Listing Rules

5 sections

Every listing must truthfully represent the item, service, or profile being advertised. Misleading information, false claims, or deceptive practices are strictly prohibited.

  • Prices must be stated in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) and must reflect the actual selling price.
  • If an item is damaged, used, or has defects, this must be clearly disclosed in the description.
  • All details in the title, description, price, and images must accurately represent the advertised item or service.

Posting in the correct category helps buyers find your listing easily and ensures your ad reaches the right audience. Misplaced ads create a poor browsing experience for everyone.

  • Ads must be posted in the single most relevant category and subcategory. Choose carefully before publishing.
  • Incorrectly categorized listings may be removed or rejected without notice.
  • Posting the same ad across multiple categories is prohibited and will be treated as spam.
  • If no relevant category exists for your item, it is likely not permitted on the platform.

Photos are the first thing buyers notice about your listing. Clear, honest images build trust and lead to faster sales.

  • Images should show the actual item being advertised. Do not use photos of a different item.
  • Images must be clear, well-lit, and of reasonable quality. Blurry or dark photos may be removed.
  • Misleading, offensive, or copyrighted images are not allowed.
  • Stock images should only be used where appropriate and should be clearly representative of the item.
  • Do not include text, watermarks, phone numbers, website URLs, or contact information overlaid on images.

Well-written ads are more likely to attract genuine buyers. Follow these guidelines to create effective listings:

  • Provide a clear and detailed description including relevant details such as brand, model, condition, and reason for selling.
  • Do not include external website links, URLs, QR codes, phone numbers, email addresses, or social media handles in your ad description or images.
  • Use our built-in chat feature to communicate with buyers - this keeps your conversations safe and on record.
  • Avoid keyword stuffing, spam, excessive capital letters, or offensive language. Write naturally for humans, not search engines.
  • Ads must be written in English

No. Duplicate listings are not permitted. Each item should have one listing at a time.

  • Do not create multiple ads for the same item.
  • If your ad has expired, create a fresh listing instead of duplicating an old one.
  • Posting the same ad across multiple categories is also considered duplication and will be treated as spam.
