Who is Eligible to Post on Walmart.com Classifieds

Anyone over the age of 18 can use our free and easy service to post a listing. To place a listing, click the "Post a FREE Listing" button in the upper-right corner of the site. The Post a FREE Listing form takes you step by step through the process of placing a listing on Walmart.com Classifieds.

How to Post a Listing

To get started, click the "Post a FREE Listing" button in the upper-right corner of the site. Then follow the instructions.

In the first step, choose the category and location of your item. In the second step, describe the item and set a price for it. You can also add up to four images to your listing. In the last step, preview your listing and when you are satisfied, click Post to publish it on Walmart.com Classifieds (and hundreds of other sites across the Oodle Network).

Your listing will be active for 30 days unless you deactivate it. After 30 days, your listing will expire automatically.

Reposting a Listing

If your listing has expired but you have not yet sold your item, you can create a new listing by clicking the "Post a FREE Listing" button (or by clicking here). You cannot re-activate an expired listing (at least, not right now - we hope to add that feature in the future, though, so stay tuned).

Where Listings Will Appear

Listings posted on Walmart.com Classifieds will appear on Walmart.com Classifieds as well as GoogleBase and hundreds of sites in the Oodle Network.

How to Get Listings Posted on the Oodle Network Sites

We'll do all the work for you. Please remember that not all sites have listings in all categories (e.g. Local.com Classifieds does not have a jobs section), and some sites have special requirements about the listings they display (e.g. listings on Listpic must have a thumbnail image), so your listing might not show up on every site in the Oodle Network. But once you post a listing, we?ll make sure it appears everywhere it is eligible.

How to Remove Listings from the Other Sites

When you deactivate your listing on Walmart.com Classifieds (see details below), it will automatically deactivate from other sites as well. Please note that it may take a day or so for your listing to be removed from GoogleBase and some other network sites. Please note that our listings may appear on sites not affiliated with Walmart.com Classifieds, including search sites such as Google, email groups such as Yahoo! Groups and website archives such as Archive.org. If you remove or modify your listing on Walmart.com Classifieds, it may still appear as it was originally posted on these unaffiliated sites.

How to Include Pictures in Listings

If you're posting a new listing, you can include up to 4 pictures. If you're submitting the URL (web address) of a listing that's been posted elsewhere on the web, you can provide us one picture that will be used as a thumbnail image for your listing when it appears in our classifieds search results.

You can upload pictures of up to 6MB in GIF, JPG, BMP, or PNG format. We'll resize your picture for web viewing.

To add pictures, click one of the "Browse..." buttons that show up under the "Add Images" heading on the "Describe Your Listing" page. Find the picture file on your computer and click "OK". The picture will then be uploading and attached to your listing.

If your picture does not show up, you probably used a non-supported format (such as a PowerPoint file or a Word document). Please save your images as a GIF, PNG, JPG, or BMP.

Increasing the Chances of Getting a Response to a Listing

To increase the chance of getting a good response, follow these simple tips:

  • Include one or more pictures in your listing
  • Make the title and description as detailed as possible. For example, when selling a product be sure to include its brand, model, condition, and features.
  • If you are flexible on price, state in your listing that you will accept "best offer"
  • Make it easy for the buyer to pick up the item; let them know where the item is located and when you will be available
  • Tell your friends about Walmart.com Classifieds. The more people who use Walmart.com Classifieds, the more responses you'll get!

What "Pending" or "Waiting to be Indexed" Mean

Listings that are "Pending" or "Waiting to be Indexed" are in our system but have not yet been added to our search index, meaning you won't be able to find your listing by searching on the site. Listings take approximately 30 minutes to be added to our search index.

If you have waited more than half an hour, but still see that your listing is "Pending", please try to search for your listing. For location, use the zip/postal code you entered and the category you chose when posting. If you see your listing in a search, then your listing is actually no longer "Pending", even though your web browser may still show it as such. (You can clear your web browser cookies and cache to fix this problem.)

If you wait more than 3 hours and still cannot find your new listing, please send us a message including your Listing ID or other details (zip code/postal code, category, title). Contact us at classifieds@walmart.com.

How to Edit or Deactivate Listings

Refer to the email we sent you when you posted your listing. There is a link in that email that will take you to a page where you can edit or deactivate your listing.

Please note that you cannot edit the category or location of your listing. If you need to change the category or location, please deactivate your listing and create a new one.

Privacy: How Buyers Contact Sellers about Listings

When you post a listing or sign in to Walmart.com Classifieds, you enter your email address. We use that email address to create a "Contact Seller" form that potential buyers can use to contact you. Buyers will never see your email address ? the information they enter into the form is collected and emailed to you by us. That way, you do not have to put your email address or phone number on the web for anyone to see. For additional information on your privacy, please read the Walmart.com Classifieds Privacy Policy.

After Your Item is Sold

If your item has sold, please remove your listing from the site by deactivating it (see ?How to Edit or Deactivate a Listing? above). This will help keep Walmart.com Classifieds clear of listings that aren't available any more and saves you time by preventing people from contacting you to buy it after the item is sold.

How to Find Your Listing

Classified listings take approximately 30 minutes to appear on the Walmart.com Classifieds site from the time of publishing. To see your listing, go to the category and location where you posted it, look under the date you posted it, and refresh/reload your browser. You can check the status of your listing by following the link provided in the activation email. Please note that the date of your listing does not change when you edit it.

Thumbnail Image Not Showing on a Listing

If your thumbnail picture isn't showing up, you may have uploaded the picture in a non-supported format (such as PowerPoint (.ppt), Microsoft Word (.doc), or .tiff). Please try again with a supported image format (.bmp, .png, .gif, .jpg). Also, it may occasionally take up to 30 minutes to add your thumbnail image to the search results page, so please check back after a few minutes. If your image is in a supported format and you have waited at least 30 minutes for it to appear as a thumbnail, please contact us at classifieds@walmart.com and include your listing ID (if you know it).
