What is the most reliable 'flat fee' online MLS listing service?
I see there are a bunch of them. Most seem to have shady or bad reviews. Anyone have experience using this when doing a FSBO? ... I'd appreciate your feedback who to use to get my house on the MLS (not using a realtor).
Thank you!

Most times, you still have to offer a buyer's agent a commission with this flat fee listing. You get what you pay for... as a Broker myself, the flat fee companies are very frustrating... They don't update listing statuses, we as buyer's agents still have to do some of the agency disclosure paperwork with the seller and estimated net sheets required by our RE commission - so frankly they're a pain in the rear. As other's are saying, I'd recommend finding a new or either hungry agent looking for listings to list at a reduced listing side commission - let them do all the work for you. Try looking at some of the larger offices in your area, especially ones that also facilitate real estate courses - reach out to the managing Broker and ask them to recommend a newer agent to you that would do it for a reduced listing fee - worth a try!
