Tips for creating an effective ad
If you really want to create a great ad, it is highly recommended to follow the instructions below:

1. Use a clear title which includes the name of the item you sell. Try to make your title appealing and eye-catching.
2. Set an appropriate price for your item so that the advert is approved. If the price is not relevant, it may be declined. Make sure to carry out some investigation of the prices for a particular item.
3. The description of your product must be informative enough and mustn’t contain any false information regarding your product or service.
4. Upload only unique and high-quality photos of your items taken by yourself and not downloaded from the Internet. The better photos you add, the more attractive your ad looks to the potential buyers and the more calls you receive.
5. Indicate correct contact details for the potential buyers/clients to be able to reach you easily. Try to respond all the incoming calls or to call back your customers once available.
6. Try to fill out all the fields of your profile page, as well as those of your advert, to let your customers dispose of all the necessary information about you as a seller and the products you sell.
7. The better rating you have on our website, the more chances you get to attract a lot of buyers. Remember that it is important to build trust in your business. Your rating depends on the number of positive/negative feedback received from your previous customers.
8. Make your advert as risk-free as possible. Underline that no prepayments are required and be ready to list those delivery services which presuppose payment on the delivery of the product ordered.

2. Pictures you’ve uploaded contain contact numbers. We do not allow posting this kind of photos. Please add pics which don’t have any phone numbers for your ads to go active on UzaBoss.
3. There are certain restrictions concerning prices users might set. Please, input an appropriate price for your advert to be approved. If the price is not relevant, it may be declined. Make sure to carry out some research of a market value of an item you intend to sell.
