What Is a Bump Up on Kijiji?
A Bump Up refreshes your ad by updating its posting date, helping it appear higher in search results and category listings. This can increase visibility and help attract more views from potential buyers.
How Does a Bump Up Work?
When you purchase a Bump Up:
-
Your ad’s posting date is reset to the current date and time
-
Your ad moves higher in listings where newer ads appear first
-
Buyers sorting by Newest First may see your ad closer to the top of search results
-
Ads that match a buyer’s search criteria may also receive improved visibility when Best Match sorting is used
A Bump Up is designed to help your ad gain additional exposure after activity or replies have slowed down.
Important Notes
-
A Bump Up resets the posting date of your ad but does not extend the ad’s expiration date.
-
Bump Ups are available in most categories.
-
Bump Ups are not available in Events and Garage Sales categories because those listings are sorted by event date rather than posting date.
What Is a Recurring Bump Up?
Recurring Bump Ups automatically refresh your ad every 3 days, helping it remain more visible over time without requiring manual action.
You can purchase multiple Bump Ups in advance and Kijiji will apply them automatically until all purchased Bump Ups have been used.

Manual Bump Ups do not affect any remaining recurring Bump Ups you have purchased.
Key Point
A Bump Up is one of the easiest ways to refresh an existing ad and improve its visibility. By moving your ad closer to the top of relevant search results, a Bump Up can help generate more views and potential buyer interest.
