Here in the UK we have sellers on a similar site to Craigslist, called Gumtree. Its an eBay-owned spin-off.
Sellers sometimes offer remarkable items, at attractive prices, but will never manage to complete the deal, no matter how hard you try.
I've offered to pay for post and packing, or to collect, or to send my courier who'll collect it then pack it, meet at a coffee shop...
I think some "sellers" just like the attention they attract. Sitting there on the sofa anonymously, receiving messages, or enjoying the sport of fishing. Seeing who'll bite. Wanting to be part of something but having nothing to contribute. A cry for help.
They tend not to know anything about what they're listing. Only having pictures they gleaned from elsewhere.
Walk away. Consider it non-existent.
