Posting Rules
Want to get your item sold on Kijiji without delays? Follow this concise checklist to meet posting rules, avoid common errors, and make your ad stand out. In just a few simple stages you’ll see your listing go live and attract buyers.
THE SHORT VERSION
Kijiji’s algorithm and reviewers look for clear titles, accurate categories, and no prohibited content. A clean, rule‑compliant ad not only passes approval faster but also attracts more legitimate buyers. By starting with a concise, honest description and a high‑resolution photo, you set the stage for a smooth approval process. Remember, each item must be listed in its proper category and must not contain copyrighted material or misleading claims.
When you ignore the posting rules, Kijiji flags or deletes your ad, forcing you to start over. Common pitfalls include using vague titles, excessive hashtags, or uploading prohibited items like weapons or prescription drugs. By following the checklist below, you’ll sidestep these mistakes, keep your listings online longer, and increase visibility in search results.
CHECK THESE FIRST
Three quick checks that make your post bulletproof, keep it compliant, and help it reach the right buyers faster and increase your chances of a sale.
Use a clear, descriptive title that lists the brand, model, and condition. Avoid generic terms like ‘forsale’ or excessive punctuation. A precise title improves search rankings and signals to buyers that you respect posting guidelines from the outset.
Drop your item into the most specific category. Mis‑categorization can trigger a review or removal. If unsure, browse the sub‑categories first to ensure your ad surfaces under the exact search terms buyers use.
Upload at least two high‑resolution images from different angles. Blur or low‑light photos get flagged and reduce engagement. A clear, well‑lit picture demonstrates honesty and satisfies Kijiji’s visual standards.
