You need to sign up for an account and pick a suitable category, you are allowed to replace the ad periodically as it gets pushed down to back pages, perhaps once a week?

There are off shore scam operators making offers with strange payment arrangements you want to avoid.

Sound like you might want to advertise a garage sale.

Backpages.com is another possibility with about 1/5 the readers.
