See how they are describing their items, particularly so if they are selling the same item as the one you are listing. Use a clear title which includes the name of the item you sell. Try to make your title appealing and eye-catching. Set an appropriate price for your item so that the advert is approved. If the price is not relevant, it may be declined. Make sure to carry out some investigation of the prices for a particular item. The description of your product must be informative enough and mustn�t contain any false information regarding your product or service. Upload only unique and high-quality photos of your items taken by yourself and not downloaded from the Internet. The better photos you add, the more attractive your ad looks to the potential buyers and the more calls you receive. Indicate correct contact details for the potential buyers/clients to be able to reach you easily. Try to respond all the incoming calls or to call back your customers once available.

Underline that no prepayments are required and be ready to list those delivery services which presuppose payment on the delivery of the product ordered.

Why my AD has been pending for a very long time.? There are currently three advertising slots at the moment on RingRoad. Therefore, only three advertisers can place their ads on any section of RingRoad at the same time. Once the six slots are full, any attempt to place ads on the same section by other advertisers will result in a pending placement. However, once a slot is vacated by an advertiser, the slot will be handed over to the advertiser ascendingly and based on next priority"
Waiting time for an AD slot to be vacated? We cannot say when an ad slot will be vacated because it depends entirely on what current advertisers choose to do.

While you're waiting for your AD placement to become active Please resist the temptation to remove and then resubmit pending AD. If you do that, you will be placed at the very end of the queue.
