Ads and publishing

Choose the right category and listing type

Put products, services, jobs and property in the correct marketplace section so the right people can find them.

Start with what you are advertising

  • Choose Product for tangible items, vehicles and equipment.
  • Choose Service for work, lessons, repairs or professional assistance.
  • Use the dedicated Property and Job journeys for those listing types.
  • Use Wanted when you are looking for something rather than offering it.

Select the most specific category

Follow the category choices until you reach the closest accurate option. Specific categories unlock relevant fields and filters, helping buyers compare the listing without forcing unrelated vehicle, property or service questions.

If the category is wrong

Edit the existing draft or listing instead of publishing a duplicate. If the correct category is unavailable, contact support with the listing title and the category you expected to find.

Common questions

Can I advertise driving lessons under Cars?

No. Driving lessons are a service and should use the appropriate lessons or driving-services category rather than a vehicle category.

Will changing category change the listing URL?

The permanent listing URL is intended to remain stable when a category is corrected.
