Questions about promotions
What is Bump Up?
Bump Up moves your live ad up in the default newest-first order, as if it had just been posted. Your publication and expiry dates don't change. You can bump the same ad once every 24 hours, up to 8 times in 30 days. Other sellers post and bump too, so your ad won't stay at the top.
What is a Top Ad?
A Top Ad can take one of up to 4 sponsored positions at the top of matching search results when buyers use the default order. When more Top Ads match than there are positions, they take turns. Each one is labelled “Top Ad”. Buyers who sort by price or age see the normal order.
What are Featured Ads?
Featured Ads appear in labelled Featured sections on the home page and on matching search and category pages, depending on the package. When there are more featured ads than places, they take turns.
What does the Urgent Sale badge mean?
It shows that the seller wants to sell soon. It's a paid label: it doesn't mean the price is low, and it doesn't say anything about the vehicle's condition, history or documents.
When does a promotion begin?
When PayHere confirms your payment to us, not when you're sent back to our site. If your ad is still being reviewed, the promotion starts when the ad goes live.
Can I schedule a promotion?
Yes, for packages that allow it. Choose a start at least 30 minutes ahead and within 30 days, in Sri Lanka time. A booked promotion isn't shown before its start time.
How long will a promotion last?
Each package shows its length in days, counted from the start. If you buy the same type again for the same ad, the new time is added after the current one ends.
Does boosting guarantee a sale?
No. Promotions change where your ad appears. They don't guarantee views, enquiries, a particular position at every moment, or a sale.
What happens when my vehicle sells or my listing expires?
When you mark the ad as sold, running promotions end and bookings that haven't started are cancelled and reviewed for a refund. If the ad goes offline for another reason, such as a review after an edit, expiry or removal, the unused time is kept and continues when the ad is live again.
Can I cancel or request a refund?
A promotion that has started has been delivered, so it isn't normally refundable. If you cancel a scheduled promotion before it starts, if your ad is sold before a promotion starts, or if a promotion couldn't run because of a fault on our side, our team reviews a refund to your original payment method. This doesn't affect your rights under Sri Lankan law. You can cancel a booked promotion from your promotion page until 60 minutes before it starts.
What payment methods are supported?
You pay on PayHere's secure page, which accepts the cards and other methods PayHere offers. Rathagaya never sees your card details.
Where can I see my active promotions?
In My account under Promote, and on each ad in My listings. You'll also get a notification when a promotion starts and ends.
