How Do I Post on Craigslist Multiple Times?
Classifieds website Craigslist is organized into multiple categories -- and operates in literally hundreds of cities and geographical locations around the world -- so several scenarios in which you'd want to post multiple ads exist. Post multiple ads to Craigslist only if they relate to a different item, job or real estate listing or portray the same item, job or listing in a unique light. Otherwise, you risk violating Craigslist's Terms of Use and losing privileges altogether.

Register a Craigslist account. Doing so isn't require to post -- whether you post once or multiple times -- but makes the process of posting easier, eliminating several verification steps the site requires of anonymous users. Click "My Account" and then "Sign Up for An Account" to sign up for your account, which requires you to submit your email address, first and last name and agree to the site's "Terms of Use."

Post multiple ads in different categories or geographical locations. For example, sell your old couch under Craigslist's "Furniture" category in the "For Sale" section or put your apartment up for sub-lease in the "Sublets/Temporary" category of the "Housing" section.

Create new ads which further advertise and promote items or services you've already posted only if they portray the item or service in a unique light. For example, if you use Craigslist's "Personals" service, you might seek romance in the "Men Seeking Women" category but seek friendship in "Strictly Platonic." Re-use certain important details or features but do not, by any means, re-copy an existing ad word-for-word.

Delete existing ads and re-post them if your primary motivation for re-posting ads is that the appear near the top of search results, keeping in mind that Craigslist orders ads chronologically. Otherwise, you have essentially posted duplicated ads, which results in both ads being flagged and removed -- and, if you frequently participate in such activity, the potential for penalties to your account.
