FAQs

How do I post on Craigslist for sale near me? ›

While a number of competitors have sprung up (OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, Locanto, Mercari, and Recycler, NextDoor), Craigslist was the first to offer an all-in-one site for selling things online, and still the first place many people think of when they're looking to sell a bed frame or find an apartment.

OfferUp. OfferUp is a popular alternative to Craigslist, and you can find almost any item on there. It's also available as an app, which is easy to use and well-designed. It's free to buy and sell most items to local buyers.

Do People Still Use Craigslist? Absolutely. You can search your local area on Craigslist and find used furniture, cars, rentals, and even jobs.

Facebook Marketplace is better than Craigslist if you're trying to sell merchandise as fast as possible. Listing is easier, and same goes for messaging potential buyers and arranging sales. The downside of the Facebook Marketplace is that you can't post services, so it's just for resellers.

Without an account, you must write and post each ad individually, responding to an emailed confirmation message to validate a listing before it appears on Craigslist. Account holders can view all their ads through a unified interface on the Craigslist website.

Signing up for a craigslist account

Provide a valid email address, then check your inbox for the signup link from robot@craigslist.org. You will have to choose a password for your account. Once the bar turns green, your password is strong enough and can be saved.

Say who you are, state your interest in the item, confirm how much you'll pay, and when you're available to pick up. If the post asks for a phone number, provide it. If not, ask if they'd like one. Many people choose to deal over the phone as it is quicker than playing email tag.
