Craigslist is a classified advertisements website that started as a local newsletter in San Francisco and now hosts listings for over 450 cities worldwide. It allows users to post classified ads in categories like housing, jobs, items for sale, services, and personals. Each Craigslist site focuses on a specific community and is largely moderated by community members themselves. While it started as a personal project, Craigslist incorporated in 1999 and continues operating as a for-profit company. One challenge is preventing scam artists, like buyers who overpay for items. Craigslist states it will work with authorities on illegal activity and can remove users who violate its terms of use.
