Craigslist

It is not a good idea. It is probably not worth the effort to undue the damage if you find it to be a scam, and have to report fraud to the credit card company for the purchas. While credit cards are backed up by the issuing bank for fraudulent purchases, debit cards are not.

No. While you cannot figure out who exactly flagged your Craigslist post, it is still possible to edit your ad to align itself with Craigslist’s Terms of Use to get it live again.

Only Craigslist knows the real email addresses of both parties. This way, if one of the people involved turns out to be untrustworthy, they don’t have the other person’s email address. When buying or selling items on Craigslist, you communicate through the website, using this two-way email relay.

Always use a proxy email address or phone number
Once a potential buyer is truly interested, however, it’s okay to switch communication to your cell phone; most buyers appreciate being able to text. If you’re the one browsing, send questions to sellers through an email address you solely use for Craigslist.

Unfortunately, no such protection exists for those replying to posts. When you reply directly from Craigslist, your email address will be visible to the recipient. To reply anonymously, you need to create a free Web-based email address, which does not contain identifiable information.

If you suspect that an item posted for sale on Craigslist may be part of a scam, please e-mail the details to abuse@craigslist.org. Be sure to include the URL (or 10-digit post ID number) in your message. Please use the “spam” flag link in the top right corner of a spam posting.

Regular Email Address
If you click on the “Show” radio button associated with the “Reply to” fields in which you enter your email address, Craigslist will display your actual address in your posting. Unless you plan to use a throwaway address or one you set up just for posting, choosing this option may yield spam.
