How do I move an Ad from one Classifieds category to another?
Last Updated 5 years ago

I posted my ad in the wrong category. How can I move it to another section?

There are many factors that determine whether or not you can move an ad from one category to another. In general, you can not move an ad from a free category into a category which requires an insertion fee.

The best way is to try it and see what options are available to you.

— Before you can make any changes, you must be logged in to your account. You can login here.

— After a successful login, you will find yourself at the My Account page.

— In the left column, click on the link that says My Active Listings. Any active listings will appear on the right side of the page.

— Click on the Manage this Listing button next to the ad you wish to edit. A row of icons will now appear. The icon with the pencil is the Edit function.

— After clicking on the Edit icon, you will go to a new page with even more selections, such as Edit Details, Edit Media, etc. If you are able to move this particular ad into another category, there will be a button that reads Edit Category. Click on this button and on the subsequent page, select the category and subcategory where you would like your ad to appear.

— If there is no Edit Category option, here are your choices:

  1. If the ad is completely free, just repost it in the category where you want it to appear. You should be able to use the Copy Existing Ad function (one of the icons which appears when you click Manage this Listing)
  2. If you paid a fee for the ad, get help from our staff to see if it can be moved. Either send an email to support -at- somd.com or Open a Support Ticket. Be sure to include the Listing Number and the category where you would like to appear. For account security, it is best if you write using the email address registered to your Classifieds' account.
