sometimes I send 10 sellers emails regarding their items, and not a single one responds. I am not a spammer, these are items I am legit interested in. I know craigslist's website looks stupid but I think behind the scenes it does a lot of analysis. something about me must be raising red flags and the sellers are not receiving my emails. I dont know what it is. it cannot be my ip since I am using coffee shop ip resolving to a real isp, unless some dumb ass spammed craigslist from the same coffee shop. But I have tried multiple coffee shops with the same result. it cannot be my laptop since this happens with a brand new laptop. at this point the only thing I can think of is they don't like my email provider. it's not one of the famous ones like yahoo hotmail, it's one of the anonymous ones (I won't mention which but let's say protonmail). I think if you are using one of these email providers that are known for "privacy" craigslist automatically assumes you are up to no good and doesn't forward the email. thoughts?
 
1. Use a known email provider like Gmail
2. Reach out to more people (If you reach out to 30 people, 5 will reply)
