Why isn't my craigslist ad showing up?

[slayer202]

I've been starting to Craigslist lately and haven't had any problems until now with posting items.

Here is something I posted. Link works for me, how about you guys?

But when I try to search on craigslist I can't find it.

Any suggestions?

I've had this happen to me when trying to sell an old CRT monitor. I think it has to do previous ads being too similar with yours.

 

[DesiPower]

maybe someone flagged it? did you check your email? not sure how it works... but cant think if any other reason...

could be possible but idk why they don't tell you that. I think I may have just gotten an email about it but I think it's probably just an ATOTer messing around haha

Hello Again,
Thanks for writing back. I am cool with your final asking price but I need it urgently. Let me know if you will accept a bank check
payment as this is the only way I can make payment to you.

I have just been transfer to head the IT section of our office in the London. I don't mind offering you a extra $100 for holding it for me. I would have loved to come and take a look at it but I will not be able to do so due to the distance and my busy schedule with other important official obligations.
You may reply me with your full name and address where I can easily get hold of you for a better communication. I will be sending the payment as soon as I received the information from you.

As regards the shipment, I will handle the shipping expenses as I have already contacted Able cargo for the shipping of my other house items, they advised they can make the pick up from your address as soon as we have concluded the sale. I will be glad if you end this sale with me and
delete the ad from Craigslist today.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks.
Regards,

Prince Michael

I get those from time to time. The buyer claims he's going to another country for business and will send you a check or money order in excess of the amount asking. An associate will then come and pickup the item. I've thought about replying to the "buyer" to send the check to the address of the local PD.

I tired to sell an extra wii for a few bucks more than retail a few years back, and within seconds it was repeatedly flagged and deleted, such that the only ads showing were those that were asking 2x.

I never could get my listing for a golf club to show up for very long either and finally gave up. I thought it was probably because I did not post a phone number and wanted to stick to email only.

My father has been trying to list a few things on CL and has the same issue. The difference is, his have never shown up.

If your ad doesn't show up in 20-mins, it got flagged, re-post the ad, but change the title slightly.
