How to fix Craigslist not working
Craigslist is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach craigslist.org over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Craigslist.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Craigslist is down: what to use instead
- Facebook Marketplace Use it when you want nearby buyers to find a listing and arrange pickup.
- eBay It reaches buyers outside your area when local interest is slow.
- OfferUp It helps with local sales and simple messaging when you plan to meet a buyer.
- Nextdoor It helps you ask neighbors for leads or pass along an item when you want a smaller local audience.

How we track Craigslist
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Craigslist, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Craigslist, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Craigslist doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
