How can I include images in my Ad?

SolutionTo include images in your Ad:

  1. On the Post Ad or Edit Ad page you should see a section called "Images" (right below the description box).
  2. Click the "Select Images" button.
  3. Select a picture file from your computer's hard disk and click "OK". The picture will then be uploaded and attached to your Ad.

You can add up to 4 pictures (10 in Housing and Cars) using the same process. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words, so including one or more with your Ad will increase your chance of getting several replies.

If you have problems uploading pictures, please try the following:

  1. Turn on JavaScript in your web browser

  2. Reduce the size of the pictures to be less than 4MB each
  3. How can I check if the picture size is less than 4MB(=4,000kb)?

    1. Go to the folder where the image is stored
    2. Click view > details, it gives you information about image size and file type
      OR Right click the image -> properties

    If more than 4MB, find image resizer and reduce the size. Free online image resizer examples:

    It may take a few minutes to upload the picture so please be patient.

  4. Ensure the pictures are in GIF, JPEG or BMP format
  5. Turn off any anti-virus or firewall software
  6. Make sure you're using the latest version of your web browser
