How to Cancel a Craigslist Posting
With the boom in online trading over the last decade or so, millions product or service selling ads are posted every day by internet users all over the world. Craigslist, eBay and Classifiedads are some common websites used to sell products or services over the internet.
You may have posted an ad to sell a product on Craigslist, for instance a car. It has been weeks now that the car has been sold already but you will keep receiving replies to your ad because it is still visible to people who are looking to buy a car online. The only way to stop these replies is to remove or delete the ad from Craigslist so that it can no longer be seen by a prospect buyer browsing the Craigslist. It takes only a couple of minutes to cancel a Craigslist posting.

However, if you are a registered user on Craigslist, cancelling a Craigslist posting does not require you to locate a particular email amongst thousands of emails in the inbox. With your Craigslist username and password, login to the ad posting service at Craigslist by clicking on the ‘My Account’ button in the top left corner of the Craigslist home page.
