Managing Your Submission
How long does the review process take?
Standard submissions are usually reviewed within 24–48 hours. Premium submissions get priority review and skip the queue. Everything is approved by a person before it goes live.
How does the draft system work for Premium submissions?
If you choose Premium but don't complete payment, your submission is saved as a draft. You can resume it from your dashboard, change details, or switch it to Standard. Resubmitting the same listing replaces the old draft rather than duplicating it.
Can I edit my submission after it's submitted?
Drafts you can edit freely from your dashboard. Once a submission is approved and live it is locked, but get in touch if something important needs changing.
What if I want to change from Premium to Standard?
If the Premium submission is still an unpaid draft, you can switch it to Standard from your dashboard. It drops the payment requirement and enters the standard review queue.
Can I track my listing's performance?
Yes — your dashboard shows views and submission status (draft, pending, scheduled, live) in real time.
