We are not Craigslist and we don’t want to be.  We are, and will always be, a community site.

The Craigslist Killer. Just the name alone is enough to make you scared of using the internet to buy and sell you things.  You realize that you are buying things from complete strangers and who knows how sane or deranged they may be.  We just wanted to tell you that it’s OK to be cautious but don’t let it get the best of you! 

We’re not Craigslist.  Nor do we strive to be.  Craigslist is great, but it’s huge.  There is no telling who you are talking to.  TheFreeWay a local site for local people.  We take great strides in monitoring our site so that you don’t get spammed.  We would also hope that you don’t get scammed, but there will always be those sketch balls out there and we will always be there fighting them.

We do NOT and will NOT ever have “adult services” listings on our site.  We are family site; A community site. You shouldn’t have to worry about your child using our site.  And if you see an ad on our site that isn’t exactly inappropriate, but you don’t feel good about it, then let us know!  There is a “Report This Ad” button at the bottom of every listing or you can always just send us an email.

We are concerned about the safety of our community.  We are also concerned about your thoughts or misgivings.  It’s OK to be cautious about buying from a stranger (even if they are local!)  Be a smart buyer and protect yourself. Take a friend with you when you go to pick up an item from a stranger.  Meet in a public place!  Go with your gut instincts.  If it feels wrong, for any reason, then it is.  Buying an item you need for less is an awesome feeling!  Working with your community is a great feeling too.  Although there can be some potholes on the road to online buying, don’t let them stop you form reaching your goal of an awesome deal!
