Craigslist has held on to its market share quite strongly for a long time, but more recently it has clearly started to weaken with Facebook Marketplace and a plethora of more special-purpose apps that are much more mobile-centric. I'm glad they are finally starting to defend their share. I'll be curious to watch: time will tell if they were too late in transitioning to mobile or will it be just fine for them.


I find that Nextdoor gets me more responses on for-sale items and none of them are scams. On Craigslist I get fewer and the majority are scams. I only bother with Craigslist these days when I’m looking to buy, or if I’m selling an item expensive enough to worry about getting the best price.
