Whether you are buying or selling, Craigslist emphasizes direct, person-to-person interactions.
The site is organized into several high-traffic sections that cater to various local needs:
: Only conduct transactions face-to-face. Avoid any buyer or seller who refuses to meet in person or claims to be out of town.
: Local employment opportunities ranging from long-term positions to short-term manual labor "gigs".
: A space for local announcements, Events , and general discussion. How to Use the Site
: Stick to cash for most local deals. Never accept cashier’s checks, money orders, or wire transfers, as these are frequently used in overpayment scams .
: It is recommended to use the Craigslist-provided anonymous email address to protect your privacy during initial negotiations. Safety & Scam Prevention
