How to publish listings on Craigslist? Top

Posting on Craigslist is free and convenient using our system. It gives your listing added exposure. To take advantage of our automated posting tool, your browser must allow Popup windows (see how to), and you must create a Craigslist account to publish real estate listings (You can only post a property created by yourself.) Click the 'Post on Craigslist' button on Properties page. There will be two popup windows, one is a propertyadsite window (Title: Craigslist Post Content), another is a craigslist window (https://accounts.craigslist.org/; Title: craigslist account). Follow the craigslist posting steps in the craigslist window and copy Price, Posting Title, Posting Description from the propertyadsite window to craigslist windows when needed. To avoid Craigslist spam, it is recommended to use 'hide' option for 'Reply to', so that your email address is hidden and people will contact you through our messaging system.

How to update, delete, and repost Craigslist Ad? Top

Once you posted an Ad on Craigslist using our system, and it has been viewed at least once (you may click the link in Craigslist post confirmation email), in the Properties page, you will see an area (may need to refresh the page) having Craigslist post date (e.g., Craigslist Post: 2010-06-23) and two links (Update or Repost, Delete) blow it.
Update: Copy and paste (or drag and drop) current posting description (this will at least update the post date) to the Craigslist window, and other information if needed.
Delete: Click the 'Delete' link, and click the 'Delete this Posting' button in the popup window (delete confirmation may be required).
Repost: Frequency is subject to Craigslist policy (no more often than about every 48 hours). If a Repost link appears, it means that it is safe to repost. You must delete previous post first.

  • 1. Click the 'Delete' link, and click the 'Delete this Posting' button in the popup window (delete confirmation may be required and you cannot repost right away in this case). If 'Repost this Posting' appears in the popup window, it means that this posting has expired or been deleted, and you can go to Step 2.
    2. Click the 'Repost' link (or 'Post on Craigslist' button if the page is refreshed), and repost this property.
