We appreciate CL so much! What is happening with these cases? Here's a link to some of the other auction type venues. Power Sellers Unite is not in itself a sales venue but has an informative forum. While I still use "Feeborg/ Payfool" as a point of reference for prices, am using other sites when I need to advertise beyond one city of CL. Persevere! Is there an update to this situation?

THEY DO NOT OWN MY ITEMS NOR WILL THEY TELL ME HOW TO MARKET OR SELL MY THINGS! I'm overly tired of the whole situation....I say to Craigs List PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do what is necessary to open the bidding! I have been waiting rather impatiently to cancel my accounts with eBay and PayPal and as a powerseller I'll be right there with bells on!!

I think CL is great, except when people get carried away with the flagging and blocking. Even when you are legit. That makes it bad. There is alot of unwanted ebay stuff going on.

We are engaging them into the world of Internet product sales, many of my clients are simply the backbone of American entrepreneurs. Just many lack computer skills so ,this is all new to them as they have closed their businesses and watched their lifetime of hard work crumble. I have used ebay as a marketing tool in the past....but with their new policies allowing negative feed back...an I have had several clients ship products the have buyers leave negative feed back and then file a compliant against them with paypal .So the customer gets the product,ebay gets the listing fees paypal gets the monthly business account fees and the seller gets all the cost the product lost and the gets to spend hours trying to resolve the issue. One of my clients had a wall full of thank you letter in his bricks and mortar store, he could now longer pay the 25,000 year in property taxes and close his store. Six times he has had negative feedback on ebay IN THREE MONTHS.. and not once in twenty five years of business. With the new Paypal rules.. PAYPAL will not release funds for 21 days or until the buyer sends in positive feed back... this is nothing but ebay and paypal floating money to line their pockets... also with the no checks and no money orders allowed... ALL ebay purchases must use paypal starting in September. I believe this violates the Federal Sherman anti-trust act .The Feds took Bill gates and Microsoft to court for this, so why not EBAY AND PAYPAL?...perhaps could it be that Meg Whitman former CEO and current board member and consultant to Ebay AND.... has been vetted for the Vice presidency under Mc Cain, Has spent millions in lobbyist fees and has a paid lobbyist in every state. Point is business people really don't mind paying fees,it's simply a cost of doing business ..BUT they do mind being nickled and dimmed to death including the cost of keeping track of all the fees and blatant fraud. SO..Craig please help out the small business people in the UNTIED STATES and add module and host to CRAIGSLIST that allows retailers to bring a fair and honest market place back to the American people ! Thanks for the allowing the RANT.... I am a business consultant,many of my clients bricks and mortar stores are shutting down, due to the economy.

Point is business people really don’t mind paying fees,it’s simply a cost of doing business ..BUT they do mind being nickled and dimmed to death including the cost of keeping track of all the fees and blatant fraud.

What I mean to say is the searches are local, you cant search nationwide, at least I havent figured out how to without having to switch from local site to site. I am so sick of Ebay, their latest rule change doesnt allow any seller to leave feedback for a buyer... for me to leave feedback for a deadbeat bidder... I list items on Cragslist and appreciate the service, I just wish there was a way to list nationally w/o jumping from city to city. It would deffinately give Ebay a run for its money (which is all they care about for sure) and make my life easier. Any feedback appreciated!
