Classifieds

What Are Classifieds?

Classifieds are a listing type alongside auctions and products. A classified listing displays an item at a fixed price with no bidding — buyers contact the seller directly to arrange the purchase.

Classifieds are not available when Store Only Mode is enabled.

Creating a Classified

Creating a classified follows the same process as creating any other listing. On the Sell page, select Classified from the Listing Type dropdown, choose a category, and fill in the listing details.

The screenshot above shows the Listing Basics step with Classified selected as the listing type. The rest of the setup — content, media, pricing, delivery, and payment — works the same way as for auctions and products.

Once you complete the setup and confirm payment (if a classified setup fee applies), the listing is published and appears on the confirmation page.
