How do I post an Ad?
Posting an Ad is completely free. And there is no charge if you sell your item on MyPlane. The site is totally free, no strings attached! Posting is easy. Simply follow the instructions below:

  • Click "Post Ad" at the top of all MyPlane pages.

How can I include images in my Ad?
When you are on the "Post Ad" or "Edit Ad" page, click the "Browse..." button which appears under the Images heading. Select a picture file from your computer's hard disk and click "OK". The picture will then be uploaded and attached to your Ad. You can add up to three more pictures using the same process. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words, so including one or more with your Ad will increase your chance of getting several replies.

Can I use HTML tags or URLs in my ads?
When you create your Ad's description, you select the font, text size, and other ways of adding emphasis. When adding a URL to your listing, it should be for purposes of providing additional information about the specific item or service offered in the Ad.

How can I increase the chance of getting a good response to my Ad?
To increase the chance of getting a good response, follow these simple tips:

  • Include one or more pictures in your Ad.
  • Make the title and description as detailed as possible. For example, when selling a product include its year, brand, model number, condition, and features.
  • If you are flexible on price, state that you will accept "best offer".
  • Tell your friends about MyPlane. The more people who use MyPlane, the more responses you'll get!

Why am I getting an error about banned words when I try to post a new Ad?
First make sure the contents of your Ad do not violate our posting policy. If your Ad does not violate our posting policy, then check the Ad and eliminate potentially offensive language. If you are still having trouble, contact us with the title and description of your Ad and we will help you identify and remove the banned words.

Why am I being told that I posted too many Ads today?
There is a limit on the number of Ads per person per day. This restriction is in place to prevent users from "spamming" the site. If you would like to post more Ads per day, please contact us.
