# HOW TO DELETE A CRAIGSLIST POSTING
## THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINS HOW TO DELETE AN ACTIVE CRAIGSLIST POSTING FROM WITHIN THE EBIZAUTOS PLATFORM. USE THIS WHEN YOU NEED TO REMOVE A VEHICLE LISTING FROM CRAIGSLIST — FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A VEHICLE HAS SOLD, THE LISTING CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION, OR YOU SIMPLY NO LONGER WANT IT ADVERTISED.
#### Before You Begin
- You must be logged in to your eBizAutos account at `https://apps.ebizautos.com`
- You must have access to the **Craigslist** module for your dealership
- Deleting a post removes the active listing from Craigslist, but does **not** remove the vehicle from your inventory
#### Steps
### 1. Navigate to Craigslist Posts
In the left sidebar, click **Craigslist** to expand the menu, then click **Posts**.
You will land on the **Craigslist Posts** page, which displays all active postings for your dealership along with a count of total posts in the page header (for example: *Craigslist Posts - eBizAutos Demo Dealership (2000)*).
### 2. Make Sure the Active Tab Is Selected
At the top of the posts list, confirm the **Active** tab is selected. Only active postings can be deleted from this view. Inactive (already removed or expired) postings live under the **Inactive** tab.
### 3. Find the Posting You Want to Delete
You can locate the posting in any of the following ways:
- **Scroll** the list manually
- **Search Stock# or ID** — enter the stock number or post ID
- **Search Area** — filter by the Craigslist posting area (e.g., *las vegas*)
- **Post Date From / Post Date To** — filter by the date the post was placed
After entering any filters, click **Submit** to apply them.
### 4. Open the Manage Menu
In the row for the posting you want to delete, look at the **Manage** column on the far right. Click the ellipsis icon (**⋯**) to open the action menu.
The menu contains three options:
| Option | What It Does |
| --- | --- |
| **View Post** | Opens the live listing on Craigslist in a new tab |
| **Repost** | Removes the current post and submits a fresh listing to Craigslist |
| **Delete Post** | Removes the active posting from Craigslist |
### 5. Click Delete Post
Select **Delete Post** from the dropdown menu. The posting will be removed from Craigslist and moved from the **Active** tab to the **Inactive** tab in eBizAutos.
#### What Happens After Deletion
- The listing is removed from Craigslist
- The post is moved to the **Inactive** tab in eBizAutos for record-keeping
- The vehicle **remains in your dealership inventory** and is still available on your website and any other connected marketing channels
- If you need the listing back on Craigslist, you can post it again from the **Inventory** sub-menu under Craigslist
#### Important Notes
- **Deletion is immediate.** Once a post is deleted, you cannot recover it — you would need to create a new post.
- **Craigslist caching:** It may take a short time for the listing to fully disappear from Craigslist search results due to their caching.
- **Automated posts:** If the **Source** column shows *Automated Tool*, the post was created by the eBizAutos automated posting system. Deleting it removes the current post but does not change your automation rules. To stop a vehicle from being auto-posted in the future, update your settings under **Craigslist → Dashboard → Automated Campaigns**.
