If you are having problems posting in Craigs list try this.
After you get an account make sure you click on your state first, then go to your point 2 area to add from the synidcation area. it will pull up craigs list in your state.(you can tell what state your in , by the upper left corner of main web page) Choose the location closes to your area.
Other wise you are posting in the default area San Fran area. You will get deleted and adding an area is pointless, have tried repeatedly to add areas.
It worked for me!
