    Default CL charging $5 for FS auto add



    FYI - Craigslist is now charging $5 to list a FS add for a vehicle...

    I think they have charged for help wanted ads for quite some time. I don't mind them making this change as there are some businesses out there that inundate CL with their ads and put so many irrelevant tags in there that it seems anything searched brings up their vehicles.

    Real Estate / FS & rentals I think they've charged for as well. For not being ad-supported - they have to make money to stay alive somehow.

    Isn't eBay $50 for a vehicle ad (at least I think that's what it was over a decade ago when I helped Dad sell a car).

    kind of how I feel...dealers seem to inundate the for sale by owners category (probably to avoid the dealer charge) that it may help make the classifieds easier to search. It may also push people to facebook marketplace as well. I have definitely done a fair number of transactions through CL so I do appreciate its functionality and think a $5 fee is fine for bigger ticket items.
