[Singapore] Category-based General listing quota for all goods category
From 27 March 2023, all sellers can have unlimited active listings in their profile. Every month, sellers will be given free quota in each goods category. Quota refers to the number of listings you can create or mark as active each month. Listings activated by quota will not expire. This means that you can now list more with free quota in each category!
Category quotas are non-transferrable and can only be used within the category.
What's changing?
There will no longer be a limit on the total number of listings you can have in your profile. The category-based General listing quota system allows you to now list more than before!
For example:
Current General quota of 30 system: You can only have 30 live listings in your profile.
New category-based General listing quota system: On 27 March 2023, you can list 50 items in Hobbies & Toys category and 30 items in Computers & Tech category. On 27 April 2023, you can list 50 items in the Hobbies & Toys category again. In total, you now have 130 live listings in your profile.
What will happen to my unused General Quota after 27 March 2023?
Any unused General Quota of 30 will not be returned and will be removed from 27 March 2023 onward.
For CarouBiz subscribers with additional General Quota benefits in their package and/or users with existing custom quota purchases, any unutilised quota before 27 March 2023 will be transitioned to Master Quota.
Master Quota allows you to create listings in any goods category. The issued quota will be valid for use till the next renewal or when your package expires.
Will my existing active listings be impacted?
No, all listings that were made active before 27 March 2023 will remain active on the marketplace unless marked as sold, deleted or removed for moderation reasons.
How does the refresh window work?
(Only available on 27 March 2023) Your free quota will refresh on the same day of each month. You can check the date of your quota refresh in the "Manage listings" page.
Will my unused quota accumulate?
Unused quota will not accumulate.
If the free quota is unused, it will reset to the original number of free quota on the next refresh date.
For paid additional quota that is unused, it will be removed upon expiry. There will be no extensions for these quotas.
Can I transfer my quota to other categories?
Each quota is allocated to a specific category and is not transferrable across categories.
When I change a category of my listing, will it consume quota?

Will my listings expire?

What if I want to list more than the allocated amount of quota for the category?
