Hi,
I don't mind typing the chaptca.
I don't have a 100 items to spam but I do have some items recurring to post and it's a pain in the bucket all these screens to go through to post
I do see some of my competitors have adds posted in every single city on craigslist, how do they do it?
Is the solution to hire a craigslist poster person for me ?
Again I am not looking for all automated but a way that I can make an add and then save it and re post it a week after and save 20-30 adds like that at different locations ?!?! |

That's a hotly debated one.
You are basically entering black hat area with this stuff. Be sure you have all your gear on.
If you spend time to google craigslist autopost as a term, you'll hit a million.
Again, be careful what you do with this, I'm not running any right now and would let you know if I were.
CL is my market number one, but I do it by hand because I have to toggle the descriptors and rearrange photos.
I post on CL via SSB (sellersourcebook) - so I have zero problem with multiple posts after I drag the images around a bit.
CL only reads the first few lines, and by rearranging my photos that solves it. |

I make about six copies of a item, and that gives me a lot of wiggle room for reposting from my account.
I just switch them around and it produces fresh html for the posting for each CL ad.
I then log into CL and my various accounts and click away. Easy. No captca.

Sure.
Sellersourcebook is a template/image hosting/auction control/launch posting program.
I'll give you an example (forgive me lizard) ok?
I unload camera. Edit in Picasa. Send image to desktop in folder.
I open SSB, create a category name. Let's say I just took a picture of a pearl necklace....
Categories manager: pearl necklace
Image Uploader: Drag and drop
Create new listing: fill in fields.
SAVE
Get code.
Now all the pictures, the text, everything is there. If I want I can upload to ebay, it also calculates fees for me before I launch.
I use SSB for about 10 different sites right now, including CL.
Just copy the code it makes and paste it in.
----------------
Now for the second edition posting for CL, I just copy the listing.
Modify by dragging one picture in the row, say first position photo goes to second postion. They switch around.
Thus creating new html.
Copy code. Paste to CL.
With six pictures, I can create a lot of different ads.
Even more if I just type two sentences different in the description of item field.
(That's how the spammers do it, change the first two lines when replying.) |

I also have my phone set to alert me - I have a email account just for my CL postings.
I never really have trouble though.
If CL were to review/flag me, I get a phone call.
Big deal.
Copy code, paste and I'm up again. |

You can get them free if you are super computer literate and know what you are doing as far as torrents, etc. The learning curve on them is nothing short of scaling Mt. Everest though.
For regular life needs...
Try this to get an idea of what I'm talking about

ehustle - you say you get an alert when a listing gets flagged. Is this a craigslist setting or a sellersourcebook setting or some other way you do that?
Is it sellersourcebook that gets around the captcha or logging in to Craigslist? |
