What's the difference between individual and business accounts?

Individual accounts are for personal buying and selling. Business accounts allow you to create a dedicated business profile with services, pricing, photo gallery, customer reviews, and receive enquiries directly. Business profiles are similar to listings on platforms like JustDial or Yelp.

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Enter your registered email address, and we'll send you instructions to reset your password.

📝 Posting Ads

How do I post an ad?

After logging in, click the "Post Ad" button. Select a category, fill in the details about your item or service, upload photos, set a price, and publish. Your ad will be live immediately.

How many photos can I upload?

You can upload up to 10 photos per listing. The first photo will be used as the main image. We recommend using clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles.

How long will my ad stay active?

Free ads stay active for 30 days. You can renew them before they expire. Premium package ads stay active for 60-90 days depending on your plan.

Can I edit my ad after posting?

Is it safe to meet sellers in person?

Always meet in public places during daylight hours. Bring a friend if possible. Never share sensitive personal information. See our Safety Tips for more guidelines.

🏢 Business Accounts

What can I do with a business profile?
