Help Using Cruisin' For Deals Classifieds

Cruisin' For Deals Classifieds have been set up as a tool to allow Manitobans such as yourself an easy-to-use medium to safely buy and sell your used items. These ads are shown locally on cruisinfordeals.ca, as well, they are distributed to a network of ManitobaX Classified Sites throughout the province. It's easy, post your ad and we do all the rest! Below is a brief explanation of how to use the various site features.

Posting an Ad

To post a free ad, click on the "post an ad" link above. You will be taken to a page where you will then have to select the category that most closely matches the item you are selling. Once you have selected a category, you will be asked to provide basic information for your ad such as a title, description and price. You may optionally ad photos as a way to draw extra attention (highly recommended). Please be sure to indicate your community as well so that others close to you can find your item.

Once you have submitted your ad, you will be sent a confirmation link by e-mail in a matter of minutes. Once you receive this e-mail, click on the link provided to confirm your ad. After a quick review by a ManitobaX staff member, your ad will be made viewable province-wide for 31 days. Should your item not sell after 31 days, you are invited to re-submit until it is sold.

How Much Does it Cost?

Selling using this service is 100% free. The only exception being business-related ads in the "services" category and homes for sale, which require a modest payment by Paypal/Credit card. This is to ensure that these classifieds stay as a tool for the average Manitoban, all the while giving serious businesses the opportunity to promote to our ever-growing user base.

Browsing Ads

Browsing the many items for sale on this site is simple. Just pick a category and scroll through the available items. You can either view ads by using the main category or you can click on any of the sub-categories to view those specific ads.

Safe Practices

Things to keep in mind when buying and selling on the Classifieds:

Cruisin' for Deals and the ManitobaX classifieds network is growing daily. Many items have exchanged hands thanks to the great local buyers and sellers that make this a regular stop during their weeks. With that said, please keep the following in mind when using this site or any other online classifieds:

1) We strongly advise you to meet the person you are buying from or selling to in person prior to exchanging funds. There are numerous scams on the internet where less than honourable people try to take advantage of both sides of the equation.

2) We also strongly advising only buying from Manitobans on this site. As the classifieds are considered local, it should be seen as an instant red flag if someone from out of province has slipped through the cracks and is attempting to sell an item or trying to make a purchase. We try our best to screen all ads to ensure localness but unfortunately cannot make any guarantees.

3) Regarding product or service quality, as is the case when buying any used items we highly recommend thoroughly verifying the quality of your purchase prior to exchanging money. Cruisin' for Deals or it's affiliates assume no responsibility for any products or services exchanged.
