Duplicate Ads

Multiple ads posted for the same item/service are considered duplicates on Books Trade City.com. Duplicates clutter the listings and make searching harder for other users. When posting ads, please keep the following in mind:

• Do not post the same ad in multiple categories. If you’re unsure of which category to use, try searching Books Trade City to find out where others have put similar ads.
• Post your ad within your own area for maximum exposure. Remember, people that are willing to travel will search wider areas or use the distance search feature to find your ad.

Posting duplicate ads on Books Trade City may cause your ad to be removed. If you want more exposure for your ads, try one of our PAID PACKAGES instead.

Note: We reserve the right to remove ads that hinder the user experience.

When you’re posting on Books Trade City.com, it’s very important that your ad respects the law. You need to write your ads so that they don’t discriminate based on age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
