I am looking to rehome four American Bully puppies, who are all vaccinated, for a small fee to ensure they find good homes quickly. I have reviewed all the rules and other posts on the platform, and I see that others are successfully rehoming pets like I am trying to do. However, each time I attempt to create a post, it gets flagged right away. I am unsure of what I am doing wrong and how I can follow the guidelines to get my post up and running. It has been a frustrating experience over the last three days, and I have adhered to all terms and conditions. I kindly request assistance in understanding the issue better. Thank you, Craigslist.

Hello, I would like to address an issue I am experiencing with my Craigslist Orange County account, which is registered under the email [redacted] Lately, I have noticed that some of the ads I have posted have been flagged. All of my ads follow a consistent and straightforward format, with my name included in each one. I am puzzled as to why they would be flagged by others. I primarily post in the collectibles/sports cards category, where competition can be fierce. I have realized that posts can be flagged based on a single complaint, regardless of its validity, as per your terms. This aspect is confusing to me. I am interested in posting more items, but if they are going to be removed unjustly, it may not be worth my time. I kindly request that my removed posts be reinstated.

I'm having trouble keeping my ad for a Craftsman riding lawnmower live on Craigslist. It keeps getting removed, even though I'm a genuine user following all the rules. This has happened over 17 times on 5/9/19 alone. I feel like I might be targeted unfairly and receive unwanted messages. I've adjusted my settings to allow only calls to avoid spam, but the ad keeps being taken down. Can someone please assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you, Rob.

I recently advertised a travel trailer for sale in various Florida locations. A couple from Valdosta, GA, reached out after finding the listing and came to Winter Springs, FL, to view the trailer. They expressed interest in buying it, with the purchase planned for about 10 days later. I then removed the listings from Craigslist. However, the purchaser contacted me yesterday, saying an emergency prevented them from completing the sale. When I checked my account, it showed the listings as "Removed," which I find confusing. I need to get these travel trailer listings back up on Craigslist promptly. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could contact me to clarify what happened and guide me on how to resolve this issue.

There is a seller named George or Ivory in Harvey/Marrero on Mac Arthur Street on Craigslist who sells faulty appliances without a business license. His contact number is [redacted]. Craigslist should take action against such sellers to protect legitimate businesses. They need to ensure that sellers have proper licenses to operate. This individual, using the names George and Ivory, has been taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers. It's important to raise awareness and prevent scams on Craigslist. Personal information should not be shared with such sellers. George or Ivory, along with his wife Jackie, must be stopped from misleading customers and selling substandard products.

I recently discovered an ad offering a free washer and dryer in Arnold, Missouri, with contact details for Erin, my phone number. Although I reside in Arnold and share the name Erin, I did not create this ad. I have been bombarded with calls and texts, starting as early as 5 a.m. today. Despite contacting Craigslist's help site yesterday, I haven't even received a confirmation email. It is beyond frustrating that my information is displayed without my consent, and the inability to reach someone by phone for an immediate resolution is unacceptable.

I'm a bit confused. I understand that Craigslist allows users to post items for sale on various sites. I'm not very tech-savvy, but I assume if someone is struggling to post something for sale on a site with rules and regulations, a site representative should help figure out the issue. I'd appreciate it if a representative could review my post and assist me in getting it approved and listed correctly. If this is unclear, I'll attempt to seek help elsewhere.

I suspect a scam involving receiving a check to cash and then sending a money transfer through Walmart to a supposed "Moving Company." The individual claims to be from St. Paul, MN. The check is from the Academy of Head and Neck Surgery in Alexandria, Virginia, dated 6/11/19, but the envelope came from Minneapolis, MN dated 6/10/19. When I questioned the origins of the check, they said it was payment for work done for the academy. When asked why they couldn't pay the moving company directly, they evaded the question. I informed them I would wait for the check to clear before making any transfer. They insisted on getting a partial amount for the moving company, but I declined. I plan to involve the authorities if the check turns out to be fraudulent and catch the person expecting to pick it up in Minneapolis, MN.

Subject: Encounter at Eickhoff’s Shopping Center, Cinnaminson Encountered a striking brunette with sunglasses walking to her car in the parking lot. She might have had highlights and was possibly coming from the nail salon near Best Cuts. She took a phone call by her car, and our eyes met briefly before I was left awestruck. My details: blonde hair, sunglasses, grey and black t-shirt, maroon athletic shorts. Hopefully, you see this and we can connect. (Note: You didn't violate any community standards with your post.)

I encountered a woman named Tina on Craigslist under housekeeping services. Tina advertised house cleaning but didn't mention she doesn't clean windows, feeling it was misleading. When I pointed this out, she responded harshly, resorting to name-calling, threats, and offensive language. In response, I expressed my frustration, reported the incident to the police, and plan to report her to the BBB. I have evidence of her inappropriate behavior, including text messages and a voicemail. I believe removing her from Craigslist or reporting her would be beneficial. I advise against engaging her services and believe her unprofessionalism reflects poorly on the platform.

I have been a victim of fraud where someone has been forging my name on checks for Craigslist purchases. Despite my attempts to contact the customer service team, I have not received a response. If anyone is receiving checks from Mitchell Oxygen in Kennett, MO, signed by Terri King, please be aware that these are forged signatures and the account does not exist. I have contacted banks, authorities, police, and the FBI regarding this issue. Additionally, forged signatures from Christopher Russell and Maurice Maria have been reported, so please beware and do not accept any checks with their names on them.

Hello! I need assistance with my account and posting. I listed working Jack Russell terriers, but my post was flagged multiple times without explanation. Despite complying with the rules, my posts continue to be deleted immediately. I learned that excessive posting in a short period triggers an auto block assuming fraudulent activity. After waiting a week, my post was still "green ghosted." I seek guidance on resolving this issue. Thank you for your assistance! Best, Jade C.

Hello everyone, I have encountered an issue with my Jack Russell Terrier advertisements being flagged multiple times despite not breaking any rules that I know of. I even tried reaching out to the person who flagged my posts for clarity but did not receive a response. As a result, I unknowingly reposted the same ad multiple times in a short period, leading to automatic deletion by the system. Upon researching, I learned that this behavior triggers the auto bots to block the ad under the suspicion of fraudulent activity, known as "green ghosted." I am seeking advice on how to rectify this situation. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and assistance. Best regards, Jade C.

My 8.29-acre listings for sale in Florida keep getting flagged, but these are legitimate listings. I recently tried to repost my listing, and the new one got flagged too. Here is the listing number: [redacted]. All my listings for this land are being flagged, making them unreadable. I suspect it might be because of a predatory real estate investor who repeatedly contacted me, pushing for a low price on my land despite my clear refusal. I believe this person may be responsible for the constant flagging of my listings. I need assistance in having these unjust flags removed and preventing this individual from maliciously flagging my listings. Selling this land is crucial to me, and Craigslist is my only viable option as I reside out-of-state.

My 8.29-acre land listings in Florida keep getting flagged, including when I tried to repost with listing ID [redacted]. I'm a genuine seller trying to list my property and haven't violated any terms. Wondering if the flags are related to a rude out-of-state man who kept pressuring me with low offers and accusations. Requesting immediate removal of the flags so I can proceed with my listing. Craigslist is crucial for me as an out-of-state seller. I need assistance in addressing this issue and reporting the individual harassing me for his predatory behaviors. Thank you.

On the South Bend, Indiana, "Trailers for Sale by Owner" section, I inquired about a [redacted] Bedron Titan trailer. The seller listed it as 14 feet with tandem axles, made of heavy-duty aluminum, priced at $[redacted]. I initially texted [redacted], and after providing my email, received further communication from [redacted]. A person named Abigail Lorris asked for my address for shipping and mentioned an invoice from eBay. Upon receiving the invoice and being asked to purchase eBay gift cards for payment, I noticed the poor English in the communication and became skeptical. Contacting eBay customer service confirmed it was a scam since the order number on the invoice was invalid. This encounter has left me unimpressed and cautious about future dealings on Craigslist. Sincerely, John Mintefering.

I came across a listing for a Lund boat in Florence, SC. The seller provided two different numbers, one claiming to be the seller's son. Upon contacting the seller via email as instructed, I was told that eBay was handling the sale and asked for my information. eBay then emailed me instructions to purchase the boat with eBay cards. The seller mentioned the boat was in Omaha, Nebraska, and shipping would be free. After checking the son's number, I discovered it was from Delaware. When I checked my eBay account, I found no record of this transaction. It seems to be a scam, and I urge to have this listing removed to prevent others from falling victim to it. These scammers need to be stopped.

I had reached out about an RV listed by a person who claimed the vehicle was at an Ebay shipping center. After contacting them at [redacted], I provided my personal details as requested. Subsequently, I was directed by the supposed Ebay service to purchase multiple pricey eBay gift cards and was even asked to buy an additional expensive refundable gift card for insurance. Realizing it was a scam, I requested a refund, but received no response thereafter. I have reported the incident to Ebay, forwarding all related emails for review. I've noticed the same individual's posts frequently on the platform and even had my husband inquire, receiving a suspiciously identical response. I urge for the person responsible to be barred from further postings and held accountable for these deceitful actions.

I encountered fraudulent incidents with two buyers on Craigslist. After a bad experience selling a cradle, I posted a Starcraft trailer on June 29th. To my dismay, I can't find my listing. Upon researching, I learned I might have been "ghosted". Despite trying to repost on 7/2/19 with edits as suggested, the listing remains invisible. I suspect one scammer who threatened to report me for not falling for their scheme may be involved. I have evidence including a fake $[redacted] check for a $[redacted] item and I'm willing to provide it if needed. Another scammer quickly backed off once I expressed doubt. Can anyone assist me in resolving this situation?
