Photo Limits & Size: You can upload up to 5 photos, each 2MP or smaller.
Primary Photo: The first image uploaded will be your ad’s primary photo (the thumbnail displayed in search results).
Editing: Click "edit" under an image to modify it (e.g., cropping, rotating). Click "Remove" to delete an image.
Arrangement: You can rearrange the order of your photos by dragging and dropping them into place.
Best Practices: Add photos to showcase your pet and attract more interest. Include different angles and details.
YouTube Video Link (Optional): Add a YouTube video link to your ad. This is highly recommended as videos are excellent for showing a pet's personality and temperament in action.
Confirming your location is vital, as it allows local buyers to find your ad and prevents the need for extensive travel.
You have two options for setting your ad's location:
Click the "Use current location" button.
The system will automatically detect your geographic location and pre-fill the location fields for you.
If your current location isn't correct, or you prefer to set it manually, use the dropdown menus:
Country*: Select your country (e.g., United States).
State*: Select your state (e.g., Florida).
City*: Select your city from the list.
When creating your ad, please ensure accuracy and focus:
Ad Title/Name: Use the pet’s name or a descriptive title (e.g., "Akita Puppy," not "Warehouse for Lease").
Date Consistency: Ensure the Date of Birth field matches the dates mentioned in the description. Inconsistencies will confuse buyers.
Age Rule: Listings for puppies and kittens must not be published until they have reached the 8-week minimum age rule established in our policies.
