Sometimes Craigslist Sucks :::
 

I ran an ad on Craigslist a few days ago. The ad cost me $25 and before I knew it - the ad had been flagged & removed. So I just threw $25 down the drain?

I sent an email to Craigslist telling them to put my fucking ad back up or I'll be doing a chargeback. Paid ads should be protected from flaggers. Haven't yet heard back from them :mad:

This ever happened to you?

that's pretty fucking gay

Yes it has.

Good luck getting an answer.

Most of the time I just post free now.

What a rip off! Seriously shake some fists over there!

You had to pay for an ad? I run ads on there all the time for models and never have to pay, nor have I ever had an ad flagged and removed :Oh crap

I run the free as well most of the time.

However, I have had them flagged and removed in the past. How to word your ads is key to keeping them from being flagged. It is a real trick.
'

what did the ad say that it was flagged and removed?

What was the ad and what was the reason for the flag and removal?

I never paid for any ad on cl, didn't know they charged for some ads :2 cents:

We've got a nazi flagger presently on my local CL. Doesn't really matter what it is or how it's worded, everything get's flagged. It's become pretty much worthless. Some kid I guess, hopefully they'll get bored and move on to something else.

They are on every CL.

Go read the forums, or whatever section that is. However, that said, it takes more than one Nazi to get your ad removed. It has something to do with many people flagging it, and different IP, and within a period of time to get it removed.

what a ripoff.

I never knew they charged for ads. Mine are always free.

Same here. I am using it for free. hmmn. I missed that part.

Damn, I must be lucky. I never worry about how I word my ads, of course, I don't give out too much info. I will be sure to keep that in mind when I run my next ads :winkwink:

They charge for certain types of ads depending on what category you are listing them in.

I wasn't running ads for models. I'm looking for another assistant to join my crew. It was an employment ad. If I haven't heard from CL by tonight, I'll call Visa and take care of it. Was just curious if you guys had any issues like that.

paid should remain. Whats the point of paying if that happens? Isn't that why they started charging for some ads? To eliminate that issue?

What a great opportunity for the right person :winkwink:

That's messed up for sure...

Yup, I wasted $75 x5 times there in the jobs sections. IF YOU DONT LIKE ADULT JOBS THEN DONT READ MY ADS GOD DAMN IT

that's pretty stupid, if someone pays for an ad they should definitely keep it there, OR craigslist should not accept the ad + money in the first place

:thumbsup

Yeah, it does. If your ad does not back up, make sure you get the money back

Sorry Dean, What did your add say?

damn thats whack

That is so ridiculous for them to remove it. Did you use the word 'fluffer' by any chance?

Just charge it back.

I would charge back. Damn clowns.

What do you mean by assistant? Duties? Hours? Pay?
I may be able to help....
