1. Choose you category. If you are selling a childs scooter, then 'toys' would be the recommended category. Look out for subcategories for instance for 'motors' has additional subcategories such as motorbikes, cars and carparts. Choose the right subcategory for your item, you cannot place an advert in the 'motors' category. If you feel there is no suitable category for your particular advert then include it in the 'Misc' category, then email us with a suggestion for a new category, we may decide it would be relevant to add as a brand new category.
