Common questions

Quick answers

The essentials, without making you hunt through documentation.

01

How do I post an ad?

Sign in, choose Post ad, and add a category, title, description, and price. A general Winnipeg pickup area and up to five photos are optional. Review the details, then publish the listing.

02

How can I update an ad?

Open My account and find the listing under My ads. Use its edit action to update the details. Only the account that posted the ad can change it.

03

Does Winnipeg Classifieds process payments?

No. Buyers and sellers arrange payment directly. Avoid advance-payment requests, verify the item before paying, and use a payment method you understand.

04

Where should I meet a buyer or seller?

Choose a busy public place during daylight hours, tell someone where you’re going, and avoid sharing your exact home address unless it is necessary for a large-item pickup.

05

How do I report spam or suspicious messages?

Open the conversation from Messages and choose Report spam. Reporting from the conversation keeps the relevant account and listing attached to the report.

In-app reporting

Something doesn’t feel right?

Open the conversation and use Report spam. Don’t send money or personal information when a request feels unusual.
