Putting everything in right city, category and sub category place

Get the category right

Writing a great ad

Follow the ad template
Keep website links and contact details in the designated place and out of your ad title, description and photos. Don’t be tempted to spam with keywords. Steer clear of disputes by writing a clear and honest description of your item. Use plain English and keep it clean. That goes for the images you post too. You’re welcome to add a translation in another language in your item description. Ads that clearly state what the item is are easier for users to find

The price is right
Clearly state the price you want for your item.
