How it works
Posted, checked, paid, live
Adzmonster is a place to put an ad in front of people. We do not sell anything, hold anyone’s money, or stand between you and a buyer — you publish how to reach you, and they reach you. Here is every step, including the one where you pay.
Write your ad
Photos, price, and the facts buyers actually filter by — the composer walks you through your vertical chapter by chapter. As you type a price, Price Pulse compares it with similar ads already on the board in your city and tells you plainly where it sits: below them, among them, or above.
Takes minutes · up to 8 photos · saved as you go
It gets read twice
Before your ad goes anywhere, an AI reviewer screens it against the prohibited list and known scam patterns, and then a person reads it: real item, honest photos, accurate facts. The AI advises, the advisor decides — this double read is why the boards are worth scrolling.
AI screen + human review · every ad, every edit
You pay, and it goes up
Once the advisor has cleared it you pay the listing fee, and the ad is on the board the moment the payment clears. You are charged only after approval — never before, and never if it is rejected.
Priced up front · one payment · no subscription
Buyers contact you directly
Your ad carries whichever contact details you chose to publish — phone, WhatsApp, email. Buyers use them. There is no inbox here, no chat to check and nobody in the middle: the conversation is yours, off our platform, from the first message.
You choose what appears · change it any time in settings
It runs, then it comes down
Every ad has a fixed run. We warn you a week before it ends and again the day before, and when the time is up the ad simply leaves the boards — no silent expiry, no ad quietly rotting at the bottom of a page.
Reminders at 7 days and 1 day
Renew for another run
One tap puts it back for another run at the same price, and it does not go through review again because nothing about it changed. Renew before it lapses and the time is added, not restarted.
No second review · early renewal adds time
Price Pulse
See where a price sits on this board
A priced ad is compared with similar ads already listed here — same kind, same subcategory, your city first. Sellers see it while pricing; buyers see it on the ad. No models, no magic: quartile maths over what is currently on Adzmonster.
It is a comparison, not a valuation. We have no market-data feed and we are not telling you what anything is worth — only how this ad compares with its neighbours on the board.
Below similar ads
The emerald nod — this ad sits under the middle band of comparable listings here.
In line with similar ads
Inside the middle band of comparable listings on this board.
Above similar ads
Over the middle band. Often for a good reason — the pulse just says by how much, so both sides can see it.
What it costs
Buying costs nothing. Publishing is paid.
A buyer is never charged for anything — browsing, filtering and contacting a seller are free. Money enters on the seller's side only: the listing fee that puts an ad on the board, and credits for optional extras — more visibility while it runs, or an AI draft while you write.

Plain answers
Questions people ask
- When do I pay for an ad?
- Only after an advisor has approved it. You write the ad, it is reviewed, and then you pay the listing fee shown up front; the ad is on the board the moment the payment clears. A rejected ad is never charged.
- What does the advisor review actually check?
- A person reads every ad before it goes on the board: that the item is real, the photos are honest and the facts are accurate. An AI screen runs first against the prohibited list and known scam patterns; the advisor makes the decision.
- How do buyers contact me?
- On whichever details you switched on in settings: phone, WhatsApp or email, any of them or none. Nothing is published by default, and switching a channel off takes it back off your ads the next time each is saved.
- What is Price Pulse?
- As you type a price, Price Pulse compares it with similar ads already on this board in your city and says plainly where it sits: below them, among them or above. It compares only ads on Adzmonster; it is not a valuation and it does not read any external price feed.
- Can I renew an ad?
- Yes. One tap puts it back for another run at the same price, without a second review because nothing about it changed. Renewing before it lapses adds the new run to the time remaining rather than restarting it.
