    Services.......Ive place small biz ads on Craigslist and they wanted a phone number verification. Its only done once per account. And I think you can only place 4 ads a day! Im not sure about the number though.

    If you live outside the US and you need a US phone just get a VoIP... not really a big deal.. This way you can be "phone verified" when needed..

    Please read my question before replying. I understand what phone verified accounts are and how to obtain them I am asking what sections need verified accounts and how many posts craigslist accounts are limited to each day.

    Sections that require craigslist phone verified accounts:
    services, gigs, personals, for sale.

    I would post no more than 1 ad every 1 accounts every 48h, that's a safe rule. So if you have 20 accounts you can post 10 ads a day.

    Unless they have changed it in the last week or two, I have never had to do it for the 'for sale' section. I have listed several different types of items in the 'For Sale' section recently and didn't need to do phone verification.

    Services though did require it.

    CL changes the section you need a PVA for almost constantly. I wouldn't be surprised if within a month or two every section will need one in order to post.
    As for the amount of posts you can make with each PVA the answer right now is 3 posts (unique posts in different areas) per 48 hours.

    Yeah, it's definitely services, erotic and I believe for sale now as well.

    Posting in jobs costs $25.

    Marketing via craigslist is becoming tougher, but not impossible. You just need to be creative.

    This is absolutely untrue and do not follow this advice. CL has pretty much gotten to all the VOIP providers. They can pick up on whether or not its VOIP number or a cell phone. So do not do this method. Purchase the accounts from a provider or create them yourself using real landlines. I currently have a PVA team. $5 per account and $4 per one for volumes 200 and above.

    These PVA's are now being required in not only in the Services, but if you are trying pump volume out, you will need them for Community / For Sale / and Housing as well. These accounts are not needed right away but if you are trying to get a few hundred out in these sections, then these accounts will be needed. After so many posts, a IP subnet block takes effect which is temporary but will continue to happen when more than 15-20 posts are done within a certain IP Range.

    You need PVA to post in Sales section only if your IP is blacklisted. You also can't use VOIP's to make accounts.

    If anyone needs accounts, just hit me a PM ;)

    So there is no possibilities for anyone outside U.S to have CL account?

    Of course someone outside the USA can have CL accounts. You need to use elite anonymous US based proxies or a US based VPN service to make it look like you are inside the US. You will need to be on these proxies or VPN each time you create a new account or post on CL.

    And your IP WILL get temporarily blocked when posting to many times within a certain time frame. Your IP doesn't get permanently blacklisted but CL will decide on how long to block you for postings. Proxies can be permanently blacklisted though. Typically it ranges from 1-2 days for your normal internet connection.

    Also, Sales is not the only other section. It happens in Community and Housing as well. I post FT so I'm fully aware of the techniques CL uses.

    I to have accounts, real landlines used from all over the US. Non-Sequential.

    You can post 1 ad per 1 accounts per day. You can do more like 2 a day but it may be risky and your accound can get more ghosted ads or placed on hold
