Responding to ‘Classifieds’

A 'Classified' on Bob Shop is just like an advertisement you would see in a local newspaper or magazine. At Bob Shop, you can read the 'Classified', get an indicative price and respond to the sale online. A response to a 'Classified' is not considered a legal obligation, it simply expresses a Buyer's interest and the transaction is completed via subsequent direct communication between the Buyer and the Seller.

All 'Classified' listings have the Classified icon associated with the Item Listing. There are only a limited number of categories in which you can find a 'Classified' listing such as cars, properties and some services.

On the 'Item page', you will find a description of the item as well as an image, the location of the item and the condition of the item – whether new or secondhand. You can respond to a Classified by clicking on the 'Contact the Seller', which will lead you to a 'Response confirmation' page. Here, you can add a message to the Seller and confirm your shipping details.

Once you've received the Seller's contact details, you can communicate directly with the Seller and complete the sale if you so choose.
