Yesterday I paid to add a second listing on same account , received payment confirmation and that ad was live, until it disappeared.
Thanks for reaching out to us. I’m very sorry to hear that your ad was removed! I’m pretty sure this isn’t what you thought would happen, so let’s get it back up on the site so you can sell your items.
I’ve taken a look, and it seems your ad was deleted from Kijiji by accident. I’ve since reactivated it and I’ve taken the liberty to bump your ad back up to the top of the first page. It’s now live on our website!
Ok thanks
I see it now

Hi @ItsCoors
I verified and can confirm that the ad was user-deleted.
As a one-time courtesy, I have reactivated the ad back for you
If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us
Oh geez thanks for fixing it not sure how i managed that
I posted 2 ads in cars and trucks, one I had to pay for. I then paid for bump ups so I am into ads for $80. I can not find my ads anywhere and have not got one response on either in a week
I am sorry to hear you are experiencing some issue searching for your active ads Erich. I can assure you the ads are certainly searchable within the Cars and Trucks category in Calgary AB. I arranged a general search for each of your ads and provided the link below for your reference:
How come when I search pickup trucks under 10000$ it doesn’t show up?
The reason the ads are not appearing when you are arranging a “monetary search” is due to the ad were posted as a “Please Contact” in the price box.
So if you want the ads to be appear under a $10,000 price search, then I recommend editing the ad to an actual price value that is under $10,000 in the price box.
@Rob my ads not showing up anywhere although I got a confirmation email:
Title: CyberPower 1500VA / 900W Battery Backup – Like New
- City: Hamilton, ON
- Category: (e.g., Electronics)
Please help thanks.

Unfortunately the reason the ad is being deleted upon posting is due to posting your ads multiple times across multiple user accounts can really frustrate the rest of the people who are browsing through ads. So, all we ask is that you please post your ad once, in the most appropriate category, and from one email account. If you’re unsure of which category to use, try searching the site to find out where others have put similar ads. You’re also welcome to post your ad in a couple of different cities within your region, but please keep in mind that we reserve the right to remove ads if they’re hindering the user experience.
While you might think that your ad won’t have sufficient exposure, I’m happy to tell you otherwise. A lot of Kijiji users use the keyword search function rather than going straight to the category itself. Right away, it filters out all of the other ads that it would be sharing space with. Of course, they can still search by category as well if they so choose. Furthermore, if a user is inclined to travel to your area to find an item, they will include your city or even the whole province in their search. This gives your ad all kinds of exposure!
