Craigslist Posting Software Review
Several months ago I purchased a copy of a Craigslist posting software called EZ Ad Poster from ezadsuite.com. The $97 software could save me hours of posting my classifieds on Craigslist, I thought.
Since I post allot to Craigslist I needed an auto posting craigslist software to simplify the process and Ez Ad Poster seemed like it would be the perfect solution!
The softwares promises
- Easy to use with literally no learning curve.
- Create, save and post unlimited ad campaigns.
- Create hundreds of ad variations in seconds.
- Unlimited number of emails rotated through your ads.
- Automatic self updating software!
Which I have got to say it does, well it did! It was easy to figure out how to use and worked excellent for a few months.
The second month of use the posting software started moving very slow. I mean the process that normally took 15 minutes was running at least 45 minutes.
About four months ago the software stopped working. In the fourth month it started telling me my software was not registered and refused to work at all. I visited the website to email support. After 5 days I never got a reply. I sent another email, only to get no reply again.
I remembered I paid via Google Checkout, so I went over and logged into my account to see if they had a support number. No number was listed but I was able to open a ticket. I opened the ticket and yet again never heard anything back. Furious at this point, I sent another email to the gmail account listed on the website for support.
5 days latter I got an email asking me what my order number was and what my problem was. Both I had included in the emails I had been sending. Now my blood is boiling, I sent a reply stating that all of those questions were answered in the email I had sent, but I went ahead and answered them again.
I never got a reply. Now, my support ticket I opened over at Google Checkout still had not been answered. It is now over a month since my first email.
Two weeks later I got an email asking me what issue I was having. Now, I had already explained what problem I was having in every single email I sent. Why are they asking me this when it is clearly in the email I sent? I sent my reply back and have never heard back. It has now been several months, and I finally gave up.
My overall impression is the creator of the software has HORRIBLE service. He is selling a product that is just shy of $100 and it does not work as promised. Had I of known I was spending $97 for a craigslist software that would only last 4 months, I would have bought another product.
The funny thing is, I bet when he realizes I posted this and it will get found on Google he will contact me!
Don’t waste your money on the Easy Ad Suite Craigslist Software!

I had been seriously looking at this tool, but now I’m not so sure…
I had asked them a sales question earlier today, and they responded within less than 10 minutes.
Thanks for this review.

I purchased ez ad a couple of weeks ago. Easy to order, easy to load. Nothing from then on. Started program, would not register through their server. Tried to load random phrases, would not load. Contacted their support three, 3, times asking for help. NO RESPONSE.
The good thing about asking for help via email this many times, is that there is a trail of them not responding. There is actually a tracking of my emails being delivered to them. My solution, the product doesnt work, they wont help, dispute the charge. Disputed no problem. They should not get paid for a product that does not work and they do not support.

I also tried Easy Ad Poster and Craygo. The service on both of them were horrible. I eventually settled on Ad Master and found Mark over at Living Easy Software to have the best service I’ve ever seen in the internet marketing world. Definitely would recommend Ad Master: http://www.livingeasysoftware.com

I’ve purchased Easy Ad Poster Deluxe version for $397.00 and it worked fine but now it does not any longer because they want you to pay extra for so called OUTSOURCING to get captcha somewhere from India.
I agree that they (I think it is ONE person company) have terrible support almost none existent. The creator of this program is concentraing on selling a new software very agressively promoting that and that’s the main reason that they Easy Ad Poster is falling behind some other players in the market.
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO BUY IT!
