No Luck In Posting My Ad On Craigslist - What Can I Do?

I have tried to post an ad on Craigslist 3 times in the last week & a half. I receive an email from them instructing me to click on the link to my ad, then click on "publish", which I did; then it states the ad is posted. I waited at least 15 minutes as the email said, then checked for my ad & it wasn't there. I checked on different computers at different times & it never showed up. I tried everything suggested in the help index of Craigslist and none of that worked either. What can I do to get my ad posted?

You didn't say how you knew your ad wasn't posting. The best way to know for sure is to edit the ad (even with no changes) and then on the confirmation page to follow the link to the edited post.

If the link does not lead you to your edited ad, it may be a temporary Craigslist glitch that will resolve itself. In the worst case create a new account for your ad.
