Flagging on craigslist- how to

I normally don't hang around craigslist looking for car seats (to buy or flag) but today I was looking at the babies+kids section and lo and behold, I see the car seat that I freecycled a year ago.

I honestly do not have an issue with it being sold when I gave it away for free, my issue is that it is due to expire in December of this year and the ad says "hardly used" when it has been, in fact, VERY USED by my 2 kids and probably hers. Sure it looks great but it has been used.

Is this flag-able? Or do I just chalk it up to experience to NEVER pass car seats off to strangers no matter how good my intentions are?

How are you sure 100% it is your old car seat? Beyond that you just hit the prohibitted button and then send an e-mail to explain to the person why there ad might disappear off the site. Although it takes more then one flag to pull an ad

Well, how do you know for sure that it's your seat? I mean, no matter what you had, I'm sure someone else in the same geographic area had the same seat/cover.

Regardless, CL's policy on prohibited items is that you can't sell anything that is dangerous to children. That's what I use when I'm flagging expired seats. The ad may be deceptive, but it's not dangerous.

because:
(a) I bought that online so that pattern is not available in any of the stores in our community
(b) we have such a small community - as in we only have one store that sells car seats
(c) She's selling it with the 2 bases that I gave her
(c) I guess this is the smoking gun - it's the same person that I actually gave it to. Same name, contact number

You could buy it back from her using a alias e-mail and then just show up. Or maybe she will do the right thing and take the ad down
