IMPORTANT: You can edit published ads anytime via "My Ads" click Edit. Update price, photos, description, title, or category as needed. Major edits (title, category, big price change) reset your ad position to bottom. Minor edits don't affect position. Edit frequently to keep ads fresh – weekly maintenance recommended.
BEST PRACTICE: Edit your ads weekly: reduce price 10-15% after 3-7 days if no sales, add "Still available" or "Price reduced", upload better photos, enhance description with buyer questions answered. Time major edits (title/category change) for peak hours (evenings/weekends). Always preview before saving. Mark as "SOLD" immediately when transaction complete.

Troubleshooting multi-posting
Common issues:
Ads Removed As Duplicates

- Delete one, improve other
- Appeal to support if legitimate
Low Performance Across Postings
- Fundamental ad issues (price, photos)
- Fix original before crossposting
- Single great ad > multiple poor
Exceeded Limits
- Cannot post more crossposts
- Wait 24h or delete one
- Upgrade to premium
Category Rejection
- Not genuinely relevant
- Choose more appropriate categories
- Single focused category better
IMPORTANT: You can post the same ad in up to 3 relevant categories (must customize title/photos) or 1 pickup city + 2 delivery cities. Identical duplicate ads are prohibited (removal + warnings). Customize each posting slightly and limit to maximum 3 total.
BEST PRACTICE: Post in primary category with maximum effort (best photos, description). Add 1-2 secondary categories only if genuinely relevant, customizing title/photos for each. For multi-city, offer delivery with clear costs. Monitor performance and delete underperformers. Single perfect ad often outperforms multiple average crossposts.

Renew weekly during peak hours (evenings/weekends). Delete zero-performance ads. Check dashboard daily, renew before full expiration. Time renewals for maximum visibility.

- Accessories shown
- File size OK (under 5MB)

TEST: Would YOU buy based on these photos?
IMPORTANT: Ads with photos receive 5-10x more responses than text-only ads. Upload 3-5 clear, well-lit photos showing multiple angles, key features, and any imperfections. First photo is your thumbnail (choose best overall shot). Use natural daylight, plain backgrounds, and show scale with common objects. Never use stock photos or hide defects.
BEST PRACTICE: Upload 5 high-quality photos: 1) Best overall thumbnail, 2) Key feature close-up, 3) Side angle, 4) Imperfections/wear, 5) Size reference or accessories. Use natural daylight near a window, plain background, and steady hand. Show honesty by photographing any scratches or wear. Arrange so first photo grabs attention. Test: Would you click your own thumbnail?

- First new messages
- Favorites increase
Weekly Trend
- Steady view rate
- Message conversion
- Sale probability rising
Stop Signals
- Views same as pre-bump
- No messages after 3 days
- Don't waste further bumps
Troubleshooting renew/bump issues
Common problems:
Renew Not Working
- Recently renewed (24h cooldown)
- Technical glitch refresh/try later
- Contact support
Bump Not Available
- Free bump quota used
- Ad too new (wait 7 days)
- Insufficient points/balance
Position Not Top
- Multiple sellers renewed same time
- Normal – still higher than before
- Patience, views will come
No Performance Boost
- Ad content needs improvement first
- Price too high
- Wrong category
IMPORTANT: Renew expired ads (30-day extension, top position, free) via My Ads Expired Renew. Bump active ads (7-day refresh to top, may cost points) via Active Bump. Renew anytime, bump weekly for steady visibility. Track performance: 2-3x view increase = success.
BEST PRACTICE: Renew expired ads immediately (preserves data, top position). Bump active ads weekly if getting 50+ views (steady visibility). Use combination: Bump weeks 1-3, renew week 4, repeat. Time bumps for peak hours (evenings/weekends). Stop bumping zero-response ads. Monitor ROI: 3-5x message increase justifies cost.

IMPORTANT: SnapSellGo has 13 main marketplace categories: For Sale, Electronics, Vehicles, Property, Services, Jobs, Community, Free Items, Wanted, Pets, Sports, Books, and Business Equipment. Each contains multiple subcategories. Choose the most specific subcategory where your buyers will search (e.g., "Laptops" not just "Electronics"). Wrong categories mean buyers won't find your ad. High-competition categories need excellent photos and competitive pricing.
BEST PRACTICE: When posting, select the most specific subcategory where your target buyers search. Research where similar items are listed. For high-competition categories like Electronics and Vehicles, use model numbers in titles and upload 5+ excellent photos. For services, mention experience and service area. Always verify you're in the right category before publishing – wrong category means no visibility.
NEED HELP? If you're unsure which category fits your item/service, your ad was moved to another category, can't find the right subcategory, or want advice on category selection for maximum visibility, contact
