How Ads Work on iGo
Posting is free and takes under 2 minutes. Here's everything about creating, managing, and promoting your listings.
Posting Your Ad — Step by Step
Choose a Category
Select the most relevant category (Vehicles, Electronics, Property, Fashion, Luxury, Services, or Other). Each has tailored specification fields.
Upload Real Photos
Add clear, well-lit photos of your actual item. Stock photos or copied images are prohibited. More photos increase buyer confidence.
Write an Honest Description
Describe the item accurately — include condition (New/Used), any defects, brand, model, and reason for selling.
Set a Realistic Price
Enter the true asking price in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR). Placeholder prices like LKR 1 are not permitted.
Pick Your District
Select the district where the item is physically located. This helps local buyers find your listing.
Submit & Go Live
Your ad is reviewed by our automated safety system and goes live to buyers across Sri Lanka almost instantly.
