Introduction

 

Online classified ads are really no different than normal paper ones except that they are more widely viewed and are not bound to a specific district or area.

If you have trouble, just look in your own local paper, magazine or sites like eBay classifieds, Kijiji, or Craigslist for help in determining exactly what information to release in the current advertisement.
