IMPORTANT: To post a classified ad on Pickeenoo, log in, click "Post Ad" or "+" button, select appropriate category, write clear title (50-70 characters with key details), add detailed description (3-5 paragraphs), upload 3-5 clear photos, set fair price, confirm location, and publish. Ads with photos receive 5-10x more responses than those without. Your ad typically goes live immediately or within 24 hours after moderation. Respond promptly to inquiries for best results.
BEST PRACTICE: Before posting, prepare 3-5 clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles. Research similar items to set competitive price. Write specific title with brand, model, and condition. Include detailed 3-5 paragraph description covering specifications, condition, reason for selling, and transaction details. Select most specific category. Verify location is correct. After posting, check your ad immediately and respond to inquiries within 1-2 hours. Meet buyers in public places for safety.
