Hi Kijiji Community, I want to change my AD to a different category with remaining promotion time, not sure who can help me with this? My AD ID: 1742231599 I want to change from Roofing (current category) to Lawn, Tree Maintenance & Eavestrough. Thank you! ---

> [@Daniel8](#): > > 1742231599 Unfortunately Daniel, we are unable to change the ad’s category due to the Premium Visibility that was purchased is directly tied to the category the ad was posted under. So I am sorry to say, what we can do, we can delete the ad and provide you with a prorated refund of $134.37, so you can repost the ad under the desired category. Please let me know if you would like for me to go ahead? ---

Hi Rob, Thanks so much for your quick response, I agree with your proposed approach. Should I delete the AD by myself then notify you for the prorated refund? ---

Yes absolutely Daniel, once you have deleted the ad, please contact back me right away, so I can proceed with the prorated refund. ---
