Category mismatch is a common reason for rejection. To help us approve your ad faster, confirm your item is placed in the correct category.
Correct category = faster ad activation and better responses.
What Goes Where
- Main products → List under the main category (e.g., Mobiles, Cars, Furniture)
- Accessories or parts → Use the relevant Accessories sub-category (e.g., Bike Spares, Mobile Accessories)
- Services, repair, or help → Always choose Services
- If you are seeking candidates for jobs,→ Use the Jobs category with L2 specific to job requirements
Quick check: If your item can’t work on its own, it’s likely an accessory or part. If buyers pay for your time or work, it’s a service. If you need a cook or driver for yourself, it’s a job.
Before You Post
