Le site craigslist.org est-il sûr ?

Craigslist.org is a good site in and of itself. However, because of the massive volume of users and posts, the user needs to use reasonable amount of caution when transacting business with posters/buyers. Make sure to read Craigslist's own guidelines on how to protect yourself under: craigslist.org/about/scams This will make your experience safer.

Overall craigslist can be a good site if you are wanting to buy/swap/trade items. They have various sections set up for different type of merchandise, or if you are looking to swap/trade items; and it's based on individual cities. The help wanted section can be useful, but you have to be very careful of scams as well. It has gotten a little better since the site started charging to add listings in this area. The personals section I feel should be password protected and this is where the site loses at child safety. Even the non-adult sections of the personal ads can have inappropriate material; and children have complete access to it. The adult section is just as bad, with all a child having to do is press "yes" button that they are over 18. With a large number of child predators on the internet; I believe craigslist should do more to protect the innocence of our children.

I sold a lot of stuff I never thought I would get rid of on craiglists and I cracked up all the time reading the singles and "looking for" sections.... But this is not anything I would want my kids reading. And I had hundreds of scammers trying to buy from me also. I told them cash only and they left me alone.
