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; part of the intent is to deter 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; those who post a job for San Francisco pay $75. In addition, job listings in San Diego, Boston and Seattle are being considered for a possible fee later this year.
