  2. Analytics use no cookies and do not store raw IP addresses. DNT and GPC preferences are respected; the scheduled worker removes visit records older than 90 days.

Getting startedHow do I deactivate or request deletion?
  1. Open My account → Account and preferences → Account status and deactivation. This is for ordinary users/showrooms, not administrative or owner accounts.
  2. Temporary deactivation keeps your data, signs out all devices and hides your posts. Enter your password and confirm before proceeding.
  3. A deletion request deactivates the account and sends an admin review request; data is not permanently erased just by submitting it. You can cancel before deletion is carried out.
  4. To return, sign in and choose Reactivate. Listings stay hidden until reviewed again; transport requests stay private until published. An admin suspension cannot be lifted by the user.

Finding a carHow do I review an advertiser or provider?
  1. Reviews belong to the advertiser account and appear in its listings; customer service requests are not rated. Choose 1–5 stars and an optional comment.
  2. For car sales, both parties must have exchanged messages about the seller’s listing. The rating concerns the interaction, not vehicle condition or proof of purchase.
  3. For rentals and transport, select Review provider after a completed booking. For a transport request with a selected provider, confirm actual completion first. Do not review a service before delivery.
  4. Each reviewer has one editable review per advertiser. Advertisers can reply and report abuse; administrators review reports. Hidden reviews are excluded from averages.

Showrooms and transportHow do I import showroom cars from Excel?
  1. After submission, approval follows the administrator’s policy: manual by default, instant, or delayed. Any applicable payment requirements must still be met.
  2. Select cars and submit directly for review; saving drafts first is unnecessary. If a car cannot be submitted because of its plan or data, it stays saved and the result is shown so you can resume later.
  3. Preview defaults to 20 cars; choose 20, 40 or 80. Select all on this page selects valid visible cars; select batch includes every page. Selections persist across pages and the total selected is shown.
  4. Open Import cars from Excel in your showroom account and download the current template. Fill Cars only, up to 50 rows. Choose make, model and governorate; keep a stable, unique stock code within your showroom.
  5. Upload XLSX up to 2MB and optional ZIP up to 60MB. Use code folders such as A001/01.jpg, up to 8 photos per car and 5MB each. The first in filename order is the cover. Actual server upload limits are displayed on the page.
  6. Review the preview and correct unknown names or invalid numbers. Apply make/model corrections to matching names in the batch. Re-upload to fix stock-code or photo errors.
  7. Reusing a code updates the listing previously created by import in your account. Blank fields preserve existing data, and photos are kept by default; choose append or replace when needed. Cars absent from a file are never deleted.
  8. Review row results and listing/payment links, or download the CSV report. Listings changed after preview require a new preview. Edit instalment and swap terms in the listing editor. Deleting a batch removes its drafts, log and staged photos, not submitted listings.
