How promotion works here. Promotion is a paid placement, offered only for published listings that passed screening. Prices below are launch pricing (proposed). Checkout runs through our payment provider; this demonstration takes no payment.
Promote a listing. Labeled, always.
Listing on WhipLister is free, forever. Promotion is an optional extra for published listings that want more eyes — and it plays by strict rules: promoted cars sit in a clearly separated, clearly labeled promoted slot, never blended into organic results, and promotion never changes a car's AI deal check.
Three tiers

What "promoted" looks like
A separated slot, labeled on its face — this sample renders exactly how a Boosted listing will.

The promotion rules — no fine print games
- Verified listings only. Promotion is offered after a listing passes the verification gate and is live. It can never be bought to skip, speed up, or soften verification.
- Activates when payment clears. Payment is processed by our payment provider; your promotion window starts when the payment clears, not when you click buy.
- One-time purchase. No subscription, no auto-renew, ever. When the window ends, the label comes off and the listing continues free.
- Expires on schedule. Boost ends at 7 days, Featured at 14, Spotlight at 30 — counted from activation. Pausing a listing doesn't extend the window.
- Receipt by email. Every purchase emails a receipt with the tier, start, and expiry. Keep it; it's also in your account.
- Deal check is untouchable. Promotion buys visibility, never credibility. The AI deal check reads your price against comparable cars exactly the same whether you promote or not — an above-market price will still say so, promoted or not.
- Labeled on its face. Promoted listings carry the Promoted badge everywhere they appear, and promoted slots are visually separated from organic results.
- Removal forfeits the window. If a listing is removed for violating our rules (fraud, bait, misrepresentation), its promotion ends with it and is not refunded. Honest mistakes fixed with our team are handled case by case.
Sellers: you'll find the Promote action on your live listing through Manage your listing and right after publishing in the sell flow. Buyers: here's how to read labels and shop safely.
