How It Works

Platform Overview

MissBackpage is a user-generated classifieds publishing platform. Users post and browse classified advertisements organized by city and category.

The platform provides technical infrastructure for users to create, manage, and view listings. All listings are created and submitted by users, not by the platform.

Creating an Account

An account is required to post listings on MissBackpage. Users create accounts by providing an email address and setting a password.

Once an account is created, users can manage their listings from their account dashboard. Account creation enables posting, editing, and activation of listings.

Posting a Listing

To post a listing, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the city and category where your listing should appear
  2. Enter a title and description for your listing
  3. Upload optional photos or media files
  4. Submit the listing

Users must choose the correct category and location for their listing. Listings must follow the platform's Posting Guidelines.

Listing Status & Activation

After submission, listings may appear with limited visibility depending on account status and activation settings. Activation controls listing duration and may affect visibility within category and city feeds.

Activation controls visibility and duration of listings. Different activation options affect how long a listing appears and where it is displayed within category and city feeds.

Users select activation options when submitting or managing their listings through their account.

Visibility & Duration

Listings appear in category and city feeds based on their activation status and submission time. Visibility depends on activation status and the time elapsed since posting.

Listings naturally move down in feed order as new listings are posted. The position of a listing in feeds changes as other users submit new listings.

Listings expire after their active duration ends. Once expired, listings are no longer visible in active feeds until reactivated.

For information about paid visibility options and advertising, see Advertise.

Managing Listings

Users can edit, renew, or repost listings from their account dashboard. Users control their own content and can modify listings at any time.

Expired listings can be reactivated through the account dashboard. Users can update listing details, change photos, or adjust activation settings as needed.

Contacting & Responses

Interested users contact listing posters directly through the platform's contact system. MissBackpage does not participate in communication between users.

Responses and interactions occur directly between users. The platform provides contact infrastructure only and does not facilitate or monitor communications.

What the Platform Does Not Do

The platform does not:

  • Verify listings or users
  • Arrange meetings or interactions
  • Handle transactions between users
  • Guarantee responses, visibility, or outcomes

For posting rules and guidelines, see Posting Guidelines. For additional questions, see the FAQ.
