Sorry. You answered wrong. It is NOT liable. And the reasons are many, actually. For starters, they are not making money from the ads in question. Further, they do not edit the ads at all. It’s the old addage “if you don’t touch it, you are not responsible”. If they edited a single ad, they would suddenly become responsible for all of them. It is community monitored.
Craigslist runs under a completely different paradigm than Ebay and completely different rules apply. You don’t need a CDL to drive a pickup. And of course there is this: http://www.craigslist.org/about/fair.housing.html
