Classifieds portal with chat, featured ads and moderation
Post ads by category, chat with buyers and sellers, boost ads for more views, and let a review queue catch doubtful posts before they go live.
Post in four steps
Add photos, details, a place and a phone number, then post.
Chat before you call
Buyers can message the seller inside the app first.
Doubtful ads wait
A review queue shows the reason, so one click approves or removes.
Postbay is a place to post ads for the things you want to sell, rent or offer: bikes, phones, sofas, flats and local jobs. This page walks through it chapter by chapter.
Find what you need, close to home
The home screen opens on big category tiles, featured ads near you and the newest posts. Filters narrow the list by price, year, distance and type, so a buyer gets to the right ad in a few taps.
Every ad tells you what matters
Photos come first, then the price, key facts such as year and distance driven, and a clear description. The seller card shows how long they have been a member and whether their phone is verified.
Post an ad in four short steps
Add photos, then the details, then a place and a phone number, and last a preview. A switch at the end lets the seller feature the ad for a set number of days.
Posting stays quick for sellers. Checking stays strict for the team.
Doubtful ads wait in a queue
Every new ad passes a first check for signs of trouble, such as a very low price, copied photos or a request to pay first. Flagged ads wait with the reason shown, so the team approves or removes them in one click.
Featured spots for sellers who want more views
Sellers can boost an ad, tag it as featured or place it on the home page. The admin sets the plans and sees sales by week and the busiest categories.

From posting to a safe sale
Post an ad

Find and ask
A buyer opens a category, filters by price and distance, opens an ad and starts a chat with the seller.
Get more views
The seller chooses a featured plan for the ad and pays by UPI. The ad shows higher in the list with a Featured tag.

Questions people ask
What is a classifieds portal?
It is a website and app where people post ads for things they want to sell, rent or offer, such as bikes, phones, flats and jobs. Other people search the ads and contact the seller.
Which features should a classifieds portal launch with?
Start with ad posting, categories with city filters, in-app chat and a moderation queue. Featured listings, saved searches and seller badges can follow once ads start coming in.
Can you build a classifieds portal like this for my business?
Yes. We can build the website, the Android and iOS apps and the admin panel, with your own categories, cities, languages and paid plans.
How are scam ads kept out?
A first check looks for signs such as a very low price, copied photos or a request for money first. Doubtful ads wait in a queue where a person approves or removes them. Repeat offenders are blocked.
How does the portal earn money?
Sellers can pay to feature an ad, show it at the top of a category or place it on the home page. The admin sets the plans and sees the sales by week.
