The title and description of the ad

The content of your ad must respect the following rules:

  • Be related to the product/good/service offered.
  • Do not present an abusive use of keywords.
  • Do not include a phone number or email address (neither in the title, nor in the description, nor on a photo).
  • Do not present any sectarian, discriminatory, sexist, or related to organizations and individuals responsible for crimes against humanity.

Duplicates

You cannot place the same ad several times on the site. Each ad must have a unique title, description and photos.

If you need to sell the same product several times, you have to make the sales one by one, via a new ad.

The photos

The photos of your ad must be added in PNG, JPG or JPEG format, and their weight should ideally not exceed 15mo. They must illustrate your property and not be already used on another of your ads.

  • Minor children
  • Logos only
  • Link to a website or presence of a QR code
  • Phone number or email address
  • Not related to the proposed offer
  • Pornography, nudity

The location of the ad

Your ad must be located in the city where your good/product/service is located, even if you offer nationwide delivery.
