    How do I make a purchase through Want Ad Digests' online classified Ads?

    One of the advantages for buyers using our online classified ads is that it's completely free to browse. You pay us nothing! We're an intermediary between motivated sellers and interested buyers. There are no fees or subscriptions for buyers; if you find an item that you would like to purchase, there is contact information to get in touch with the seller directly. All transactions beyond that are conducted between the buyer and seller. For example, if a buyer is interested in more information related to one of our car classified ads, they can direct their questions to the seller for a quick and informed response.

    How do I know what I'm buying is the real deal?

    We pride ourselves on having clear policies regarding scams and fraud; however, we cannot prevent all instances of product misrepresentation; buyers and sellers are strongly encouraged to use sound judgment when buying and selling items.

    We recommend that interested buyers contact the seller and arrange a visitation in person to inspect the item of interest prior to issuing payment. Above all, use common sense. If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is!

    FAQs for Sellers Using Online Classified Ads

    How do I place an online classified ad?

    The first step of posting an item for sale is to create an account with Want Ad Digest. It takes only a few minutes and will allow you to sign in from your account anywhere 24-hours a day. Once you have an account, you choose what type of ad you would like to place and for how long.

    We have several different ad packages available and are confident that we can place classifieds online for you that fit your budget. Our highest priced package is the Monster 8 Photo Package at $48 and our best value package is the Monster Ad Package at $25. This is a great option for sellers listing car and auto classified ads; it allows for plenty of photos to help buyers better gauge their interest. We even offer Commission Ads that allow you to advertise for free and pay after the item has sold. We take a 10% commission of list price and cap total commission fees at $80.

    What should I put in my classified ad?

    Our experience has shown that when buyers look at online classified ads, they prefer to see photos of the item for sale especially with auto classifieds. It creates a level of trust and confidence that the product for sale matches the description and is genuinely what the buyer wishes to purchase. Including a clear color photo that's in focus greatly increases your chances of selling the items. Since there are maximum word counts on ads; being clear and concise with the item description allows you to give the reader the most information in the shortest space. Sellers should also include contact information, so that potential buyers can get in touch regarding items posted for sale.
