When I was signed in to my Craigslist account today, I noticed a new tab on the My Account page called Drafts. Craigslist now lets you save an item description as a draft, which is a great new feature.

I decided to browse through different cities for odd items posted for sale on Craigslist. I did this in an earlier post and found some odd things for sale, so it wasn’t very difficult to find more. Here are a few of my favorites…

I have been posting items for sale on Craigslist for about three years now. Most of the sales come from phone calls, but I like to keep the email option open for those that don’t feel comfortable calling a stranger from the internet.

I usually keep my account logged in all day as I post and re-post items for sale on Craigslist.

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed that CL has automatically been signing my account out, which can be frustrating if you are in the middle of a post.

If you receive an email that is claiming to be from Craigslist telling you that your account is going to expire, do not click the link in the email. It is a scam.

It is a phishing scam to get your email address with your Craigslist account password.

The email will look something like this:

Subject: Info about your account REF498066

I saw a news story about people getting scammed using Craigslist to buy tickets.

Here is a simple tip:  If you are planning to buy tickets to a sporting event or concert through Craigslist, use common sense.
