Classified Ads


You set an asking price for your item, service or property. Classified Ad listings do not result in feedback because the format aims to generate multiple leads rather than a single winning bidder.

Classified Ads have the following features:

  • You can list your asking price; no bidding takes place.

  • Interested buyers fill out a contact form, and their information is sent to you.

  • List your phone number and buyers can call you (optional).

  • You can advertise your item, service or property for a specific period of time.

  • You may revise your item at any time in the listing duration.


Use this format when:

  • You want to advertise your property for a specific period of time.

  • You want to generate multiple leads and complete your transaction off-eBay.


There is currently no fee to use the Classified Ad format.


The seller must treat the buyer's contact information in full compliance with eBay's Privacy Policy. This policy prohibits sharing the buyer's information with third parties as well as use of the buyer's information for any purpose other than communicating with the buyer about the item, unless expressly permitted to do so by the buyer. Failure to comply with this policy can result in the seller's suspension or expulsion from the eBay Community.
