The category decides who sees your ad and which details buyers can filter by. An ad in the wrong category is hard to find and may be sent back for correction.
Finding the category
- Go from general to specific: Mobiles, then Mobile Phones; Vehicles, then Cars.
- If you added photos, the AI suggests a category. Check it before you accept.
- Accessories and parts have their own sub-categories. A phone cover is not a mobile phone.
Category details
Each category has its own fields. Some are required, such as make and model for a car. Some lists depend on another: after you choose the make, only that make's models are offered. If yours is missing, choose "Other" and name it in the description.
Seller-declared details
Some facts only you can know: the PTA status of a phone, the mileage of a car, accident history, warranty. These are marked as declared by the seller. Answer them truthfully. A false declaration is a breach of the marketplace rules and the quickest way to lose a buyer when you meet.
Categories that are always reviewed
Ads in some categories, including property and animals, are always checked by a person before they go live, so allow a little more time.
