What is EX & GO and how does it work?
EX & GO is a classifieds marketplace. People and small businesses post what they are selling, buyers find it and get in touch directly. We are not a shop and not a middleman: we do not hold your money, do not ship anything and take no cut of the deal you agree on. The site runs in nine languages, started in Ukraine and is opening up across Europe. Posting is free. The only paid things are optional — promotion for a single listing, and advertising for businesses.
פרטיםIs posting really free, or is there a catch?
Really free. You can post, edit, chat with buyers and close the deal without paying us anything, and we take no percentage of the price. What we sell is visibility: promotion that lifts one listing in the catalogue, and advertising for businesses. Both are bought per listing when you want them, never as a subscription, and nothing expires or disappears if you never buy either. If anyone asks you to pay a fee to publish or to unlock a buyer, that is a scam and not us — report it and moderators will act.
פרטיםDo I need an account to use the site?
To browse and search, no — look around freely. You need an account to post a listing, message a seller and keep favourites, because those things have to belong to someone. Registration is an email and a password on the sign-up page, and where social sign-in is switched on you can use that instead. One account covers both buying and selling; there is no separate seller registration and no fee for having one.
פרטיםHow do I post a listing?
Open the posting page and work top to bottom: pick the category, write a clear title, add the description and price, fill in the category fields that appear (size, condition, mileage — whatever applies) and choose your city. Add up to eight photos of the actual item; listings with real photos get answered far more often than ones with a picture from the internet. Press publish and you are done. Everything stays editable from your account afterwards, so there is no need to agonise over the wording.
פרטיםMy listing says it is pending review. How long does that take?
A new seller's first listings are read by a moderator before they appear in the catalogue. That is the step that keeps obvious scams out, and it is why buyers here are less jumpy than on a completely open board. Moderators work the queue in the order it arrives, you will see the status change in your account, and you do not need to do anything while you wait. If something clashes with the posting rules you get a reason rather than silence, and you can fix the listing and resubmit or appeal the decision.
פרטיםHow do I edit, archive or delete a listing?
Everything is in your account, under your listings. Edit changes the title, text, price or photos on the live listing. Archive takes it out of the catalogue without deleting it, which is what you want when an item is reserved and might come back. Delete removes it for good. If you have sold the item, archiving or deleting it is the courteous move: buyers stop writing to you about something that is gone, and your remaining listings look current.
פרטיםWhat is not allowed to be sold here?
The posting rules carry the full list. In short: weapons, ammunition, explosives and military gear outside retail circulation; drugs, psychotropics and prescription medicines; tobacco, e-cigarettes and alcohol; stolen goods and equipment with erased serial numbers; counterfeits; documents, licence plates, bank cards, SIM cards and personal-data sets; protected and poached wildlife; financial pyramids and quick-money schemes; adult content without age limits; human organs, dangerous chemicals and radioactive material. If you are unsure about a specific item, ask and I will tell you what the rules say about it.
פרטיםWhat languages and countries do you work in?
The interface exists in nine languages: Ukrainian, Russian, English, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Czech, Slovenian and Bulgarian, switched in the site header. The marketplace started in Ukraine and is opening up across Europe, so a listing you post is readable by buyers who do not share your language. You write your listing in whichever language you are comfortable with; the interface around it adapts to whoever is looking.
How long does a listing stay up?
Thirty days from publication. After that it lapses to expired: it leaves the catalogue but keeps its address and title, so a link somebody saved still opens. Renewing is one button in your account and gives another thirty days, with the views and the chat history intact. Renewing costs nothing and there is no limit on how many times you do it. If the item sold, archive or delete it instead, so buyers stop writing to you about something that is gone.
פרטיםI edited my listing and it disappeared. Why?
An edit to a live listing sends it back for review, so it leaves the catalogue until a moderator has looked at it again. That is deliberate: otherwise a listing could be approved as one thing and quietly turned into another. It returns on its own, and your views, favourites and chats are untouched. If you need several corrections, make them in one save rather than five, because each save restarts that step.
פרטיםWhy does my listing wait for review while other people publish instantly?
New sellers are reviewed, established ones are not. Once you have three approved listings, everything you post afterwards goes straight into the catalogue, provided the automatic screening sees nothing alarming in it. Until then a moderator reads each one. So the wait is neither personal nor permanent: three clean listings is the whole distance. It is also why the first few are worth writing carefully, because they decide how fast everything after them appears.
פרטיםCan I prepare a listing now and publish it later?
Yes, save it as a draft. A draft is yours alone: it is not in the catalogue, not in search, and nobody can write to you about it, and it waits as long as you need. This is the sane way to prepare a batch of items in the evening and put them up when you are ready. A draft can also be started before your phone is confirmed, because confirmation is only needed at the moment of publishing.
פרטיםMy listing is gone. What happened to it?
Four different things look identical from outside, and your account says which one it is. Expired: thirty days passed, the page still opens, press renew. Archived: you took it out yourself, publish it again whenever you want. Rejected: it conflicted with the posting rules, the reason is next to it, and you can fix it or appeal. And if the account itself is blocked, every listing leaves the catalogue at once until that is resolved.
פרטיםHow many photos can I add, and what size?
Up to eight per listing, each up to five megabytes, and anything longer than two thousand pixels on its long edge is scaled down for you. Ordinary phone photos fit comfortably. Photos you uploaded but never attached to a published listing are discarded after half an hour, so finish a listing in one sitting rather than leaving the tab open overnight. Eight honest photos of the actual item beat one picture borrowed from a catalogue.
פרטיםI missed a notification. Is it recorded anywhere?
Yes. Your account keeps a notifications section with every saved-search match and every moderation decision for ninety days, whether or not the push or the email reached you. That channel cannot be switched off, on purpose: a decision about your own listing should not depend on a browser permission you once declined. Push and email sit on top of it as conveniences, and you choose those separately.
פרטיםHow do I stop getting emails from you?
It depends which kind. Product news carries an unsubscribe link in every message and stops immediately. Service messages about your own listings, chats and payments keep coming, because they are the reason you would open the site at all. Saved-search alerts are switched per search in your account, and push notifications in your browser settings. If something still arrives after you switched it off, tell me, because that is a bug rather than a policy.
