Help Center
How Glenlist works — posting, browsing, editing, payments, and what happens when a listing expires. If your question is about the safety of a listing or a person, start with the Safety Center instead.
How to post a listing
Posting runs as a short wizard. Start at Post an ad — you will need an account, and you will need to have verified your email.
- Pick a category and subcategory. This determines which fields you are asked for and what the listing costs, so choose the closest match rather than the broadest one.
- Fill in the details. The form changes per subcategory — a job asks for pay and employment type, a rental asks for rooms and square footage, a vehicle asks for year and mileage.
- Add photos and contact details. Use your own photos of the actual item. Listings with stolen or stock images get reported and removed.
- Preview. Check how the listing reads before it goes live.
- Choose a plan. Some categories are free; others are a one-time fee or a subscription. Optional Featured placement and badges are offered at the same step.
- Publish. Free listings publish immediately. Paid listings and add-ons activate once payment is confirmed, which is usually seconds but can take a moment to settle.
Write a specific title, give a real price, say where in Los Angeles County the item is, and describe the actual condition. Vague listings get fewer replies and more time-wasting messages.
Browsing and searching
- Browse everything from All listings, or start from a category below.
- Filters differ by category — price range, location, rooms, mileage, salary, and so on. Applied filters live in the page URL, so you can bookmark a search or send it to someone.
- Save listings you are interested in with the favorite control on any listing card; they collect in your profile under Favorites.
- Contact details are shown on the listing itself. Glenlist does not relay messages between users.
Browse by category
Editing and managing listings
- Your listings are under My listings in your profile.
- Edit a live listing from its detail page or from that list. Corrections to the price, description, and photos are expected — that is better than reposting.
- Sold or filled? Take the listing down rather than leaving it up. It saves everyone the messages.
- Avoid posting the same item repeatedly to move it up the page. Duplicates get reported and removed.
- Add Featured placement or a badge to a listing that is already live from the same profile screen — you do not need to repost it.
Payments and refunds
- What a listing costs is set by its category. The exact plans and add-ons available to your listing are shown at the checkout step before you pay.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Glenlist does not store your card details, and we will never ask for payment by gift card, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency.
- If you buy more than one item — for example a plan plus Featured placement — you may be taken through more than one payment step. Finish all of them or part of the order stays unpaid.
- Paid features activate automatically once payment confirms. If something you paid for has not activated, reload the listing first, then email [email protected] with the listing ID and the date of the charge.
- For a refund request, contact us with the listing ID and the charge date and describe what went wrong. Refunds are handled case by case.
- Glenlist does not process payments between buyers and sellers. Money you send another user goes directly to them — see payment safety.
Listing expiration
Listings do not stay up indefinitely. Each listing carries its own expiration date, shown on the listing itself and in your list of created listings — check there for the date that applies to a specific listing rather than assuming a fixed window.
- An expired listing stops appearing in browse and search results.
- If the item is still available, post it again with current photos, an accurate price, and an updated description.
- Subscription-based listings stay active while the subscription is active; cancelling stops the renewal.

- A suspicious or fraudulent listing: follow the checklist under Report a listing and email us the listing URL, what is wrong, and screenshots.
- A problem with your own account, listing, or charge: see Contact us for what to include.
