This is an email I received back from craigslist after posting the stop foreclosure ad from the pamplet on page 9. They flagged it and removed it. I read their policy etc and even tried a repost. And no success.

Has anyone else had this problem. IF NOT please post the ad you ran so I can use it in the Seattle/Tacoma Washington Craigs List. Thanks!

How did your ad read?

The best way I have found is to put the ads in the service section (financial/real estate) not in the real estate for sale section it will always get falgged. I also found that you can only run the same ad every other day. So change the wording and the titles.


Jon Gillman

Thanks I will go and see if there is a finance/real estate section so I don't get flagged.

What do you write in your ad? Can you post it here so I can use it in Washinton Specifically Seattle/Tacoma.

Call Craigs list and see why you are being flagged. It could be your wording. It could be the wrong section. I have been flagged once or twice but it was a minor issue both times. I know it works I got a lead today from a Craig's list ad. The ads just like the rest of real estate is a numbers game. Stay focused keep moving in a positive direction and the results will come.

Holy COW! If you go thru the finance area then to real estate it works. But when I went directly to real estate it was flagged and booted out.

I have also found a ton of great sites to post besides Craigs

Oodle.com
LiveDeal.com
Sell.com
and Oodle takes you to about 7 more free classified sites. They have them listed on their front page.

Does anyone else have any others we all can use???
