Steps to posting your items

Assuming you are an authorized Seller and are ready to make your postings.... here are some steps to make things easier:

Set up your signature, with your PayPal information or whatever you want to do to get paid when an items sells.
(You can copy the text from the sample listing) Be sure to change your PayPal email address enough so that it doesn't get harvested by spam bots.
To do this, click on PROFILE in your user menu bar at the top of the screen under the logo image. Then choose 'Forum Profile Information' on the left side menu. Scroll down that page until you get to the 'Signature:' text area. Paste or type in whatever you want to automatically appear on the bottom of every listing you make. You have 900 characters possible in that area. After that the content will automatically appear at the bottom of your posts.
NOTE: If you edit this information later, it will also change on EVERY posting you already have or will add later. You can only have one Signature per seller account. You are allowed 900 characters for this area.

Once you get your Signature section done...

To post listings:

1. Find the item you wish to sell. Weigh it and photograph it (up to 4 ea 640x480 photos per listing). Then download the images to your computer and either resize them or change them to suit. It is a good idea to assign an item number before taking the pictures so you can keep a list of photo image names taken for that item number for later when you put them in your listings. I keep a paper log book just to keep track of the items and to mark them off as they sell.

2. Assign a unique item number to each item (if you haven't already).
Example, your first item number might be ZZ12001 and your next item might be ZZ12002, etc. The numbers and letters are your choice but it should be unique for your own tracking and reference reasons when the item sells.

3. Copy the text portion of the Sample Listing or one of your or another seller's listing.

4. On the Home page, choose the category you wish to post into (please keep this accurate as possible and if you need a new category, please contact us to have that created for you).

5. On the right side of the listings border, you will see a tab marked 'New Posting'. Click that.

6. Make the Subject: of your new listing start with one word that identifies what type of item it is (preferably ALL CAPS) and then add your item Title text to that. This makes your items very searchable when buyers use the search feature. site Administrators may change the search word on your listings for better locate possibilities from time to time. Also, your listing may be moved to better categorize it with other items of that type.

7. In the body of the text area, paste the template text or other listing text you copied in step 4, into your listing.

8. Edit / Add information to that area to match the standard model and the content you want.

9. Add your images by clicking on the 'Additional Options...' link at the bottom of the page

10. In the 'Attach:' section, click on the [Browse...] Button to search for your image on your system from when you saved the pictures you took.
If you have more pictures to add, click on the '(more attachments)' link next to the [Browse...] Button and another 'Attach:' line will appear to search for your next image (up to 4 per listing).

11. When satisfied that the sale listing is ready, click on the [Post] Button on the bottom of the page and your listing will appear.

After Posting your Listing, You can Modify or Remove the listing by first clicking on it to open it and then choosing Modify or Remove from the top right section of the text area.

Pretty easy really. Feel free to ask if you have problems or questions.
