    I think Craigslist has a function where you can flag a post, but selling fakes would have to be against Craigslist's terms of service for them to remove it and I'm not sure whether it is or isn't. Try flagging it anyway

    Just edited the title to be a bit more verbose as initially the title "Selling Fakes" made me think you were looking for tips on how to do it which we don't do here lol

    Tried reporting these several times, Craigs list really does not seem to care.

    When I was flipping garden tractors, there were many scammers. I would report them and they got pulled every time.
