Ban Reason: Invalid price

To ensure a great experience for both Buyers & Sellers on OLX, we only allow ads that have a realistic/reasonable price for the item being sold. Putting a good price for your item helps the buyer to discover your item and contact you to make a deal.

Ban Reason: Bad title

If an ad posted on OLX has incomplete or vague text in the title, we mark it as ‘Bad Title’ and remove it from our website. Having an incomplete or vague title makes it impossible for buyers to find your ad and makes it less likely for you to sell your product.

Ban Reason: Multiple products

In accordance with our policy, we do not allow an ad that contains more than 1 item or service to be sold. All ads that mention multiple items are removed as forbidden.

Ban Reason: Email/Links/Phone numbers

We do not allow URLs or unverified numbers in the title of your ad. However, you may add a URL in the description of your ad as long as it's a link to additional information or to a page with more pictures. We do not allow links that are designed solely to redirect traffic to another website or unverified numbers to increase buyers' trust.
