Ads
We recommend you read The User Agreement before placing an ad.
Attention: We also recommend you create your personal account on our webpage in order to gain access to a wider range of possibilities and options when managing your ads.
The video of adding an ad on «Agro-Ukraine» is used as an example for the future reference (adding an ad on «Agro-Ukraine» is done in the same way)
The simplest solution is to allow showing banners and script execution in module/program settings on «Opor.ng» .
- Our website supports two types of photo upload methods:
-
HTML5 (is used by default)
For fulfilling and comfortable user experience when uploading pictures you need to have a browser which supports HTML5 (any modern browser supports this technology)... If your browser supports HTML5 you will see a green photo select button.
This download method allows you to process files directly from the camera, without any major limitations in size. -
HTML, sending together with the form
For hopelessly outdated browsers or maximum security computers with special settings, Adblock or Antibanner might be installed on them and, in case of unforeseen errors, the easiest method of downloading a photo would be sending it along with the form.
In this case you will see 5 standard fields for selecting files.
This download method enables you to process files smaller than 1Mb, up to 1024x1024 pixels (we recommend reducing all photos beforehand).
It is important to understand that, in this case the files will be sent alongside with the form, as a result of which the timeout for sending is significantly increased and could exceed 15 seconds. If after 30 seconds the site gives you an unknown error, most likely the size of one or more pictures significantly exceeds 1MB.

- The photo selection button can’t be clicked.

You’ve got two options for updating your ads:
- updating each ad individually: this function is available if at least 3 days have passed since the last update;
- Batch update of all your ads: Those ads which haven’t been updated in the last 7 days will be updated;
Those ads which are currently under restrictions cannot be updated. You should first edit your ads in order to lift those restrictions.
Unregistered users can manually update ads. In order to do this, you have to open your ad for editing and save it (you do not need to make any changes to it). You can update your ads this way every once in three days.
A note: "to update your ad" means to raise your ad to top positions and get it to show on the front page in a specific category.
- headers
- texts (including first similar sounding paragraphs)
- pictures.
Restrictions apply to specific ads and not to a user account as a whole;
Ads to which restrictions have been applied:
- cannot be raised to the top positions/category pages;
- can’t be searched by a keyword;
- are often ineffective;
In order to lift restrictions you should edit your (restricted) ad and make it sound unique according to the mentioned above parameters: the header, the text and your pictures. Restrictions will be lifted right after you make those changes.
/Restrictions would be applied and lifted automatically! Restrictions cannot be manually “removed” by the moderator.

We have tried to make working with ads enjoyable and convenient.
If you haven’t specified any email address at the time of adding your ad, contact the administrator via the contact form.
In other words, adding the same or very similar ads in different categories or in different regions would make no sense, as all ad duplicates will be removed in no time at all.
We would like to mentionthe negative impact of posting ad duplicates at regular intervals.
Summary of the negative impact of posting ad duplicates.
As you may know, a huge amount of target visitors comes from search engines which index (read) webpages and subsequently, search them (it’s worth mentioning that the indexing process might take a few days). According to the monitoring system mentioned above, after adding an ad duplicate, your old ad gets deleted (which means that, an old page address would be invalid) As you may know, a huge number of target visitors comes from search engines that index (read) pages of the site and subsequently search them (it is worth mentioning, that the indexing process might take a few days). As a result, it turns out that search engines redirect visitors to non-existent ads, which were removed by the monitoring system and thus, potential customers leave.
We want to stress it out to you that, in order for your ad to stay on top of the list you could renew it (but not more than once in every three days).
The ad update feature is available for all registered users.
Unregistered users can simply open their ad for editing and save it again (you don’t even have to edit it).
The reason behind this is the need to check and index all new ads with this bulletin board’s search engine.
Currently, indexing and updating of the search database happens once per hour.
Please note: Archived ads are automatically excluded from keyword search results, unless you specify otherwise in settings.
You can check your ad indexing status by entering your ad’s ID instead of a keyword.
We only count real visitors (not robots and bots). This is AN BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR BULLETIN BOARD ANY OTHER AD BOARD, where the number of digits on the counter is several times bigger than the total number of visitors on the site.
Only the number of times your ad was displayed in search results is counted:
- in categories;
- by key words;
- there are many ad displays but, a few views;
- there are many views but a few phone number inquirers;
What’s better - huge numbers on the counter and extremely low conversion or real ad returns and adequate conversion? It’s up to you to decide!
Thus, after placing an ad on the board, it could be copied to a number of other bulletin boards in 3 clicks (~20 sec).
You could also archive an ad in just 3 clicks (~10 sec) on multiple bulletin boards.
Instead of deleting your ad, you can temporarily hide it. A hidden ad is unavailable to the website’s users.
You can also restore your ad any time you like. At the same time, your ad’s URL will stay the same as before.
This great feature will save you time and effort!
There is an Automatic Ad Reminder System on «Opor.ng» for those ads, which haven’t been updated for more than N days, where N=7-30.
You’re welcome to use our warning system, which warns you automatically if your ad’s term of publishing is about to expire.
System settings are available at: My personal profile -> Ads -> Settings (an image of a gear)
If a user does not respond to 5 messages in a row, e. g. if those messages ended up in your SPAM folder, our reminder system turns off automatically.
If our reminder system was disabled for whatever reason, you can always enable it manually in your Personal Account (see the instructions above).
Attention! This is a general warning about fraudsters, it is displayed under each ad and it does not refer to a particular seller and/or a company!
- Check the availability of goods
- Compare the name of the person and the name of the card owner
- No rush! A backaway cargo that needs to be quickly loaded often takes years to be delivered.
Simple but effective verification of the availability of goods
- Ask the vendor to give you a video call on Viber, Telegram, Skype or any other popular app and show you the product.
This can be done even if you do not have a camera, but it requires a camera on the seller’s side.
- Ask the seller to take a photo of the goods with a piece of paper on them on which a code word which YOU and YOU ONLY will give the seller (e. g. today’s date + any word) will be written.
This simple security check makes it extremely difficult for fraudsters to use other people’s photos from the Internet, which in some way guarantees the availability of goods...
It’s pretty easy to take a photo of a product If it’s available and, an honest seller wouldn’t refuse to do that!
What if the seller does not have Viber, Telegram, Skype or any other messenger, nor he can not make and send photos of goods for any reason whatsoever (broken camera, can’t take pictures and send photos)? Does the seller have the right to demand a prepayment? Definitely not!
What if you and the seller have agreed that you would come and pick your purchase up in person but the seller is demanding a down payment in case you’re buying some perishable goods?
If the buyer decides to change his mind and calls off the deal, making a down payment wouldn’t be the solution, since the goods would go bad and the losses will clearly be higher than the amount of your prepayment (thus, making a prepayment would be pointless)
If we are talking about a large batch of goods, asking for a prepayment seems strange and illogical, because sale/purchase - is a mutually beneficial deal (again, asking for a down payment would be pointless)
Please note that in case you decided to go and collect your goods in person, you should also be really cautious, since there have been cases when potential buyers would drive for hours, trusting the promises of a favorable price just to get robbed.
Если What if you are sure of the goods’ availability and have decided to make a deposit? Ask the seller to send you an email (do not simply wire it down) in which they would clearly and carefully indicate:
- a name and a full description of a product you’re asked to make a prepayment for;
- their full name
- their credit card number;
- a prepayment amount;
- a total price of goods;/li>
- the way of goods’ delivery; if it’s pick up, ask the seller to give you a clear address, date and time of your meeting,
- as well as any other info you might need.
Do not pay upfront if the seller’s name and the name on the credit card number do not match, as in 95% of the time deals like that don’t end well.
Making a prepayment onto someone else’s bank account (their wife’s, husband’s, mother’s-in-law or their other relative’s credit cards) shouldn't be an option, since you haven’t even seen those goods/products yet.
Seller’s disregard for formalities may suggest that they will treat further transactions in the same manner.
You should understand that, in 99% of cases, making a prepayment is just topping up someone’s account without a legit reason for it.
In fact, you are simply crediting another person’s account however, it would be up to them to decide whether or not they wanted to meet their obligations.
Make sure you keep all your checks/receipts from the transfer until you get your goods and get a chance to examine them.
A sale/a purchase is a mutually beneficial deal - you would like to buy the goods, but the seller also wants to sell them.
In 90% of all cases, you can do without prepayments, for example, the seller could dispatch the goods and then you would pay in cash on delivery.
What if a seller is offering you a really appealing price (which is actually below the market average price) for legit goods/products with self-delivery and payment upon receipt options.
You’d think there’s no catch, but if you really look into it...
A buyer is given a typical reason for being able to offer goods/products at a relatively low price, such as company debts, seller’s personal debts, personal discounts of a company employee, etc. etc.
The purpose of all this is to convince a buyer to make a payment for the goods/products to the third party, instead of paying directly to the company which had dispatched the goods. At the same time, a buyer is strongly advised not to discuss the price with anyone during loading, so that you do not have to pay the market price for it.
After dispatching the goods, a seller will demand payment from a buyer and at that moment, the details of this fraud scheme begin to clarify.
