In my website users can create their ads. Each ad has the following items that displays for public:

  • ad title

  • ad category (for example ad is about constructions or IT or …)

  • ad type (for example ad is for sale or ask for buy or …)

  • ad created date

  • ad body

  • ad owner contact info (but not for public, only logged in users)

Which Schema.org type should I use for this type of content? Article or other type?

If they want to buy something: Demand
If they want to sell something: Offer

The actual thing they want to buy/sell would be a Product (or Service), specified by the itemOffered property.

As Georg mentioned, definitely not the "Article" but this should be sufficient: https://schema.org/WPAdBlock.

I do not recommend "Article" as this refers to a news article or investigative report - certainly NOT an ad posted by people.

I much more would ask the user (poster) whether they are advertising a product or service (in case both is possible on your site). Depending on what they select I would then describe the data either as

Service: https://schema.org/Service

or

Product: https://schema.org/Product

    As I haven't heard back from you - remember, some attributes are optional - the rest, make the user pick the correct attribute value via text field or dropdowns. That's it :)
