While Craigslist is a convenient platform for buying, selling, and finding services, complaint data from our community has flagged several recurring issues with how some users experience the site. Common complaints include accounts being unexpectedly blocked, fraudulent listings, and encounters with untrustworthy individuals. Users also report issues with flagged job listings and disputes over funds in transactions that weren’t completed.
To avoid these issues, we strongly advise customers to always verify the legitimacy of listings and individuals before proceeding with any transactions. If problems arise, report suspicious activity to Craigslist immediately, document all interactions, and consider meeting in public places for in-person transactions. Always use escrow services for high-value transactions to protect your funds.
