There are many factors that could cause your advertisement to get rejected. Kindly have a look at the rules below and ensure your ads follow Mudah.my rules of advertising.
Rules of Advertising
Advertise for real, and only for yourself
Ads listed for pure marketing purposes without offering any concrete goods, jobs or services are not allowed. You should place your own ads and not place ads on behalf of someone else.
Ad title
Your ad title should briefly describe what is being advertised, and should not contain prices, salaries, promotional words, contact details, or unnecessary search words. Examples of promotional words includes "promotion", "best deal", "best offer", and "discount".
Ad description
Your ad description should describe what is being advertised. It should not be copied from other advertisers (this is illegal under copyright laws). It should also not contain unnecessary search words, offensive remarks, or links to other auction/classifieds/marketplace sites. Unnecessary search words are words that do not directly refer to the item itself, but rather refer to closely related items. For example, ads for Nike shoes should not contain the words "Adidas", "Reebok", or "Puma".
Ad language
Only ads in English and Bahasa Malaysia are allowed.
Ad category
You should place your ad in the category that best describes what is being advertised.
No multiple items in 1 ad
You should only advertise 1 unique item in each ad.
No duplicates
You should not place the same ad more than once. If you wish to advertise the same item again, please delete your previous ad before you insert a new ad of the same item. Posting the same ad using a different name or email is also not allowed.
Links
You can place links that are relevant to your ad in the ad text description. However, you cannot place links to another auction, classifieds, or marketplace site.
Images
You should add images that are relevant to your ad. Company logos should not be used as images except for the "Services", "Jobs" and "Businesses for Sale" categories.

All items advertised must be original; we suggest that you include images of the necessary document(s) in the ad to prove the authenticity of the item.
Realistic offers
You should provide the actual selling price of your item in your ad, except for ads under the "Jobs" and "Services"categories. Mudah.my reserves the right to refuse unrealistic selling prices which we do not think are the actual full price of your item (strictly no instalments, down-payments or trade-in prices).
Bidding and auctions
We do not accept any ads related to auction or bidding. We only accept ads with actual prices.
