Craigslist Best Practices

Why aren't my ads showing?

There are many reasons why your ads get ghosted on Craigslist. The best you can do, is follow their best practices.

  1. Only place between 10 and 15 ads per Craigslist account every 24 hours. For example, if the last ad placed on the account was at 8pm, then only use that account after 8pm the following day.

  2. Spread out the ad placements throughout the day. We recommend 10 to 30 minutes between each ad.

  3. If your account doesn't seem to show any ads no matter how long you wait, it has probably been flagged by Craigslist. In this case, you need to open a new craigslist account and follow the rules above. You may create a several craigslist accounts and alternate ad posting between them.

  4. This is a very important step. Make sure that you delete any ads you have in your craigslist account that are not being used anymore. If you keep old unused ads in there, flagging will occur.

  5. If you want to repost and ad, don't do it through ZipZoomAuto. Instead, log into your Craigslist account and click on repost ad.
