Yes in fact that is the only thing I have to say. While the concept is interesting, the lack of well done design detracts me from the page and service, leaving me uninterested. You can't tell someone how to design well, its not one specific thing that needs to be changed.
Craigslist's elegance exists in it's utter simplicity. This site does not attempt to be visually simple; it intends to be conspicuous and eye-catching, and does so in a way that might come off as annoying or excessive.

Interesting concept, unfortunate design.. Sorry. In this day and age of web design, you need to be at a different level than this.
Really that's it? You just say it sucks but can't offer anything substantive or actionable or even remotely helpful?

Yes, if only craigslist had better design, then maybe people would use it...
