Question 1

How does listing approval work?

Accepted Answer

When you post an ad, it goes into a Pending state. Our approver team reviews it to make sure it meets our guidelines. Once approved, it becomes Active and visible to everyone. You'll get a notification (and an email) when it's approved or rejected.

Question 2

How long do listings last?

Accepted Answer

Approved listings stay active for 7 days. After that they automatically expire. You can re-post or promote an expired listing anytime from your account.

Question 3

How do I get verified?

Accepted Answer

Verified badges are awarded by the Campus Trade team to trusted sellers with a good track record. Keep your profile complete, sell genuine items, and earn positive reviews to be considered.

Question 4

Is Campus Trade free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can post 1 free standard ad every day — the limit resets each day at midnight. Featured ads (which get more visibility) use Featured credits. Browsing and chatting are always free.

Question 5

How do I report a scam?

Accepted Answer

On any listing, tap the Report button, choose a reason such as 'Scam attempt', and add details. Our team reviews every report. Always inspect items in person before paying — Campus Trade never holds funds.

Question 6

Can I delete my messages and notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open a conversation or your Notifications tab and use the delete button to remove items, or tap 'Clear all' to wipe your notifications. For privacy and storage, messages and notifications are also automatically removed after 1 month.
