Often referred to as the "Good American Corner", Craigslist is a classified ad site between private individuals, founded in 1994 in San Francisco.
As identified by BlockExplorerNews, the service now offers vendors the possibility to indicate that they accept payments in encrypted currencies.
All they have to do is check a box ("cryptocurrency ok"), and they can show that they are ready to be paid in digital money:
Buyers can select "cryptocurrency ok" to find vendors who will accept this payment method:
More secure than cash payments
People who wish to carry out transactions with strangers will thus be able to rely on a new payment method, which will make it possible to take advantage of an alternative to cash payments, which are often considered insecure.
If it is impossible to specify the digital currency with which one wishes to be paid, one could have imagined that the BTC would be a reference on the platform. However, since the transaction costs on the Bitcoin network currently exceed 10 euros on average, it can be assumed that many sellers could be tempted, at least for the time being, to request payments through alternative crypto-currencies (Ethers, Litecoins, Monero,...).
Craigslist did not communicate about the addition of this feature. Therefore, if we don't know exactly why the company added it, we can assume that this is probably to meet a growing demand from the platform's users - whereas this year there has been a strong increase in the popularity of digital currencies.
Coming soon to the Bon Coin?

Yes this happened about 5 days ago and I'm glad it did because cryptocurrency needs to gain mass adoption and this will help to some extent. Without real adoption there's no point of crypto and it'll always remain a speculative bubble. Glad to have seen this happened and I hope more and more ecommerce stores also start accepting payments in bitcoin and other crypto so that they just don't remain a store of value or a bubble but also get wide mass adoption :)
