How does it work?
The
Featured Ads that are shown are randomly selected amongst all the
Featured Ads in that location. This is done randomly to guarantee that
all users will have the same chance to appear.
This is why it’s possible that your ad will not always show up in the Featured Ads section.
How much will the visits to my ad increase?
The goal of Featured Ads is to increase the visibility of your ad.
Results of an internal study show with Featured Ads, on average, 8 times more people will see your ad compared to regular ads. On the categories with the most ads you can get as many as 20 times the visibility.
How do I buy a Featured Ad?
You
can buy a Featured Ad from the last step of the posting process which
confirms that your ad has been published or from My Account.
The process
is straightforward. You select whether you want to buy a Home Page
Featured Ad or a Top of the Listings and Search Results Featured Ad or
both. You select how many weeks you want to feature your ad for.
You
are then taken to the payment page with a variety of payment options.
Your item will then go in a queue to be approved by our Customer
Service Team. Once it’s approved you will receive an email confirmation.

I don't see my ad in the Featured Ads area
If you bought a Featured Ad and don’t see it in the designated area, please:
- Verify
you received an email confirmation confirming your featured ad was
approved by Customer Service. It may take up to 24 hours for Featured
Ads to be approved.
- Verify the start and end dates for your Featured Ad in the email confirmation.
- Remember
that your ad is in “rotation” with others in the same category and
location so it’s not always shown. As a rule of thumb, in any given day
there won’t be more than 18 ads in “rotation” in a category in a given
city so your ad will be shown approximately once every three times the
page is loaded for Featured Ads at the top of the Listings and Search
Results.
- If you still see an error, contact our Customer Service Team.
Why can't I modify my ad?
To
guarantee a good experience to the visitor (who may have bookmarked
your ad), we don’t allow Featured Ads to be modified until the Featured
