New Features! Craigslist Scheduling and Automated Craigslist Posting Process

Since Craigslist converted to $5 per posting in the Cars & Trucks by Dealer category, we’ve been hard at work to create the best possible Craigslist integration available to automotive dealers! As a result, our dealers have been reporting phenomenal traffic and sales statistics resulting from their Craigslist posting initiatives. Our new automated Craigslist posting process and our post scheduling tools are not just for dealers posting to the Cars & Trucks by Dealer category. RV, Commercial Truck, Motorcycle, Powersports, Boat, Campers, Heavy Equipment, and Trailer dealers can all benefit from our new streamlined process to easily and effortlessly launch your inventory to the #1 online Classified site.

For dealers interested in a hands-free process, we offer a new, fully automated listing method designed to provide your dealership with the best possible exposure. Once setup, the process will list the units you want, when you want, leaving you and your team more time to work with the leads that you receive from your high quality Craigslist postings. First, determine the number of postings that you want to go live each month. A series of filters and settings will then determine which units should be eligible to be posted and the order in which they are posted. Let us know the days you want the postings to go live and your preferred time range for optimal exposure. Your selected vehicles will then be launched from your Auction123 account to your Craigslist account directly from your PC. Let us know if we should automatically revise your postings or if you would like us to remove as the units are marked sold in your Auction123 account.

If you are seeking an option that allows you more control, choosing the day and time you want each unit to go live, we now offer a Craigslist posting scheduler. Simply choose the unit, set the posting schedule, and your listing will be pushed live from your PC at the selected time.

These options are currently available for any free posting category and to dealers who have pre-purchased bulk postings from Craigslist. We will be rolling out integration for dealers who pay-per-posting very soon!

Call us today to get setup on the new application: (888) 514-0123, Option 2

New Features Coming Soon to Our Craigslist Posting Tools!

As many of you have probably heard, Craigslist will begin charging $5 per posting in the Cars & Trucks by Dealer category beginning December 3rd. In light of this news, we here at Auction123 have been developing some exciting new features to accommodate these changes. Our goal is to simplify your Craigslist posting process and to assist in the management of your Craigslist posting budget.

Craigslist has been updating their message to the dealer community since the announcement on the FAQ page below. Be sure to check back often.

If you are planning on posting more than the occasional handful of vehicles, we advise that you sign up for a paid posting account through Craigslist. To apply, complete the form here: https://accounts.craigslist.org/accountSignup. Once you’ve submitted the form, call Craigslist billing at 415-399-5200 x8283 to purchase postings in bulk.

For now, it appears you can purchase bulk postings via check with a minimum purchase of $2000 (400 postings) or by Credit Card with a minimum purchase of $500 (100 postings).  If you are paying by check, payment must be received in advance of posting. If you have pre-purchased a minimum of $2000 worth of postings, you can request to receive invoices going forward. Blocks of car/truck by-dealer postings are currently available for the cities/posting regions listed here: http://www.craigslist.org/about/ctd_blocks.

We will keep you in the loop as new posting features become available. Stay tuned!
