Step1
First you have to have a vaild email address. Without you cannot post on Craigslist. So if you do not have an email get one. A lot of sites offer free standard email accounts. Yahoo, and Google just to name a few.

Step3
You go thru the for sale link and click on it. At the top of your screen you will see. Help and Post click on the word post. Next it will show all of the possiable catagories you pick on that best describes what you are selling. Example if you want to sell your car hit cars/trucks.
Step4
