So for the last few months I have been having trouble. I post a new ad and it is deleted within minutes, sometimes seconds. Is this happening to anyone else? It is almost as though there is a bot taking listings down.
- Is anyone having trouble posting on Craigslist?

Not here. I'd check with your internet provider first. Maybe there's some sort of issue (known or unknown) between them and CL. Good luck!!

might be the content for your post that is red flagging the automated watch dog if your wording or titles are not allowed example post in a free but your title says $5

Look into "ghosting"
I had my personal truck I was trying to sell and I'm fairly certain a dealer kept flagging it.. after a while your account gets ghosted- and CL WILL NOT provide you a reason why!

I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
Are you using a CL app? Or just posting from a PC? I always use an app and have not had any issues.
Please let us know if you find out what is causing the problem.
Good luck

John, there are programs that can take ads down in seconds by flagging them over and over until they are removed. I would not be surprised if some shady people around here are using them. I do not use craigslist to advertise so I have not experienced this issue, but have heard about it from a few that do.

I swear I was the first in my area to offer a free disposal service. Since then CL has reached its limit on scrappers in my opinion. Any time I would make an ad, it would get flagged in minutes. I have since given up on cl and pursue real advertising.

All it is ,is other scrappers flagging you. Look above your post and if there's a new or renewed post for the same service you offer its probably them flagging you. So flag them back.

I had a craigslist "stalker" flagging my ads and taunting me in the rants and raves.
I emailed craigslist about it and they banned my stalker from craigslist.
