    Why am I having problems viewing or posting ads?

    It may be a web browser problem. Although we have tried to accommodate as many types of web browsers as possible, we realize that some browsers (particularly AOL) have problems with online forms. If you aren't using Netscape 4.0 (or newer) or Internet Explorer 4.0 (or newer), the easiest solution may be to switch to these browsers. These browsers are available for free download from Netscape or Microsoft**.

    If you are trying to use account features, cookies must be turned on. Cookies are automatically turned on in Internet Explorer 3.0 or later. To force cookies to be allowed in Internet Explorer, go to Tools --> Internet Options --> Privacy Tab --> Advanced button and check "Override Automatic Cookie Handling." At the bottom, put another check mark in the "Always accept session cookies." Click "OK." In Netscape Communicator, Open the "Edit" menu and select "Preferences." In the "Preferences" window, click on the "Advanced" category and Select "Accept All Cookies." Click "OK."

    Cookies are only used for account features, and user privacy is never compromised. See our Privacy Policy


    What kind of restrictions are there on posting ads?

    Any ads placed on Kingdom Classifieds must abide by the guidelines provided in the Kingdom Classifieds Terms of Service (KCTS). A few of the important points are noted here.

    Ads may NOT pertain to:

    • anything illegal by U.S. law, encompassing local, state, and federal law.
    • any pornographic materials, services, or web sites.


    Furthermore, each ad must be relevant to the category in which it is placed. Duplicate ads, either identical or to the same effect, may not be placed on Kingdom Classifieds (i.e. changing a few words in the ad does not constitute a different ad). For full information regarding ad content, refer to the KCTS.


    What if there isn't a category that relates to my ad?

    If you have an ad that doesn't seem to fit into any of our categories, e-mail us and let us know. We can't guarantee that your specific category will be added to our site, but we will do our best to help you place your ad in the most relevant category. And for the mean time, place your ad in the category that best fits your ad, using the "Others" category if needed.


    Can I post a picture of an item in my ad?

    One picture may be posted with your full-page ad at Kingdom Classifieds. The picture can be uploaded directly to our server. This is done by clicking on the "picture" link next to the ad for which the picture should be included.


    I lost my username/password. What can I do to obtain this information?

    Using our "Lost Password?" feature, you will be able to find your account information via e-mail (using the e-mail address that you provided during account setup). Your username and password will be e-mailed to you instantaneously.


    I placed an ad at Kingdom Classifieds. Why wasn't it posted immediately?

    Our ad posting system is automatic. Your ad listing (headline and short description) will be posted to your category/region(s) within 3 hours. Your full-page ad will be posted immediately, as soon as you click on the "Create Ad" button from the Ad Form. The only possible reason for your ad not being posted would be that there was an internet connection error, or our server was down at the time you tried to place an ad. This problem is very rare, but if this was the case, contact us at

    Why did my listing and ad disappear from Kingdom Classifieds?

    There are a few possible reasons for the removal of an advertisement at Kingdom Classifieds. If your ad has expired, you will receive email confirmation to that effect. Also, an ad may be removed if it violates our porting guidelines. Refer to our Terms of Service for more info. If brief, it states that ads pertaining to illegal (U.S. Law) and/or pornographic material are not allowed at Kingdom Classifieds. If your ad falls into either of these classifications, they will be removed. Duplicate ads will automatically be deleted by our program. We also reserve the right to remove any ad for any reason.


    My advertisement is double-posted. What do I do?

    If you discover that your ad is double-posted (i.e. listed twice and/or having two full-page ads) at Kingdom Classifieds, simply log into your account and delete one of them.


    Accounts and Its Features:

    Do I have to have an account to place an ad at Kingdom Classifieds?

    YES. The main reason for requiring the account is for your security and convenience. Instead of providing various information every time, you can simply enter your username and password each time you place a new ad. Furthermore, having the account system allows easier access to your ads, and you can edit, submit, or delete ads with less hassle. It also helps us, in the case that you have paid ad plans, to properly credit your account for payments.


    How do I view my account information?

    To view your account information, enter your username and password in the "Account Login" section of the main page, or click "Account" located at the top of most other pages and do the same. Once within your account page, there will be a list of all the ads that you have on Kingdom Classifieds. You will have the option to edit, promote, or delete your ad(s).


    Why does my browser complain that the "Page has Expired"?

    When using the Account feature at Kingdom Classifieds, you should navigate with links and buttons within the webpage rather than your browser's "Back" button. If you do use the "Back" button, you can retrieve the previous page by using your browser's "Refresh" or "Reload" button.


    I made a mistake on my posting. How do I correct it?

    Correcting or updating your ad at Kingdom Classifieds is as simple as 1, 2, 3.... and, unlike  other classified services, editing of ads is FREE. First, enter your account by clicking on the "Account" link that you see at any of our web pages. Once in your account, click on the "Edit" link of the ad you wish to modify. Edit ad as necessary.


    How do I change the password for my account?

    Changing your password is easy. Simply go to your account page and click on the "Edit Info" link.


    Do I have to "logout" or "log-off" from my account after logging in?

    You do NOT have to "logout" or "log-off" from your account. You can go to any other webpage at anytime after you've logged on to your account. If you are using a computer that numerous users have access to (i.e. at school, work, cyber cafés, etc.), we STRONGLY SUGGEST that you set your browser's "cache" to zero so that none of your personal information will be stored on the computer that you are using.


    How do I delete my ad?

    Simply go to your account page (http://interking.com/main/post.html), click on the "Delete Ad" link, next to the ad you want to cancel.

    No refund or credit is provided for a paid ad that is deleted before it's expiration.  


    Power Submission:

    How do I submit my ad to other search engines/directories/classifieds sites?

    You can submit any of your ads to the search engines, directories, and classifieds sites that are available at the time you decide to promote your ad. You can either submit your ad right after you place the ad, or anytime thereafter, in either case by going into your account. Once in your account, click on the "Promote" link that corresponds to the ad you wish to promote. If this is your first time promoting your ads, you will be asked to confirm your email address. This procedure only has to be done once. Select the search engines/directories/classifieds sites you wish to be listed in, and click the "Promote Ad!" button.

    PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR AD USING THE PROMOTION TOOL ONLY ONCE. Your ad will be catalogued by the external site/search engine indefinitely. There is no need to repeat this "Power Submission" process for the same ad. Remember that it may take a few weeks for your ad to be included in some of the search engines. This does not mean that your ad hasn't been submitted to that site. Your submission will be valid as long as you have the ad with Kingdom Classifieds.

    Once you are in the "Power Submission" page, there will be a "Promote Ad!" button. Click on this button once and ONLY ONCE to have your full-page ad submitted to various external sites. This process may take as long as 5 minutes. Please be patient and wait for a response or go for a coffee break!


    How long does it take for my ad to appear on the search engines/directories

    Some of the Web sites post your ad within a few days, without anyone checking it at all. Note, however, that your ad may not appear instantly on all the web sites. Some popular sites such as Yahoo and the other major search engines review each submission individually and can take weeks to put up your Ad. Some of these web sites may not accept your ad for listing in their directory at all.

    Due to the fact that we allow ad submissions to places operated by organizations we have no control over, we can take no responsibility for the operability of any of the sites that your ad is posted to. Furthermore, Kingdom Classifieds cannot guarantee that your ad will appear in the exact form that you submitted for our site, since various search engines/directories/classifieds have differing limits on the amount of text, graphics, etc...


    How will I know that my ad has been submitted to the other web sites?

    After you click on the "Promote Ad!" button from the Power Submissions page, you will receive a list of sites to which your ad was successfully submitted. Some of the web sites have a policy of confirming that your ad was placed on their site. Consequently, you may receive additional e-mail from them.


    Pricing and Billing:

    How much does it cost to place an ad?

    There are no costs associated with the Free Membership. Please refer to our "Gold Membership" and "Power Ad" pages for pricing and options on these ad packages.


    What payment options does Kingdom Classifieds offer?

    There are several payment options at Kingdom Classifieds:
