Craigslist is headquartered in San Francisco and is monitered and policed by it's users. When your ad is removed right after placing it, that means 3 or more people found it offensive, repetitive, discriminatory, not placed in the right category or the price was disputable.

Sometime the members can be down right mean and can take the ad down if they don't like it. It usually take more than 3 people to take your ad down, but if someone is competing with you by selling their computer...they could have family members all click to remove your ad and poof! your competing ad is gone.

The best way to find out what is going on is to submit your ad to the FORUM and let them rant and rave (and offend you) with their nonsense. Once in a while you will get an honest person who will give you help or hints on editing the ad for re-submission.

Forget talking to anyone at Craigslist in person. Try simplifying your ad with minimal info and a fair price and resubmitting it late in the evening or on the weekend when most people are too busy to sit at the computer and make trouble for others!

Another tip....most users have more than one account which is why some people can get away with posting multiple times and not be caught for repetitive ads!

CL requires ads to sell, trade, or give away televisions and monitors to be posted through an account. It's quick and easy to establish one.
