    It is free to list most items on Craigslist. However, some things carry a fee, such as when selling vehicles, rentals and job advertisements, or selling as a dealer. For help with your listings, see the wikiHow How to Sell Items on Craigslist.

    You don’t need to have an account to post things on Craigslist. However, sellers often like to make an account because there are benefits that come with it, such as a control panel for managing your ads and easy re-posting if the item hasn’t sold. The ability to manage your posts doesn’t exist if you don’t have an account.

    You do not need an account to buy something. Simply go to the ad for the item you want to purchase and click on "reply". Use the contact information to contact the seller and make purchase arrangements.
