What is a featured listing?
If you choose to upgrade your listing to a featured listing, your advertisement will appear on the homepage*, on the "featured listings" page and will have a highlighted background in searches, making it stand out. In addition, all featured adverts appear first in searches* before the other adverts. This means that featured listings are likely to get the more views from people browsing the website.

Adverts are posted straight onto the website as soon as payment has been received.

I cannot see my advert
Once payment for your advert has been received it will be posted online. Newly approved adverts are displayed on the "New listings" page in addition to the category in which you placed them. It is worth noting that featured advertisements (the ones with a highlighted background) always appear first in searches and therefore, if you have not chosen this as an optional extra your advertisement will be displayed after the featured listings.
*All featured advertisments appear first in all searches in inverse chronological order. Featured listings on the homepage are displayed on a rota basis. A maximum of 16 adverts are displayed on the homepage and different adverts will appear each time the page is refreshed or viewed.
