Pricing
Posting is free up to a point. Then it is not.
The button says "Post Free Ad" and that is true within a monthly allowance. Past it you need posting credits or a paid plan — and you should hear that here rather than when you are half way through writing an ad.

Posting an ad
Free, then paida monthly allowance, then credits
A monthly free allowance per account; beyond it, posting credits or a paid plan.
- A monthly free posting allowance, set by Koovira administration
- Past it, each post consumes a posting credit
- Credit packs are bought with your Koovira wallet, plus GST
- Or a paid classifieds plan raises the monthly limit instead
The allowance and the pack prices are administrative database settings, so no number is quoted here — you are shown yours when you hit the limit.
Post a listingEscrow
Fee may applyshown at checkout, not fixed in code
The escrow and platform fee percentages default to zero in code and are set by administration.
- The buyer pays the item price plus any escrow fee and tax
- The seller receives the price less any platform fee
- Both percentages default to zero in code and are administrative settings
- A seller-side commission also applies, based on the seller's plan
- Paid from the Koovira wallet — there is no card path for classifieds escrow
Deliberately no percentage is printed here. A 2.5% figure exists elsewhere on Koovira but belongs to a different escrow engine and does not apply to classifieds.

Questions
What buyers and sellers ask.
Is posting an ad really free?
Free up to a monthly allowance per account, then it costs. Past the allowance each post consumes a posting credit, and credit packs are bought with your Koovira wallet. Alternatively a paid classifieds plan raises the monthly limit. The button saying "Post Free Ad" is true within the allowance, and this page would rather tell you the rest now.
How many free ads do I get?
It is an administrative setting rather than a fixed number in the code, which is why this page does not print one — a figure here would eventually be wrong. You are shown your limit when you reach it.
Do I need an account to browse?
No. Search and listing pages are public. Contacting a seller, negotiating, bidding, paying and posting all need a free account.
Is the escrow real?
Yes, fully. Your payment is debited from your wallet into a platform escrow account and the order is marked held. It moves to the seller only when you confirm you received the item, and a dispute is resolved by a Koovira administrator.
Can I insist on escrow?
No, and this is worth knowing. Escrow can only be started by the seller, and only on a product listing — not on a service or a rental. If a seller will not use it on a high-value item, that is information.
What does escrow cost?
There may be an escrow fee and tax on top for the buyer, and a platform fee out of the seller's proceeds. Both percentages default to zero in the code and are set by Koovira administration, so the figure shown at checkout is the one that counts. Any 2.5% figure you have seen elsewhere on Koovira belongs to a different escrow engine and does not apply here.
What if the item never arrives?
Open a dispute — "item not received" and "item not as described" are both preset reasons — while the money is still held. An administrator resolves it, including refunds.
How do I pay?
From your Koovira wallet. There is no card or UPI path for classifieds escrow.
Can I book a viewing?
Yes. Appointments have a start and end time and notes, and are tracked as scheduled, rescheduled or cancelled so both sides can see the state.
Do listings expire on their own?
Not automatically. There is a status on each listing and administrators can deactivate one, but there is no auto-expiry job — so treat an old listing with the same suspicion you would anywhere else.
Are sellers verified?
No, and the page will not claim they are. There is no seller-verification flag in this module. What is real is the negotiation record, the escrow hold, the dispute path, ratings and reporting — protections that work whether or not you can vouch for the person.
Can I report a scam listing?
Yes. A report files both a module-level report and a platform-wide moderation report, so it does not sit in one queue.
