Craigslist has been a go-to site for online classified ads for over two decades. It is a user-friendly site that is free to use for both buyers and sellers. However, in recent years, Craigslist has been under fire for being a hotbed for illegal activity. In March of 2019, the site announced a ban on all traffic-related ads, including but not limited to, cars, motorcycles, boats, and RVs.
This ban was put into place in an effort to crack down on illegal activity, such as human trafficking. In a statement on the Craigslist website, the company said, “Any ads for vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, boats, and RVs, will not be allowed on Craigslist. This policy is in effect now and applies to all U.S. Craigslist sites.”
The ban has been met with mixed reactions. Some people feel that it is a step in the right direction, while others feel that it is an overreach by the company. Craigslist has been known for years as a place where illegal activity can take place, and this ban is an attempt to clean up the site.
Whether you agree with the ban or not, it is important to remember that Craigslist is a free site and that the company is within its rights to make these changes. If you are looking for a place to sell or buy a car, motorcycle, boat, or RV, you may want to consider using a different site.
