3. How can I post a classified advertisement if I am not a member?

First of all, we do get a lot of questions about posting advertisement to our classified section from non-members. We want to point out that BAMBI does not allow the posting of Business and Promotional advertisements on BAMBI Website Classified Advertisements section. If you are unsure whether or not your advertisement would be considered business or promotional, do not do any money transfer, send us your advertisement first to website@bambiweb.org, and if the advertisement is approved, we will wait for your payment (with proof) before posting your advertisement on BAMBI website.

If you've made a money transfer/donation without consulting with us with your advertisement, and it turns out we cannot post your advertisement, we will not offer you a refund, please be aware of this.

Non-members can now post advertisements on the website for a full month through the following easy steps:

1. Transfer donation amount at an ATM to the following bank:
