Protect Against Fraud & Scams
- Better meet the seller personally. It is recommended you meet in a community space such as a coffee shop, Cafe, Restaurant or Shopping Complex.
- Remember to inspect the item fully before making the purchase. Be sure to visit the property or see the vehicle before any such finance transaction.
- Make sure to review all the necessary documents such as vehicle ownership documents, any property rental agreement is with the correct person/authority.
- If items/services have a price that is too good or value for money, then be extra careful.
- Do not contract with sellers who want your personal information without any compulsory reason.
- Never send an advance payment, pre-payments or deposit. Deal shall be only with people face to face.
- There are lots of good deals and offers on easyadz. Follow these simple rules to protect yourself against scams and fraud.
Instructions for Advertising in the EasyAdz Classifieds
Classifieds facility on EasyAdz.lk (EA) is free and was established for the use of EA members as a means of selling, trading or swapping their items and services.
The success of the EA site has led to an enormous number of advertisements being placed, many by commercial establishments. These administrations have been and are still borne providing they don't overflow the site with their Advertisements to the detriment of genuine EA members. We will be introduced Premium Classifieds for businesses wishing to advertise their products. Click here for details.
Here are the general rules that need to be followed:
All Advertisements selling a service, advertising property or selling goods that are posted on EA must be accompanied by a valid Sri Lankan telephone number and prices shown in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR). Those without valid numbers or advertised in other currencies will be deleted.
- EA does not expect to see repeat Advertisements posted on the site - please use the "Refresh this Advert" button. Repeated transgression of this rule will result in the user account and any subsequent repetitions being blocked.
- Advertisements seeking to provide or seeking the provision of, "questionable" services, (such as "massage") will be deleted and the poster given a first and only warning. Any similar and subsequent post will result in the user account being blocked.
- We expect each user to have only one account when posting Advertisements. If we discover that a duplicate has been created, both accounts will be blocked.
- Advertisements for items that are not permitted in Sri Lanka will be removed and advertisers will be requested to refrain from advertising such items on EA. Further postings for such items will result on the poster's name being removed from the member's list. Subsequent repetitions will also be blocked.
- When posting photographs of vehicles, the photograph should be one of the actual vehicles being offered for sale. Photographs copied from brochures and photographs obviously not taken in Sri Lanka may be removed. Such photograph should preferably display at least part of the number plate to prove that the vehicle is in Sri Lanka.
- We are aware that there are many doubtful marketing outlines around. Some of these take the form of offering high returns with little effort. If we suspect that advertisements are promoting such schemes, the advert will be removed, and the poster blocked.
- EasyAdz.lk is NOT a recruitment site although we do permit the advertising of vacancies to those already within Sri Lanka. We suggest that those seeking employment from outside Sri Lanka use the proper (recruitment sites) channel for such tasks. Posters from within Sri Lanka will be able to promote their availability within Sri Lanka.
- EasyAdz.lk is not a matrimonial or a dating site.
- Ads for the sale of visas or assistance in obtaining visas are not acceptable. Posters of such Advertisements will receive one warning only. If they repeat the post their accounts will be blocked together with any repetitions. It is hoped that you will follow these guidelines which we feel will provide a better experience for the genuine members of EA.
Guidelines for Property Classifieds:
- All property classifieds should have at least 3 actual photographs of the specific property.
- No other images or graphics are allowed.
- Advertisements that are already published cannot be edited to a different portion or property.
- The photographs should be of high quality and clearly reflect the Sri Lankan property.
- Each available property should have its own unique images.
- Each property/portion should be posted as a separate advertisement.
- Posting more than one property/portion details in an advertisement is considered spam and is NOT ALLOWED.
- Do not use repeated upper case letters, or include phone numbers in property images or in heading.
- No contact details should be included in the description.
Each Property should be posted under the right category, EA owners, moderators and administration reserve the right to make changes to the Ad category without prior warning or subsequent justification.
