Sponsored Listings and Ranking Disclosure

Version: 1.0 | Effective: 23 July 2026

1. Labels

Listings receiving paid visibility will be clearly labelled using terms such as “Paid”, “Premium”, “Featured” or “Sponsored”. The label indicates purchased advertising treatment only.

2. Main ranking factors

Search and display order may consider:

• the user’s search, category, locality and radius;

• relevance of title/description and listing completeness;

• recency, availability and expiry;

• purchased promotional status and remaining promotional period;

• quality, duplication, spam, fraud, trust and safety signals;

• device/display constraints and service experiments; and

• legal or moderation restrictions.

My Classifieds does not publish exact weights, source code or the proprietary internal priority formula.

3. No endorsement

Promotion does not mean that My Classifieds has verified or recommends the advertiser/listing. It does not guarantee top position, uninterrupted placement, enquiries, sale, hire or transaction.

4. Moderation prevails

Payment never overrides the Listing Rules. A promoted listing can be held, moved, labelled, restricted or removed. Refund consequences are governed by the Refund Policy.

5. Fair design

The interface must not:

• disguise a paid listing as an organic result;

• use a Company verification badge for paid placement;

• fabricate demand, scarcity, countdowns or views;

• preselect an add-on or hide the total price; or

• make it harder to choose Free or decline an optional feature.

6. Changes

Ranking evolves to improve relevance, safety and performance. A material change to the effect of paid promotion will be reflected prospectively in this disclosure and checkout.
