[Mediapost] Craigslist Considers Fee For Realty Listings

"In a move to cut down on scams and frivolous listings, Craigslist, a popular online classifieds site, is considering charging a per-post fee for its real estate listings in San Francisco and New York City.

"We're being asked to start charging both by brokers ... and by apartment seekers," Jim Buckmaster, Craigslist CEO said. "As it is now, the volume of postings coming through those categories is just too high, and it's burdensome for all concerned.""
