This is a good site, but you do have to be cautious. It's definitely too easy for children to access adult content though.

You best be prepared for a bunch of spam e-mails.

Although this site does accomplish it's goal of putting buyers and sellers in touch with each other, the escalating issue with spammers has really gotten out of hand.

While I've dealt with the occasional deadbeat buyer and even deadbeat seller, the idea behind craigslist is genius and I've certainly had many more positive interactions than negative ones. I would also say as a former HR employee for small business craigslist provides an essential service for low cost recruitment.

Is a great new version of the classified ads. Very cool.

The place is pretty much just a spam trap and nothing more.
Helpful
some interesting ads, worth having a look at it

The site itself is fine, and it's only the personals sections (which have a disclaimer) which are inappropriate for kids. The trustworthiness is what the users make it.

Got a nice job thanks to craigslist so I can only give a great review!

Child Safety should be red as there is (a) Adult content (b) links to sites that are scams, spam and contain malicious content (c) ads posted by scammers and spammers. Not all of the site is bad, and it is the unethical users that seek to cause harm to others, therefore, child safety should be rated red just as a warning to other WOT users.

They have limits on the buying, selling and/or trading of some legal goods (such as firearms). They permit personal ads that are not child safe.

not child safe but it can be useful
2
Not too good, certainly useless site.
4
It's an internet classic and will probably stay this way. It's consequently filled with poorly administrated content and filled with adult content aswell. Use with caution, however i've heard of many people who love it because of the possibilities it provides.

There is Porn, Adult stuff, phishing scam, malware... NOT SAFE
