfully made breakfast, and explicitly states in the manual how to light it during a power outage.

  • aidencalvin Aiden (@aidencalvin) reported

    @HugS86 we had a decent chunk of **** beforehand, but we hunted down some plates and a new bar on craigslist i think? just had to keep looking for things to pop up not sure how we copped the rack but we have a nice one @slime_machine

  • gfejunkie gfejunkie (@gfejunkie) reported

    @AriaSwitch Not sure exactly what happened in the end. Seems that some websites are still alive and well like tryst and Eros. P411 never went away. Maybe the Feds realized this is unenforceable, though ******** and Craigslist personals were shut down. TER used to dominate the industry...

  • LurkAtHomeMom Lurkin' Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) reported

    If you ever start regaining faith in humanity one thing you can try is to interact with someone from Craigslist, that should fix the issue.

  • jon jonw.com (@jon) reported

    I’m having real trouble finding an electrician in Saint Louis. Tried all the obvious stuff (google, Craigslist, asking friends). If you know someone pls DM?
