    Hi

    Dos anybody here experience problems with craigslist when posting ads?
    A couple ads I posted showed up in green in my account area, but I swear I could not find them online at all (although the ad confirmation link worked and was live - -but still, I couldn't see the ads myself.)
    I also tried to post with proxy with the same results

    It's strange because I don't get a message saying that they were flagged and removed - and I am still allowed to edit them. But if they are still around, then why can't I see them??? Any ideas? I would really appreciate some thoughts on this.

    Serge

    I believe they are flagged if they don't appear on the posts page...

    What's wrong with Craigslist? Hm, well you get what you pay for as they say and with Craigslist, that is definitely the case

    Try contacting the customer service. I am sure they have an answer.

    I experience exactly the same problem with craigslist. I'm new to new and I was very furious what was going on when i could not see my ads. First, i thought that the poster could not see his ad himself but i now know that was not the case.

    Sometimes it takes time for the ads to appear.

    BTW: I just posted an ad and it was flagged down too :( it was a valid one to add that..

    I think most of the major cities have "flag patrols" that go around flagging just about anything with a link. Craigslist has gone from a decent site for promotion to nearly worthless in just the past few months.
