Photos
What are the specifications for online photos?
This site accepts GIF and JPG file formats with a maximum file size of 100 KB.
What if I don't have photos to put in my ad?
That's okay. Many ads run without photos. You can even start to create your ad now, save it, and then come back later and add a photo before you actually place your ad.
We do recommend you include a photo of what you're selling. Besides giving potential buyers a look at your item, the photo will be shown with search results as well on the listing detail page. Digital photos can be created by using a digital camera or by scanning from a printed photograph or negative.
Real Estate Ads
Can I include open houses in my Real Estate ad?
Yes. You can provide this information in the text open house dates and details while creating your ad. This information will be displayed in your ad to viewers of this site.
What happens if I cancel my account?
If you cancel your account and still have an ad running, your ad will continue to run until its expiration date. Unfortunately, you will not have access to your ad history and reporting. You will also be unable to edit or delete the ad.
Do I get a refund if I cancel my ad?
No. You will not get a refund if you chose to cancel your ad yourself. Typically, people cancel ads when they have already sold the item before the natural end date of the ad.
