I understand ed_classified module requires user to be registered, to be able to post classified ads. I would like to suggest the module to be extended to support anonymous/email only types of posts similar to craigslist. The ad will be posted only after the email is confirmed to be working and available - send email to user, which he has to click on.

You can grant anonymous users ability to create ads, can't you?

The email response feature is interesting. I'll think about it.

I'm trying to do something like craigslist... limited anonymous posting.

In my case an anonymous user would...
1) pay for the right to post a certain type of content.
2) once they have submitted payment, they get a token that grants them access to post/edit/delete one instance of this content type.
This token might be sent to them as a URL in email
3) By clicking on this link (with the embedded token), the anonymous person would go to the post and have the ability to edit/delete it.

Are there any modules currently available, or is this something that needs to be written?

thanks.

You can grant anonymous users the ability to post classified ads. The module supports that now.

Email-based posts or Craigslist-type systems are way beyond the scope of this module for the foreseeable future.

I've seen modules that allow email-based posting, perhaps an add-in module will help you achieve your goals.
