Pricing

We've worked to give you a program that offers great value, made up of low, affordable pricing and a ton of great features. Below you'll find pricing information for ads and ad upgrades. If you are already a member your pricing may be different due to special promotions that you may have received when you registered. We recommend reviewing your actual pricing plan from within your My Mad section, just look for the My Info & Pricing link.

Payment & Refund Policy

We provide a secure connection and accept major credit cards for all ad and subscription fees. If you need an alternative method of payment, please contact us through Member Services. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the service, we are unable to offer refunds. However, we will do everything we can to assure your satisfaction. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you experience any problems.

Ad Run Lengths

All listings run for 30 days, except the Freeway ads which run 7 days. Shorter timeframes can be selected for auctions, however there is no reduction in listing fees. Shorter listings may be desirable for auction listings, especially when there are external time constraints, e.g. tickets to the theatre next week. Auction listings are good for one listing and cannot be edited once a bid has been placed, but classifieds can be changed at anytime, even to a different item. In the instance of placing a classified listing for the theatre tickets, it would still be worthwhile to list for the full 30 day period since the ad could be changed and used for something else after the ad for the theatre tickets is no longer relevant.

Standard Pricing Plan

Single Ad Listing Plan (Fee-Based)

This is the base plan that is appropriate for most individuals. It involves a per ad based pricing where you simply pay for each individual ad you place. If you will be needing to place larger quantities of ads at a time, you should submit a request to have your account switched over to one of our Subscription Listing Plans if you signed up originally under the Single Ad Listing Plan.

Category	Classified Listing Fee	Auction Listing Fee	Ad Renewal Fee	Free Photos
Play	$10	$5	$5	1
Auto	$20	$10	$10	1
Home	$30	$20	$20	1
Work	$40	$30	$30	1
Give	Free	Free	NA	1

Subscription Listing Plans

Subscription plans work across all categories and are based on a set number of listings. Our subscription plans are ideal for real estate agents, auto dealerships, employment agencies, antique stores, art galleries, retail stores, or anyone else who needs to consistently place larger quantities of ads. While you can change subscription plans, you can only be in one subscription plan at a time. You will need to submit a request if you need to switch subscription plans.

Subscriptions run for 30 days, during which time ads may be placed, up to the maximum number of ads for that subscription level. At the end of your subscription, you will be able to renew your subscription for another 30 dyas if you wish. You will not be automatically charged though, so if you do not renew it, your subscription will simply end. After that, you can renew your subscription at anytime through your My Mad account page, or simply by placing another ad, at which point you will be asked to renew your subscription.

Plan Name	Maximum Number of Listings	Subscription Period	Plan Fee (cost/ad*)	Free Photos
Mad 25	25	30 days	$500 ($20)	3
Mad 50	50	30 days	$700 ($14)	4
Mad 100	100	30 days	$1,000 ($10)	4

* The cost/ad represents the equivalent cost per ad based on using all ads in subscription plan for easy comparison between subscription levels and fee-based ads.

Ad Upgrades

Ad upgrades are special enhancements you can use to improve your ad's effectiveness by increasing visibility or adding additional photos.

Better Placement

$60

Better placement is something that most of us would like to have in our everyday lives. Better placement moves your listing to the front of the line, or in this case, the top of the list. The only listings that will appear before yours are other listings that have also been upgraded with Better Placement and that are newer than your ad. Being at the top of the list can lead to considerably more ad views. Don't let the subtlety of this upgrade fool you, it is perhaps the most powerful of all upgrades.

Featured Ads

Featuring your ad provides you with considerably more visibility for your ad than a regular listing. Featured ads are presented both in the regular browse and search result listings as well as in their own special featured section. Featured results are randomly selected from all ads that have been upgraded. This helps to ensure that an ad may be seen if there are more ads than spaces for those ads. There are two levels available within the featured ads. If you want to use this upgrade, you only need to select one of the two levels of featured ads.

Premium Featured Ads

$30

If you are looking for the most visibility and the most value for your money, this is the featured level you want.

Attention Getters

Attention Getters are special, image callouts that can be added next to your ad title in the browse and search results tables for added attention. Some of these are general in nature, like or and others may be more specific to your ad, like or or .

Additional Photos

$5/photo

All ads, even the free ads in the Give category are allowed one free photo. Photos are very important for any listing, so we wanted to make sure that there was very little reason for not including a photo. Many listings, especially real estate and auto ads, can benefit by adding more photos. These are available at an additional charge, and for those placing bulk ads, additional photos are included in the ad subscriptions as well as the ability to add even more. Any ad can contain up to 10 photos.

Bolding

Bolding is our most basic and affordable way to make your ad standout. Ads that have been bolded will be listed in browse and search in bold and wayMadAds red text. If you are looking for a low cost way to draw a little extra attention to your ad, this what you want. If your ad shows up in the Popular listing in the far right column, then the link will also appear in wayMadAds red there as well.
