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".

Preach it comrade.

Next thing you know, stores will charge for bread.

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....")

It was $5 for me last month.

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.

This.

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.
