Selo.Pk is used worldwide. If you post your ad in a particular city the ad will be visible to everyone browsing the city level. Your ads will get more visibility if you correctly specify your city during the ad posting process.

Yes. You need an account to post ads. But you can browse ads, or respond to ads without creating an account.

To locate your ad, click on the location that you chose while posting your ad. You can also find your ad by using the search bar and searching for your ad title. (It may take up to 24 hours for your ad to appear in search results.)

Your Ad information can be found on the “My Listings” section. Here you will see all your posted ads along with the number of ad views.

We do not allow ads that constitute or contain “affiliate marketing,” “link referral code,” “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or unsolicited commercial advertisement; or that include links to commercial services or web sites; or that constitute or contain any form of advertising or solicitation. We apologize for any inconvenience.

If you have not received your confirmation email yet, we recommend checking your junk/spam mail folder. If you do not receive the email or have deleted it, we recommend that you click “Forgot Password” on login page and enter your email address. Once you have created a password for your account, you can log in any time to post, edit or delete your ads.

If your images are very large, they may take extra time to upload, especially if your internet connection is a bit slower than others. We recommend that you try making your images smaller by using photo editing software on your computer. You can also try adjusting the settings on your camera so that pictures are saved at a more reasonable size, like 1024×768.

Searching Ads

The way our search works, is you can set your location and then search for a specific type of job, car, item, etc. Our system will then supply results that match your specifications exactly, and then it will show similar or nearby results. When we do not have a lot of ads that match your criteria, you will start to see ads that may be farther away than what you are looking for.

When an ad is received, it will always go through a manual review process. This will cause a delay of up to 24-36 hours before you can find your ad in our listings. After the review process, your ad will be posted to our live listings.
