Vivastreet blog

When you think about selling your car or advertising your language course, you are probably aiming to get as many views as possible. Did you know that 65% of buyers or renters are friends… family or even colleagues! And what if you could instantly broadcast your listing to your friends across your social network and your email contacts?

With our new release we have added a sharing Facebook icon on the detail page of your ad so you are always just a click away from sharing an ad with your friends on Facebook. The first time you share on the network, you’ll have to go through a Facebook login/registration page that will connect your Vivastreet account with your Facebook account. After that, sharing is just a simple click away. When you post an ad your friends will be able to see your ad (including any pictures you have uploaded) right in their news feed.

We are happy to announce that you can now upgrade your ads even easier. If convenience is what you’re after, our PayPal payment option is the easy choice.

Why pay with PayPal?

• No need to enter credit card number every time you make un upgrade of your ad  – just log into your PayPal account, confirm payment, and you’re done
• PayPal’s fraud detection and verification techniques are among the best in the industry
• Pay with flexibility – use your PayPal balance, bank account, credit card or debit card

Of course you can still continue to use Visa or MasterCard when purchasing your featured ads on Vivastreet.
