Help: Ad packages

Which ad package is right for my item?

Think about what you’re selling, how much it’s worth and what you think buyers will want to know about your item.

Standard packages

Straightforward items
A no-fuss package for easy-to-sell objects like household items & business appliances.

More pictures offer more detail
Use up to 9 pictures online to show features to spark buyers’ interest. For detailed or obscure items show the finer points of your item to gain buyers’ interest rather than trying to describe them with words.

Gain interest
An online thumbnail picture attracts attention and gives buyers a preliminary look at your item while searching or browsing.

Get Noticed! packages

Highlighting large and expensive items
Great for large and expensive items (eg vehicles, boats and furniture) where buyers are likely to want a good look before making a big purchase or taking the time to enquire further.

Draw attention – buyers are more likely to see your ad first!
The priority positioning ensures that your ad displays toward the top of a buyer’s search results and the blue highlighted background stands out against other ads when a buyer is browsing online.
