    When I try to post an ad on Craigslist, it charges me $25 but many people say they post their ads for free. How do I post for free like others? Can anyone explain to me, please? Thanks

    Try to read their FAQ and privacy policy page. Maybe you missed something. Or go and contact their customer service, they will answer your questions. Coba aja

    Craigslist fees depend on the location.

    In San Francisco Job Postings cost $75USD but in Small towns they are free.

    Once many users start posting more jobs, Craigslist will start charging.

    If you're in Jakarta $25 may be the fee for posting a job posting.

    If you want free listing, post in any other categories as jobs and erotic services are the only listings that you have to pay for on Craigslist.

    Does Craigslist use Ghosting on the Paid Job areas of US cities?

    Yes, it all depends on location and what type of ad your trying to publish. Business related postings are starting to see more charges...ie jobs and real estate.

    @Seanmoo:
    yes, but if you pay $25-$100 on a single posting, ghosting bots should be much more lax than usual

    Better you just don't do it. There are more classifieds that don't charge you a dime

    Yep, it's just the cost of posting in the job section. In my opinion CL is worth it because of it has much higher traffic compared to other sites.

    The site is free but they offer both paid and free advertising depending on the location where you will place the ad.You can read their rules and regulations or faq for further explanation.

    No, because it has so much traffic. But you can also try Kijiji, Gumtree, Backpage, etc.

    Depends on where you list. Services always costs money. You need many email accounts to get started. They are pretty quick to flag free ads though.
