When creating an advert on suchen.expert, certain details are fixed after publication and cannot be changed. Understanding which details are fixed — and which can still be edited — will help you prepare your advert carefully before submitting it.
Which details cannot be changed after publication?
The following elements of an advert are fixed once it has been published and cannot be modified: the advert type (e.g. Lost, Found, Marketplace, Services), the category, the situation (e.g. Selling, Looking to buy, Giving away), and the location. These details are used for indexing and search purposes, and changing them after publication would affect how the advert is classified and found by other users.
Why are these details fixed?
Fixing certain details after publication ensures the consistency and reliability of the platform's search and classification system. It prevents adverts from being changed in ways that could mislead users or manipulate search results.
What can still be edited after publication?
You can still edit the title, description, price, photos, and contact information after your advert has been published. These changes take effect immediately and do not require a new review.
What should I do if I made a mistake in a fixed field?
If you realise that you have selected the wrong advert type, category, situation, or location, you will need to delete the existing advert and create a new one with the correct details. Before doing so, save the content of your advert (title, description, and photos) so you can easily recreate it.
Tip: Take your time when creating an advert
To avoid having to recreate an advert due to errors in fixed fields, review all details carefully before clicking "Publish". A few extra moments of checking can save you the effort of starting over.
