Does it cost anything to sell? |
|
No. After you register, you can list up to 10 items for free! Each free listing will have one picture and will remain on the site for two months, or until it is removed by the seller. If you have lots to sell and need more than the ten "freebies",
purchase a package.
With a package, a seller can list an unlimited amount of items with three pictures on each listing. |
|
|
What do I do when an item has sold? |
| It is the buyer’s responsibility to mark items as SOLD. To do this, go to the "my account" page. Under "listings", click the "edit item" button next to the item that has sold. You will be taken to the "category" page of that item, where you will need to continue on to the the next page by pressing"click here to finish editing your item". On this page, about halfway down, uncheck the little box to hide the item from the site. If for some reason the sale of your item falls through, you can always check the box again to have your listing reappear. |
|
|
How long will my items be listed for? |
|
An item will disappear off the site:
1. After your package has expired (1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month packages are available). Time begins when you purchase your package. If an item or items have not sold, you can always purchase another month of selling time.
To maintain a clean site, free listings will be removed after two months.
2. When a seller has hidden the item by "unchecking the box" (see above question: What do I do when an item has sold)
3. When flagged multiple times by users.
4. If we deem it inappropriate for the site |
|
|
Can I list items after the sale has started? |
| Absolutely. This is your yard sale. You can add and remove items at your convenience. Ideally, you will want your items to be seen throughout the entire the sale, but if you want to add something towards the end you can. Just remember, all items will be removed when your package expires. |
|
|
What is a “red flag”? |
Any user can “red flag” an item. We look at all flagged items. If an item receives three red flags it will automatically be removed from the system. Also, if an item is inappropriate it will only need one flag to get it removed from this site. Flag an item if it is:
~ Offensive: anything inappropriate for a family/community website. Sex-related items are absolutely inappropriate.
~ Re-post: for the seller that likes to keep their items on the front page.
~ Not an item: for users who post announcements and other non-items.
~ Wrong category: for sellers that post their items in the wrong category. |
