By: E&P Staff After months of speculation, Craigslist confirmed it's going to charge a $10 listing fee for to the brokered apartment category in New York City, effective March 1.
Craigslist implemented the fee after "ethical" and "usability" concerns over the sections typically clogged with listings.
"The high volumes of postings in these categories encourages [sic] frequent re-posting of the same listings, creating a vicious cycle. That can be really annoying to everyone, making these categories much less useful. Many brokers and renters have suggested that a small fee could do wonders in eliminating this problem, saving lots of time and headache for all concerned," said the posting http://forums.craigslist.org/?forumID=20040204.
Craigslist also charges for job listings in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, though it?s considering adding another four cities to the list.
