New York City apartment brokers are being told that a listing fee is on its way to place ads on Craigslist and later this year Washington area employers may be asked to pay fees for ads on the region’s job listings page, The Washington Post reports. Starting March 1, a $10 fee will be imposed for listings in New York with hopes of deterring the brokers who list the same apartment several times in a single day.
Craigslist executives have also had similar concerns about its job listings pages, prompting a fee for postings in select cities. A job ad in New York and Los Angeles is priced at $25, while a user who posts a job for San Francisco pays $75. In addition to Washington, job listings in San Diego, Boston and Seattle are being considered for a possible fee later this year.
