Sellers Overload Lanaka Ads — Here's Why Buyers Bail
Sellers think long descriptions and photo galleries reassure buyers. In vehicles, they list engine specs, mileage logs. Properties get floor plans, 360 views. Intent: Showcase quality, prove value.
Buyers report suspicion from generic ads. Colombo property search: 78% scan mobile, ignore unverified towers. Kandy vehicles: 71% skip non-SIM-NIC profiles. Reality: Buyers in high-volume categories like vehicles (Vehicle sellers post 20+ photos; 85% buyers on Android skip slow loads) and properties (Colombo flats flood searches) face 100+ listings daily. Detail overwhelms. Property ads exceed 75 words; scans ignore walls of text. Result: 67% failed listings from overload, not quality.
Property buyers feel scammed by flashy unverified towers.
