Question for those who sell services in Craigslist

by rmx
7 replies
I know you can't post the same ad in different cities in different areas like Dallas and Boston. But is it against TOS if same (or very similar ad) is posted on different cities in same region? For example, in San Francisco Bay Area there are multiple cities. I see some service providers posting the same ad with different headlines in multiple cities in that region. Is that ok or are they violating the rules.

Thanks, RMX

    Hi RMX,

    The answer to this is the use of proxies and several phone verified craiglist accounts.

      I would like to thank you too for this YasirYar. I have often wondered about this when I go post my ONE ad. Will have to check in Fiverr to see if someone offers these accounts.

    You can googling "craigslist pva service". Then you outsource them.

    You cannot post the identical ad in multiple cities (even if they are the same region). If CL sees the identical ad posted into various cities irregardless of their proximity to each other, all identical ads will get ghosted.

    You need to have a unique IP address associated with each posting.

    Each IP address must match the city to which you are attempting to post into.

      Only if it is an HTML ad can it be identical. If it is textual and identical, Craigslist will ghost the ad.
