I had never used craigslist to sell anything but had always heard good things about.
So a couple of weeks ago I posted a single item just to get used to their system. While I never got any response from the item, I thought the education on using their form was good.
We have alot of stuff to sell so I set up an email account just for craigslist stuff. Rather than buyers having to go through an anonymous email I inserted the new craigslist email into the ad. I had seen quite a few ads run this way so I thought it was the thing to do.
Well, I was really really wrong. Over the weekend after posting quite a few items on craigslist I have not received any serious inquires but have been bombarded with spam from people who think I am loosing my house and want to show me how to make money at home. Even had one that wanted to sell me a case of the "blue pill" at a really reduced rate.
I have to say I am really shocked and surprised at the amount of spam. Dont these people have jobs?? Or am I just naive?
Has anybody else experienced this or am I just lucky? Was it wrong to provide a direct email??
Or should I just go back to EBAY?
Man I hate selling stuff. Wish there was someone out there that could do all this for me.
