Have many ads on this site for homes and land. I tried to place an ad for skilled labor and was directed to pay for the ad. that has never happened to find help before. What is going on? Are your postings no longer free?

1. We're an independent help site not connected with Craigslist.

2. As far as I know, it's never been true that all Craigslist's ads are free. See http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/posting_fees.

3. If you question a particular fee, you can write [email protected].
