Although CL has been fine so far, I must warn you that if you're selling a competitive item/product, there's no telling what your competition might do to keep you from competing with them. I'm not saying you'll disappear or anything like that, as I've had for the most part, good experience with selling on CL. One of the biggest issues you will have to deal with is the non-stop flagging that you have to put up with. If you don't mind having a simple system to repost each time you get flagged, you should be fine.
Something that I would like to warn everybody about is that if your competition thinks they can not get rid of you by constantly flagging your ad, they might take it a step further. In my case, I know that I was reported to the company that sells the famous language learning software and was sent a Cease & Desist letter. All the competitor has to do is to call the investigative number for that company, send them a copy of your email reply, with evidence (picture), and what I think was the key to why they got all my information was my cell number.
If you're thinking your receiving a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ email to scare you off, think twice. This letter (email) has all your personal information, including your social security number (781-xxx-xxxx).
I still sale on CL but I definitely steer clear from this product.
