about > help > how to find your post in the listings

If you have published an ad but you can't locate it on the site, there are a few things to consider:
  • Your ad will appear on the site 15 minutes after you publish it.

  • You may need to refresh/reload the page that displays listings for the category where your ad was posted.

  • Make sure you are looking in the correct category (for example: skilled trade services vs. skilled trade jobs, general for sale vs. general community).

  • Make sure you are looking under the correct date. Your post will appear under the date when you published the ad.

  • If you are unable to locate your ad using a keyword search, make sure that the keyword actually appears in the text of the ad.

  • Other possibilities: your post may have expired, or it may have been removed from the listings by flagging.
