Yo, anyone else notice craigslist banning CA users lately? Like, wtf is going on??
I was tryna post something yesterday and got hit with a "blocked" message. Thought it was just me, but my buddy in LA said the same thing happened to him.
Is this some new rule or just a glitch? Feels random af.
Also, anyone know if it’s permanent or just temp? Kinda sucks cuz CL was my go-to for selling stuff.
Pls lmk if y’all have any info or workarounds. This craigslist banning CA thing is lowkey annoying.
Thx!
yo, same thing happened to me last week! i was tryna sell my old bike and got blocked.
i did some digging and apparently craigslist banning ca users is bc of some new cali laws about online marketplaces.
idk if it’s permanent but it’s def not a glitch.
try facebook marketplace or offerup for now. they’re decent alternatives.
ugh, this craigslist banning ca thing is so frustrating. i’ve been using CL for years and now this??
i heard it’s related to prop 22 or something. not sure tho.
anyway, i switched to nextdoor for local stuff and it’s been working okay. not as good as CL but better than nothing.
bro, i feel you. craigslist banning ca users is such a pain.
i tried using a vpn to bypass it, but it didn’t work. CL seems to have locked it down hard.
if you’re looking for alternatives, check out letgo or 5miles. they’re pretty solid for selling stuff locally.
yeah, this craigslist banning ca situation is wild.
i read somewhere that it’s because of new regulations in california that CL doesn’t wanna deal with.
not sure if it’s temp or permanent, but i’ve been using ebay classifieds and it’s been alright.
same here! i was so confused when i got blocked.
craigslist banning ca users seems to be a thing now. i think it’s bc of some legal stuff.
i’ve been using mercari for smaller items and it’s been working out.
man, this craigslist banning ca thing is such a bummer.
i tried contacting their support but no response.
if you’re looking for a workaround, try listing on offerup or facebook marketplace. they’re not perfect but they get the job done.
yeah, i noticed craigslist banning ca users too.
it’s def not a glitch. i think it’s related to some new laws in california.
i’ve been using varagesale and it’s been decent so far.
this craigslist banning ca thing is so annoying.
i heard it’s bc of some new regulations, but idk for sure.
if you’re looking for alternatives, try facebook marketplace or offerup. they’re pretty good for local sales.
yo, thanks for all the replies!
i tried facebook marketplace like some of y’all suggested, and it’s been working okay so far.
still sucks that craigslist banning ca users is a thing now, but i guess we gotta adapt.
anyone know if there’s a way to contact CL directly about this? or is it just a lost cause?
thx again for the help!
