I hear lots of success stories but must confess.....no craigslist or ebay (ever)
I'll stick with retail clearance racks or an occassional thrift store for my bargain shopping.
You are missing out on a lot of great deals and great avenues to sell things for more than you would get in a garage sale. I use Craigslist and ebay and have never had an issue.

I have a few times. I've sold a bed and two couches on Craigslist.
The last time was on New Year's Day. I told my son that I sold my couch and they were coming to pick it up. He said, "mom, you need to be careful".......so, then that spooked me.
I called my neighbor and asked if they were watching football and would they mind at 2:00 to come over and watch it at my house for a little bit. I told her what I was doing and she about had a cow and said, yes, Eric and I will be over!
Well, Eric is about 6'2 and a healthy looking guy. So, the doorbell rings and these two guys are standing there and they had rented a U-haul van. I was never so glad to have warm bodies sitting on my couch as I was then. There was no incident, but I did realized the situation I had put myself in and I will NOT do that again.
I was so happy that my neighbors were available that I gave them a huge tin of expensive nuts I had received for Christmas!!!!
You could have potentially run into the same issue if you would have put an ad in the newspaper........you did the wise thing.

There are lots of services provided on CL. When browsing CL you are just one or two mouse clicks away from porn.
You're just a mouse click away from porn using Google search if you're not careful! Had a lady call me when I worked at a call center for at&t, yelling that their internet service didn't filter Google image search results. Her 10 year old daughter and a friend got a surprise when looking up something for their schoolwork about wood.
I've found jobs, our last apartment and bought/sold various items on CL without any issues.
I browser CL daily. I buy farm equipment and animals etc. I have sold things on there as well. There are scammers everywhere but a little due diligence does the job in most cases.
Just a few clicks away from porn on CL? WHAT? Where are y'all looking? Maybe you should stick with Farm & Garden. Are y'all perusing the singles? Good grief. LOL.

AFF is a couple clicks away from porn too. As a matter of fact, one time some moron posted porn ON AFF. It was deleted immediately and I never even had to report it. Good job, moderators!!

No. I didn't think they allowed ammo sales. I know they don't allow gun sales.
