Free Pepper Seeds Posting

I have created a bunch of different postings on sites all around my area and they got taken down. I put the listing as free because I was giving a small amount out for free but you had to pay for more. I am shipping them to areas for a very low price so I didn't see why it was a problem to post on areas that aren't very close to me. Im not sure if thats the reason they were taken down or if it was because I was selling on the "Free" posting.

It has nothing to do with being free. Craigslist prohibits two simultaneous posts that are essentially the same. Craigslist requires that you wait a minimum of 48 hours from the original post before reposting the same (or similar) post. (Note also that your post will be automatically deleted after its expiration--for lifespans see http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/faq#lifespan/.)

The rules are a little different for paid ads, for which see http://bit.ly/298oYMg.
