VK Classifieds does not charge a mandatory fee for anyone to use this service but if you can spare a small amount to donate to help cover the costs it will certainly be appreciated. Especially as my server hosting fees are, as of Aug 2021, about to rise by approx 50%! Thank you in advance. If you cannot afford anything then that is perfectly fine and understandable - even a kind word is valued.
