-Contact a seller...
if you send a message using the box below the item description, the seller will receive an email with notice of your message. The seller then has the option of providing his personal details.
-Back button....
There is a blue back arrow in a circle you can use to go back a page. If you have changed the view to show the date listed (newest to oldest listing etc) using the date tag along the top, you will need to click on the Ads List in the green box to the right again. This seems to set the new order and it will prevent the blue back button from playing up. Apparently the internet was not ment to go in reverse!
-Edit button....
The crayon/pencil symbol allows you to edit your listing.
-Cancel button...
This is a red circle with a line through it. If your ad has expired, please remove it from the listings. If you wish to relist it, use this to cancel, and it will give you the option of relisting instead of cancelling. This is handy as it saves you from having to enter it again. Just be sure to change dates, prices etc.
List an item for sale:
Start a new listing...

2. Click on New Ad in the green box to the right.
3. Select a category, and click on choose this category at either the top of bottom of the list.

5. Please remember to come back and visit your ad listing. You may want to relist, or if sold, please remove from the onLine market.
Adding a photo...
Ad photo to 'main picture'. This will be the thumbnail displayed in the listing.
Ad extra photos to 'pictures'.
People are able to click to open pictures for a better view.
Hint: Photo sizes to big (ie 3MB) it will not load. Need to shrink your photo for web use.
Quick lession:
Step 1. Make a copy (if you dont want to mess with your original).
Step 2. On your copied photo, right click, select open with and select Microsoft office picuture manager.
Step 3. Select Edit picutres option which is up the top.
Step 4. Then down the right side of your screen, use compress picture. You can then select web pages, and click ok. This will give you a file size of 30KB instead of large MB etc.
Step 5. Close the window using red X up the top right and Save when asked. You now have a small photo ready for online use.
Using Attachments...This is best used for adding any extra infromation you think people would like to see. Scanned copy of warranty, PDF files, business terms & conditions etc. Do not use this for display photos.
Google coordinates... are an easy way for people to see where you live. You can use profile coordinates, or you can use select coordinates. This opens up a map, where you can click on a place, then click select and it uses these coordinates. This helps if you want them to pick up from somewhere other than listed on your profile, or keep it general to your area without being specific to your home.
5. Nearly finished. You just need to agree to the terms and conditions, and hit save. You are on your way!
I hope these hints help get you started. More hints to come as I find them!

Don't forget to remove your listing if it has been sold or expired!
