Well, if you have clicked "craigslist facsheet" you will find the answers of your questions.

Q: How does craigslist support its operations?
A: By charging below-market fees for job ads in 10 cities, and for brokered apartment listings in NYC.

Q: How much are job ads?
A: $25 in Chicago, NYC, LA, DC, Boston, Portland, Sacramento, Seattle, and San Diego, and $75 in SF.

I hope this helps!

My hubby did some sellings on craigslist and he ran into a lot of flakes here in metro Phoenix than he did with eBay.

He said he doesn't recommend craigslist here in Phoenix to make some bucks.

This was just in the newspaper. They sell classified ads in only 10 cities for jobs and apartments at only $25 each, which because the site is so popular, grossed them $80 million last year. I think this is TERRIFIC because the rest is free, and I do a lot of bartering (my last success was swapping my aunt's sewing machine with a wonderful massage therapist who gave me two fabulous massages).
