Since when has Craigslist asked for money when posting a job listing?

Since always, that's how they make money. What did you think they're revenue model was?

I could have swore that I posted before and didn't have to pay. Must have been a dream.

yep, as far as i know always. That's the way they make money. Not for offering your freelance services though.

? It's been that way for a long time. It's to discourage joke jobs.

It is a good idea, I just don't remember it being like that before. Thank you for informing me, though.

wow too bad. craigslist is just killing itself.

wow didn't know that..
