Below you will find a list of frequently asked questions with answers. If you have a question that is not answered below, please contact us.

Q: How much does it cost to register?
A: Nothing. Registration is FREE. By registering we can keep you up to date with new items listed in a category that you have registered a particularly interested in; and with occasional emails that I use to inform folk of new site developments.

Q: Do I have to register to use the site?
A: No. You can browse and search ads without registering. You should still register, to save time, as the site will remember various preferences for you. If you want to create ads, you will need to register. Registration is FREE.

Q: How Much Do Ads Cost?
A: If you choose to have a subscription with us, then the costs vary, depending on the number of adds that you wish to run at the same time. Your subscription is for a WHOLE YEAR and you are paying for the advertising space, so once an item is sold, you simply list another one, until you have used all of your allocation. As it is only ?10 for up to 50 items, not many of you are likely to run out!

Q: How Long Does an Ad Run?
A: If you have a subscription, then all of your ads will run for a whole year. Please do not forget to mark items as sold and remove the listings when you have been successful - This will save you getting unnecessary contacts.

Q: Do I Have to Register to Create Ads?
A: Yes. You must be a registered user to create ads. Registration is free and simple.

Q: I created an ad, but it does not show up in search results. Why?
A: You need to run your ad. Go to My Account and click on Run ad to the left of the ad you wish to run. If is for a feature ad, then the system will ask for your credit card information, and your ad will run as soon as your payment is processed.

Q: I sold my stuff. How do I stop my ad from running?
A: From the My Account page, click on the Stop link to the left of the ad. If you have a subscription, you may place another add in it's place until the subscription expires!

Q: What Category Should I Put My Ad In?
A: If you don't see a relevant category/sub.category, choose the nearest one to your requirements. You can email it to me and if necessary, I can add another field to the site! Remember, you can list the same ad in more than one category if it is relevant to them all.

Q: What region should I put my ad in?
A: The region you live in. By default the region will be the region you specified on your profile when you registered, but you can change this at any time. This means that each time you log in, it will bring up all of the listings in your region first. If you don't want it to do this, then just go log out again.

Q: Will my ad be visible in other regions?
A: Yes. All ads are visible in any region. The system will, however, always show a person ads in their region first, then ads from outside their region.

Q: I don't want my name, phone number or email address to appear on your site. What should I do?
A: You can have all your personal information remain private. Update your personal privacy preferences from the My Account page under your personal and privacy profile settings. I would advise you not to make your home address visible on your listings and never give out your home address to anyone who contacts you, unless they are going to collect something from you and not until you have received their payment.

Q: If all my information is private how can a buyer contact me?
A: When your ad appears, instead of showing your contact information the following appears: "This seller has chosen to remain private. You may contact this seller via anonymous email by clicking here." The prospective buyer completes an on-line form and the system sends you an email without revealing your information to the prospective buyer. I then deal with the enquiry on your behalf :-)

Q: What is your privacy policy?
A: See Privacy Policy for details.

Q: How Do Regions Work?
A: We have tried to cover as many countries and areas as possible. We have called them regions, to make it easier when searching. When you register or create ads, you select a region. When you browse ads, ads in your region will be shown first. When you search for ads, ads in your region will be shown first. This only happens when you are logged in.

Q: I don't see my city/county/state listed. What region should I choose?
A: It is not possible to list cities or states/counties for all of the countries that we represent. Please choose the nearest region to where you live, or let me know and I will ad it for you :-)
