This area is for members to list items for sale to the general public. The items can be from any online site you sell on - Amazon, Etsy, Tradesy, eBay, your own website, etc.
1. For maximum exposure to search engines, each item should have its own thread. Members, feel free to comment on an item thread, but don't add any additional items to the thread. ONLY ONE LISTED ITEM per thread. No limit on comments, comment away.
2. Use keywords, as many as you can. Provide detail on your item so search engines will have something to latch onto. Just popping up a link to the item, a title and a picture won't do you any good. Consider this an expanded copy of your original listing. MORE is better! Expand on it!!
3. Pictures of the item are required. Notice that says "pictures", plural - pictures are good. If you plan to add a lot of pictures, please size them so they aren't overly huge. There are multiple ways to do this, see the picture tip discussion in the Forum Tips area.
4. A link to your actual listing is required. Remember, this area is open to the public and non-members will be viewing items listed here. How are they going to find your item if you don't add a link? Proboards has a link builder feature - use it. Look at the icons in the reply window, it's the one that looks like a piece of paper in front of a globe (first icon).
5. Please police your items. Edit your post to put SOLD in the thread title when the item sells, and the admins will remove your listing for you.
6. If you wish, you can also edit your post to update your link if you item is relisted, so it goes to the new item #. You may also end the old post (see point 6 above) and start a new thread for the new item #. Listings here with dead links will be deleted by the admins with no advance notice to you. This board needs to show active, current links.
Happy Selling!
