Craigslist now requires phone verification to post to Sporting Goods

Craigslist now requires phone verification to submit ads to the Sporting Goods section. Maybe they're not requiring everyone to do so, but it just required me to verify by phone (recorded code) to be able to post to the sporting goods section. It includes a warning that violation of policy (guns, ammo) will result in suspension of account and blacklisting of the phone number. Ebay bought a large percentage of craigslist and is probably behind some of this. The liberals are in charge. Most Americans have little backbone to fight these people in control. The whole thing is a tragedy.

Not so in MA.

Should be ‘craigslist.org’ not ‘.com’

Ebay went off the deep end some time ago in this respect along with their worthless payment sub PayPal. Use GunBroker, I find them to be very good although there are some others out there I’m not quite as familiar with like GunsAmerica.

No. Its a private site and they can run it anyway they want.
Don’t like it: either start your own site or go some place else.

Craigslist.com hasn’t allowed the sale of firearms for as long as I’ve been familiar with the site.

Why would anyone want to sell their gun anyway?

I know thieves fence lots of stolen bicycles on that website to unsuspecting purchasers.

Not only that,people who are walking from their homes find it a lucrative place to sell all those items that should belong to the mortgage holder.

The owner and founder of craigslist is an ancient hippie.

They have always been liberal, but now they are also facing a lot of heat from several state attorneys general for sales of illegal items and prostitution ads.

That’s the reason why I left Ebay as a seller. There’s a reason why Paypal is now called “You’d Better Pray Pal”. The worst customer service hands down. In order to get a refund or payment, I can confidently say to go to your bank and have them counteract fraudulent transactions because PP is as useless as Obama’s policies.

Ebay is based in San Fran and their avatar is the peace sign, what do you expect? Go to another site and avoid the high blood pressure of dealing with libtards.
