Posting an ad

Do I have to be registered on Cyphoma to post an ad?

You don’t have to register to post an ad, except for real estate, boat and automotive professionals.

However, the simplest way to post an ad is to use Cyphoma via Facebook. This saves you from having to fill out the information form before posting your ad since the required information is automatically sent from Facebook to Cyphoma. This way, logging in is easier and safer for all users. Facebook also lets you access more features (photos and videos).

How long does it take between the approval of my ad and its publication on the website?

Your ad will be approved in less than 24 hours by a moderator.

We verify all ads in order to ensure the best quality of service possible.

What can I put in the text of my ad?
Describe your product as accurately as possible so that the reader has a maximum of details. To avoid duplication, don’t repeat information from the ad title in the ad text. To ensure your ad isn’t rejected, follow the posting rules.
Is it free to post an ad?
Posting an ad is free except in a few specific cases. These exceptions are indicated when you start the posting process.
Why do I have to give my telephone number if I don’t want it to appear in my ad?
You can hide your number so that it doesn’t appear in the ad. However, you must give a valid number because we may need to contact you to verify your ad.
I haven’t received my activation email, what should I do?
First of all, make sure the email isn’t in your inbox’s spam folder. If you still haven’t received anything after 4 hours, you may have made an error when you entered your email address. Start the procedure over again.
Where will my ad be posted?
You have to post your ad in the area where your item is up for sale because Cyphoma will also display your ad to people located nearby. Posting an ad in more than one location is prohibited.
Can I put more than one item in the same ad?
No, you have to post an ad for each item. It is clearer for the reader and easier for you when managing your ads in the future.
How long will my ad stay online?
Your ad will stay online for 60 days. After this deadline, it will be automatically deactivated. You will receive an email informing you of this. However, if you just click on the link in the email, you will be able to repost it if necessary.
How do I post an ad?

Just click on the “Post an Ad” tab on the homepage and follow the instructions.


Can I put html code in my ad?

No. If you do this, it will be automatically erased. If you want to add photos or a video, there is a field provided for this purpose.


Do I have to put my email address or telephone number in the text of my ad?
Preferably use the fields provided for this purpose. This way, they will be secure and protected against spam. This also will protect you from excessive calls or emails.
Why post photos? How?

An ad with a photo is read 8-10 times more than an ad without a photo.

To add photos to your ad, you can:

  • Upload photos stored on your computer
  • Transfer photos from your Facebook albums
  • Take photos instantly using your webcam
Why post videos? How?

A video lets you present the product the way you want to. It is by far the best presentation method.

To add a video, you must first post it on YouTube or in your Facebook video album.

Why choose to highlight my ad?

Highlighting your ad lets you stand out from the others and this way, you can be more visible to potential buyers. Several options are available to you.
