I can't access Internet everyday to check emails. How do I get
responses for my ad?
When you post an ad, you will see 3 options for "Email Display".
First one is "Display my email address". Second one is "Hide my
email address". Third is "I do not want to receive emails".
Choose the third option if you don't access Internet everyday. But make sure
that you list your contact phone number or address in the description. Other
users will contact you by phone or they will visit you in person. You need to
access Internet just one time to post and confirm the ad.
Is Digital Bhoomi a directory service?
Digital Bhoomi is not a directory service. We encourage all users to exchange
information about their organization, events, classifieds and jobs. But, we do not
store the information indefinitely.
How do you keep this site free?
We plan to add value-added services in the future. We will generate revenue from
those services. This site is maintained by a team of people. We share time and money to run
this site. Moreover, we really want to help the community to exchange
information. This is not some marketing slogan.
How do I upload the video of my real estate property?
Please upload your videos to YouTube and provide the link to your video when you post real estate ads. You need to
enter the video code of YouTube video in the real estate ad posting form of
Digital Bhoomi. We will show your video along with your real estate ad.
How do I buy the items listed in Digital Bhoomi?
First send email to the advertiser with your queries. Do NOT send money to anyone
without seeing the products in person. Idea behind Digital Bhoomi is to remove
fraudulent activity associated with auction sites. You don't buy the product
unless you see it, inspect it and be comfortable with it. That's why we have
community pages for each city. If the seller is not in your city, don't bother
with his/her product. Sometimes there are offers which are too good to be true
and the sellers are living far away from you. We strongly recommend not to have
any transaction with distant sellers.
We also recommend against selling items to distant buyers. Check out this
link to read
about the experience of a seller in Ebay.
What do I do if the seller is not in my city?
If you need a product really bad and the seller is not in your city, it is strongly
recommended to inspect the product using your contacts in seller's city before
sending money. It's worth repeating -- Do not ever send money to anyone without
seeing the product.
I posted an ad, but I don't see that in your site!
If you don't confirm your posting, we won't publish it. So, first check whether you
have confirmed your posting. If the posting is missing even after your confirmation,
it might have been deleted because of inappropriate content. If we receive
complaint from the users about a posting, we will review it within hours.
If the posting is not following our terms of use, we will remove it from the site.
If you feel that your posting is appropriate but got removed, please contact us.
What is Book Swap?
Book Swap is the facility for
exchanging used books. It lets you give away the books you no longer need in
exchange for the books you really want. Every time you give someone a book,
he/she gives you a book that you want. Once you've read the book, you can keep
it forever or put it back into Book Swap for someone else, as you wish. You can
put your used books into good use instead of just throwing it away or giving to
street vendors for few rupees. You can also save money by swapping books with
other people in your community instead of buying new books.
Example:
Sharma has “The Seventh
Secret” by Irving Wallace. He bought it 10 years ago and he read it 3 times.
He wants to swap this book for a book by Tom Clancy. He puts a posting under
Book Swap category asking for swapping of “The Seventh Secret” with any book
by Tom Clancy. Sneha has “The Sum of All Fears” by Tom Clancy; she hasn’t
read “The Seventh Secret”. She decides to swap the book with Sharma. She
contacts Sharma and swaps the book. Both of them live in the same city, so
it’s easier for them to meet and exchange the books.
We don’t recommend mailing the
books to other cities. It’s always better to swap the books in person. You can
use this facility to swap CDs, VCDs and DVDs also.
How can I post anonymously?
It's simple. When you fill the form, check "Hide my email address" option
in the checkbox under "Email Display Option". No one will be able to see your email address. If someone wants
to contact you, he/she needs to use web form to send email to you.
Why can't I send attachment to private email (anonymous posting)?
If you are interested in the posting send a simple mail to the person posted the ad
asking for his/her details. Get their phone number/address, meet them, buy/sell products.
We don't want to send attachment to our users mainly because of virus and worms.
How long does my post stay in the site?
It depends on the category in which you posted. For Events, your posting will
stay until the end date of Event. For all other postings, we will keep it active
for 90 days. If you no longer need your posting, you can delete it using the
email we send you when you post your ad.
How often can I post?
You can repost your posting every month. But don't post the same posting multiple times.
I have not received the email to publish my free posting, what should I do?
First check your Bulk mail folder or Junk mail folder. Your email program might have
put our email there. If it's not there, please click here and
enter your email address in the form displayed. We will send an email with the links to the listings you posted.
What kind of postings do you not accept?
We will not accept Pyramid scheme and Multi-level marketing listings. Soliciting illegal
activity either implicitly or explicitly is prohibited.
