How to Get Your Ad Approved Effortlessly on dubizzle Cars

As the leading classifieds platform in the UAE, dubizzle Cars employs a stringent moderation system to maintain high standards of quality and user experience. To ensure this, all ads must adhere to our comprehensive posting guidelines. From description to images, each ad should be clear, relevant, and original. Ads that fail to meet the criteria will not be approved.

To avoid delays, rejections, or visibility issues, ensure your ad follows the essential guidelines set by dubizzle. By doing so, you will enjoy a quick and hassle-free approval process.

Image Guidelines: What’s Allowed and What’s Not

Here is a list of image guidelines, highlighting what is allowed and what is not.

• Upload clear, real images of the car, both exterior and interior shots. There should be no collage images.

• Irrelevant images that don't match the car details in the ad listing will be rejected by the moderation team.

• Never upload photoshopped or framed images.

• Use only high-quality images that are not blurry.

• Avoid uploading images with banners, tags, or text overlays, as the platform already provides the necessary tags and labels. Text on images appears cluttered and hinders the overall user experience.

• Ads without any images reduce user engagement and deter potential buyers, impacting the overall experience.

• Ads without an exterior image will be rejected, as they can't be verified against the selected make, model and trim.

• Images containing contact details, such as phone numbers, emails, or websites, will be rejected because they disrupt the portal’s lead tracking system.

• Selling salvage or damaged vehicles is prohibited. Such ads will be rejected.

Ad Posting Guidelines to Follow

Here are the key ad posting guidelines for a smooth approval process.

• Listing only one car is allowed per ad. Displaying multiple cars in images, titles, or descriptions can be misleading, and such ads will be rejected.

• Replacing the original car image or altering ad details to describe a different car in the same ad will result in rejection.

• Promoting competitors or other platforms in an ad is prohibited and will result in your ad being rejected.

• Providing the correct model year builds buyer trust, boosts your ad’s visibility and helps ensure your listing gets approved quickly.

• Ads posted in the wrong category are considered miscategorised and will be rejected, since it negatively affects the overall user experience.

• Exterior colour mismatch will return irrelevant results to users looking for a certain colour through search filters on the platform.

• Mentioning incorrect fuel type misleads buyers and fails to provide proper exposure to the listing, affecting its reach in search results and through filters on the website.

• Once your car is sold, remove the ad instead of mentioning it in the title, description or images to avoid confusing buyers.

• Ads for reserved cars are not allowed, as they can mislead buyers and impact the user experience.

• Users cannot mention financing in the ads as they do not have a trade licence to offer financial services.

• dubizzle Cars doesn’t allow users to post ads that mention car swapping.

• Only cars currently in the seller’s possession can be listed to maintain a smooth and trusted transaction process.

• Ads for older model cars displaying unrealistically low mileage are not permitted. Misleading or inaccurate details can impact buyer trust, harm the user experience and limit the ad’s visibility.

• Avoid a mismatch in mileage figures, as it misguides buyers and reduces the visibility and effectiveness of the listing.

• Using photos uploaded by another user in your listing is prohibited. Detected listings will be removed without a refund.

• Ensure the kilometre field contains the actual value in kilometres only. Mileage or other formats can be mentioned separately in the description if needed.

• Ads with incorrect steering side information can mislead buyers and will be rejected during moderation for providing inaccurate details, which limits listing visibility.

• A mismatched price on the listing can confuse buyers, resulting in an undesirable user experience.

• Ads listed in the UAE market mentioning cars for export will be rejected under the Export Violation policy. A separate category exists for export listings to give them better exposure.

• Listings with regional spec mismatches create confusion and impact buyer confidence.

Ads with any mismatch in the required information will be rejected. Matching details help prevent others from misusing ads.

Follow the image and ad posting guidelines to get your listings approved faster and reach more buyers. This helps keep the platform smooth and easy for everyone.
