How to See Craigslist Ads That Have Been Removed
Posts that expire are automatically removed by Craigslist within 7 to 30 days, depending on the posting's original category. Big city classifieds, such as Boston, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco area listings, are removed from Craigslist after seven days of exposure. Listings in smaller cities or job-, gig- and resume listings may remain active for up to 45 days. Nevertheless, you can review the removed listing from the account used to post it. All Craigslist account holders can see their expired ads from their account page.
