Tips & Warnings
Understand that those who browse Craigslist are more likely to click on your ad if you have a catchy title and an image of your product.
Review the Craigslist 'Help Desk Forums' if you need further assistance (see Resources below).
Take appropriate precautions when meeting any strangers from the Internet. If you sell auto parts out of your home or office, you should exchange email information and even chat on the phone with your potential buyers before giving out your address.
