Shipping, You have to list a price or it posts NONE, for most of the stuff sold here we either list it shipping included or depends on your location.
if no price listed, it now displays UNKNOWN.

Location Required, nice addition, but I can put timbuktoo in there and it accepts it.
System does not have a lookup table/index to verify real locations. Its up to the user to enter this and the mods to keep tabs on anyone abusing it.

Buy it now/pay now, automatically put quantity at 6

Item description default is Excellent?

I went to list an item as a business and I would not let me past the 2nd step, the drop down is empty.

Thanks
Mark
Correct.
My mistake.
The system does not allow us to use those classifications in the manner we wanted to.

So I have had to remove them.

As of now your choices are

FOR SALE
WANTED TO BUY.

I will try to figure out a way to use the others in the future.

everything worked good for me. the only thing that i see is that i looked at other ads with pics and you cant get them very big to see a sled up close.
clarence
The system displays a THUMBNAIL of your original picture.

If the original is large / High-Res, you should be able to click on it and get a ZOOM view of the larger image.

The system should allow a image size of 1024 x 768 as the max to be saved, before it creates the thumbnail.

Hopefully that is plenty big to see a sled up close.

PLEASE!!!!..DO NOT turn swap meet into an ebay style auction. That is a radical change to us people who are just ordinary snowmobilers. :(:(:
Whether or not a particular ad is displayed as an Auction is 100% up to the person who is selling their gear.

Shouldn't they have the option of selling their property as they see fit?????

Love the concept.........Paypal offers great security.........But esculating fees for both Ebay and Paypal will be a deterent or a advantage to Snowest Swapmeet...........hopefully your fee structure will be competitive and stable.......You could give Ebay a run for their money........Nice Job keep on improving........Really enjoy the privilege of using Snowest......Thankyou!! Gary
THERE IS NO FEE STRUCTURE!

That is just an option for the seller to use to take care of his payment.

Right now, the SwapMeet is FREE to all sellers/buyers.

  • the text editor for the item description (tinymce) in default form like that is a huge mess of buttons. Most of which aren't needed. I'd suggest making it as close to the normal forum layout as possible, just to keep things simple.
done!

I misread while listing Quantity of ads , you should put Items


How about if your willing to ship out of country?
I have gotten a lot of PM's from Canadians if I was willing to ship to Canada.

when viewing all adds when you get to the bottom and click on the number for the next page it takes you back to page 1 then you click it again and it will take you to the page you want.
