We check Craigslist from our servers and combine it with problem reports from visitors.

What to do if Craigslist is not working
- If checkout fails, check your bank or card app before trying again so you don't get charged twice.
- Look in your email and order history before re-ordering. Orders often go through even when Craigslist shows an error.
- Clear your cart and add items again if prices or stock look wrong.
- Try the Craigslist app if the website fails, or the other way round.
- During big sales, Craigslist may put you in a virtual waiting room. Refreshing usually loses your place.
- Disable ad blockers on Craigslist if pages load without buttons or images.
Craigslist outage FAQ
Is Craigslist down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to craigslist.org directly from our servers, so if our check works but Craigslist doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Craigslist is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Craigslist is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that craigslist.org is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Craigslist, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Craigslist as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Craigslist?
We check Craigslist automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Craigslist outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
