Can I Change the Category of a Published Ad?
No. Once an ad has been published, its category cannot be edited or changed.
To help users find relevant listings and maintain accurate search results, categories are locked after publication.
For this reason, it's important to review your category selection carefully before submitting your ad.
How to Choose the Right Category
Before publishing your ad:
1. Review the available categories.
2. Read the category descriptions carefully.
3. Select the category that best matches your listing.
4. Confirm your selection before publishing.
Choosing the correct category can improve visibility and help users find your ad more easily.
What If I Selected the Wrong Category?
If your ad was published in the wrong category, you'll need to create a new listing.
Follow these steps:
1. Create a new ad.
2. Select the correct category during the posting process.
3. Complete and publish the new listing.
4. Delete the incorrectly categorized ad to avoid duplicate listings.
