Dicks.

That is all.

I sold a 3 year old Mazda3 on Craigslist this past summer. It cost me a few bucks to list. I sold it quickly and was thrilled to get the job done.

The premis is to prevent scammers from listing images and/or ads of vehicles they do not own.

As if scammers and thieves won't spend a few dollars of money they stole to do steal more.

But, "fuck the people who play by the rules".

As long as the price they charge is reasonable, I don't see anything wrong with it. Craigslist needs to make money to stay in business. But, in my opinion it will weed out the fake listings and scam artists.

Wow. Harsh.

I guess I'm just ticked because it always has been free as of the last time I needed to advertise a bike for sale.

I'll probably get over it come Spring when I'm hot to sell the bike.

I can see where it would mitigate the scams on the selling side. Now if they could only do something about the buying side....

I listed my Jeep a few weeks back. The only bite I got was from an obvious scammer. ("The Craigslist email relay doesn't work, so email me at....")

Have seen a few sidestep it by listing their bike on the bike parts section. Even posted such, posted here to not pay the listing fee.

I guess I can live with the fee, IF they'll shut down this stupid trend of allowing people to advertise items for 1/10 of their actual selling price, just to bait you in. That makes me nuts.
