Promoting Your Listings
Users can easily click the "Post Ad" button, select the appropriate category, and explore flexible options to promote listings for peak exposure. Ads remain active for a predetermined lifecycle, with tailored durations for specific categories like vacation rentals.
To maximize visibility and accelerate sales, sellers can leverage our premium visibility enhancements:
- Top Ads: Position your listing prominently at the very top of category and search results.
- Bump Up: Refresh your listing's timestamp so it moves right back to the top of latest feeds.
- Highlight Ads: Stand out visually in search grids with a distinctive border and badge.
In addition to premium promotional features, Coastal Sun applies modest listing fees to select commercial categories once users exceed their standard free ad quotas. This tiered structure ensures a clutter-free, high-value trading ecosystem for both casual sellers and businesses.
Safety First: Essential Trading Guidelines
Never send money in advance: Do not wire money or make advance deposits to individuals before inspecting goods in person.
Meet in public places: Arrange face-to-face meetups in well-lit, high-traffic public locations preferably during daylight hours.
Inspect before paying: Verify that the condition of the product or service matches your exact expectations before handing over funds.
Verify legal paperwork: When purchasing vehicles, electronics, or property, always request and verify genuine proof of ownership and purchase documentation.
