Boost Your Visibility
OptionalOur primary monetization comes strictly from optional, value-add "Promoted Listings". If you want to sell or rent your item faster, you can voluntarily purchase premium placements. Options include:
All promotion payments are processed securely via Stripe.
Color Highlight
From $5 - $15 for 7 days
Stand out in the feed. Your listing will be displayed on a colored background with a highlighted title and price, increasing click-through rates by up to 20-30%.
Search Boost / Bump Up
From $10 - $25 for 3-7 days
Get back to the top. This service pushes your listing to the top of the search results and automatically refreshes its position, increasing views by 30-50%.
TOP Placement
From $20 - $50 for 7-30 days
Maximum visibility. Your listing is pinned in a special "Recommended" block at the very top of the page, guaranteeing a premium position that can boost responses by 40-70%.
The Direct Free Boost
We reward active owners. Every 14 days, each of your listings can use a Free Boost: with a single click it is bumped up in the search results, absolutely free. A Free Boost is available whenever the listing has no other active promotion.
Good to Know
- One promotion at a time
- A listing can have one active promotion at a time, including a Free Boost. You can start another once it ends.
- Payments and taxes
- Promotions are paid through Stripe Checkout. Applicable taxes may be added at checkout.
- Refunds
- Fees are non-refundable for the portion already delivered. If a promotion is materially not delivered, the undelivered portion is refunded or credited. See Section 8.2 of our Terms of Use.
