Maybe that will keep some of the scammers from listing and some of the dealers listing under owner for sale instead of dealer.
Craigslist to start charging $5 for car ads

There is nothing worse than a Facebook ad. Nothing. It is literally a window into the lives of extremely backwards people, and the equivalent of live streaming stupidity. Nope.
Kijiji now requires more and more checks and balances to ads and correspondence. Craigslist hasn't seen an upgrade in what feels like decades.
Marketplace is garbage. Its easy to post stuff for sale but the people that sell stuff are awful, and if you are a legit seller it's hard too with all the bogus buyers slinging "is this still available" messages.
Marketplace was good for deals for 2 months when people posted stuff and the CL snipers didnt know about it, but people got burnt out and either stopped selling stuff or the snipers took over.
Marketplace search is garbage, its loaded with ads and you can't sort worth a crap.
This is why I don't have a lot of stuff to sell, and the stuff I do have for sale is usually pretty specialized and sold on forums or thrown out because the general population of the world (as it continues to get smaller thanks to technology) is complete scum. Yesterday, somehow, I allowed myself to get sucked into reading about two losers arguing over an engine that was a disappointment to the buyer. In other - but completely relatable - news the new Trailer Park Boys animated series on Netflix is f*cking hilarious.
I guess I don't really have a problem with it - Might keep some dreamers away or more realistic. If they just tagged the dealers they would have a windfall. E-bay use to be great but now days when your looking for something you have to go through pages of someone's stuff to keep searching - if they had to pay per add I'm sure that would stop
Anything good in life usually has a demise. As far as CL, it was great at first, coming from an era of three day three lines $33 newspaper ad fees. to free was awesome.... and like anything else in life, CL has been misused by people with absolutely no integrity, honesty, or respect for that matter, ruining it for CL's reputation, and for all the honest people on there placing ads or responding TO them. In the last 5 years or so, CL practices has left a new window open for FB market place, and soon that will be ruined too. In life you got to jump on the wagon ride it as long as possible, and know when to get off so you can say you had a good experience while it lasted.
