What does “You have exceeded the posting volume limit for this account” on Craigslist mean?
By Filliate | May 24, 2008
Recently we have heard people getting the error “You have exceeded the posting volume limit for this account” on Craigslist.org when posting in the Service section. Craiglist does not disclose what your posting volume is or what exactly this means for each category. Have you had a similar experience on Craigslist?
It appears Craigslist is limiting 3 posts in the same category within a 48 hour period.
Leave a comment and share your posting experience and how many ads you were able to place under one account.

I got that message when attempting to post my 4th ad in “Services”. At this point even reposting an expired ad wouldn’t work.
Probably back posting tomorrow.
Anyone else knows what the limits may be. I suspect we’ll have to find on our own, CL wouldn’t post that kind of thing andI understand why

Craigslist is becoming worse and worse. They were known for usability but now they are becoming harder to use. At least say way the “posting volume is” TELL ME HOW MANY I CAN POST CRAIGSLIST!!

(Directly From Craigslist TOS FAQ’s)
How often can I post?
You may post to one category and in one city, no more often than about every 48 hours.
If you are submitting a post that is similar to another currently active post of yours on the site, you will get a blocked message. Removing the active post will allow you to post the new ad, unless the active post is less than 48 hours old.
If you’ve lost the email that allows you to manage/remove your post, you can have it resent here: http://www.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/resend.

Following the advice of 1 ad per account every 48 hours will greatly help your account from being banned. Currently you can usually get 3 ads per account every 24 hours, but this is a sure way to get it banned quickly. Go to CLPostPro.info and they’ll show you step by step how to create unlimited accounts for free!
