...a website (in Persian) in which prospective kidney sellers advertise.
Google translate worked well enough to give me an idea of what the ads say; here are some of them translated by Afshin Nikzad...
The first line of each ad is bold, and has the following format:
Name (gender), Age, Blood type, Price.
