asked a question CraigsList is charging fees now - so where else is good to post free ads?

I just went on CL for the first tiem since way early spring and got slapped in the face by their $5 per post fee! WHAAAATT????!!! So... where else is there to post ads? CL is obviously off the list! Not paying that!

marked best answer how to tell if your contact is a scam?

I just set up my account 2 days ago and have gotten a few messages via fb ads and craigslist. My issue is.. they seem sketchy. Two came from 2 different people asking for services for a friend kinda thing. One via text and the other via email. One responded saying they are moving from Australia and want to pay $450 for all these add on services (like bathing and training) during 4 hour daycare (how does one even charge via rover for extra/odd services like that?!)

Basically, I get a bad feeling about some of these requests because they are so odd right out of the gate. How best to avoid being scammed or spammed?

commented answer If a sitter needs to add a day to the beginning of a request that has already been accepted, do they have to cancel that request and send a new one or can an existing booking be edited?

yes, very good idea! easier for client and sitter while boosting sitter ratings and payday. BRAVO!
