Staff Answer

You don’t need to have an account to post things on Craigslist. However, sellers often like to make an account because there are benefits that come with it, such as a control panel for managing your ads and easy re-posting if the item hasn’t sold. The ability to manage your posts doesn’t exist if you don’t have an account.
