Craigslist Problems

Why Craigslist Feels Outdated

Completely Anonymous

No verification at all. Anyone can post anything anonymously, making it a haven for scammers.

Outdated Experience

1990s-style interface with basic app that lacks modern features like in-app payments and user verification.

No Rental Option

Can only buy and sell - miss out on the opportunity to rent items or earn passive income from your unused stuff.

Every user verified with government ID. Know exactly who you're dealing with.
