Step 2: You can choose the state where you live.
There is a list of big cites on the right side of the page.Links are at the bottom of the list if you don't see your city.The link says US States.You can enter your city's name at yourcityname.craigslist.org.We will enter "portland.craigslist.org" for our examples.Pick the city that is closest to you if there isn't a listing for it.It is against the terms of use of the website to post an ad in multiple cities.
Step 3: Click on the button to post a classified ad.
It is on the left side.You will be brought to a page that says what type of posting it is.You can find a list of posting types on the site, including "for sale by dealer" and "by owner" areas.
Step 4: If you click the for sale button, you will be taken to a different category page.
There is a list of about 100 categories.You have the option of choosing one.Click on the category you want to sell in.Click on the category if your item doesn't fit in it.You would choose if you want to sell an old bicycle.You will be asked to narrow down your location when you click on that.
Step 5: The posting information should be entered.
Potential buyers will see this when they are looking for what you're selling.People will see this as the heading in their search results.How much do you want to sell the item for?You can enter your county, part of town or general information.Don't enter your address!Put your email address here.You can either have an "anonymous" address or not.This is the best choice for "for sale by owner".If you are a dealer, you should include your contact information in the ad body.You can list a phone number and specify whether it is a cell that can accept text messages..This is where you sell.Make it interesting.If you don't know how to write sales copy, look at a catalog or newspaper ad and see how they do it.It will work for you if it works for them.You don't want the ad to sound like a dealer ad if you are selling by owner.Don't hype, stick with facts.Tell the truth here.Let them know in advance if there are flaws in the item or if your ex will be knocking on the door of whoever buys it.It will help you avoid getting a reputation as an unreliable seller if you use it.If you get emails from people you don't know..There are fields in green.
Step 6: You should submit pictures of what you're selling.
If you want to sell something, fill as many picture slots as possible with high-resolution pictures that are as good as you can make them, because this is listed as optional.People should be excited about what you're selling.If you want to avoid "stock" pictures from the manufacturer or the Internet, be sure to post pictures of your actual item.Click the button when you're done loading.You can add up to 24 images to your ad.Links and external images are not allowed for sale ads.
Step 7: Make sure your listing is accurate.
It's important that your listing gets the attention it deserves.Click on the buttons if you need to make changes.
Step 8: You can continue by clicking on the Continue button.
Click the button at the bottom of the page if you're happy with your ad.If you have an account on the website, your ad will be posted within 15 minutes.You will be sent a notification email if you don't have an account.
Step 9: That's all!
You made an ad on a website.While you may see a notice that says the list is updated every 15 minutes, it may take longer, perhaps an hour or two, before your ad appears in search results.
