How to Post Your First Ad on OEADS — Step by Step

Your First Ad in Minutes

Posting an ad on OEADS is straightforward, but doing it right can make the difference between selling in a day and listing for weeks.

Step 1: Choose the Right Category

When you click Post Ad, the first thing you see is a category selection screen. Take your time here. Posting a Samsung phone in the "Accessories" category instead of "Mobile Phones" means fewer buyers will find your ad. The right category puts your ad in front of people who are specifically looking for what you are selling.

Step 2: Fill in the Details

After selecting your category, you will see specific fields for that category. For example, if you are posting a phone, you will see fields for brand, model, RAM, storage, and condition. Fill these in accurately. These fields are what buyers use to filter search results, so a phone listed without a brand or model is essentially invisible to filtered searches.

Step 3: Upload Great Photos

Upload at least 3-5 photos. The first photo is your cover image — make it count. Natural light works best. Show the item from multiple angles. If selling electronics, show the screen on and working. If selling furniture, show it in a room setting.

OEADS automatically converts your photos to WebP format, which means they load faster for buyers without losing quality.

Step 4: Set Your Price

Research what similar items are selling for. Browse OEADS search and look at current listings. Price yours competitively. You can always lower the price later if needed, but starting too high makes your listing sit.

Step 5: Choose Your Location

Select your province and city accurately. Buyers often filter by location, and a mismatched city means your ad might not show up for local searches. Add your area or neighborhood for even better visibility.

Step 6: Review and Post

Preview your ad before publishing. Check the title, description, photos, and price. Once satisfied, hit Publish. Your ad goes live immediately and starts reaching buyers.
