Blocked From Craig's List???

I buy boats off of Craig's List and resell them for a living. Some weeks I will email over 100 people from around the country to see if they are interested in selling. I have been doing this for 3 years. I don't feel I'm abusing the system. I'm a buyer, not a broker looking to sell them something. Within the last month when I email sellers about their boats it seems as though my emails are not going through. Has my email or IP been blocked? If so what do I do?

My guess is that you have been blocked. You may feel you're not abusing the system, but emails of this type are spam, unless I'm misunderstanding you. What to do? Stop spamming. In that case, you can open a different Craigslist account, and your posts may be accepted, especially if you have a different IP address.
