How to use this service - for Sellers

[Remy]

• The gear4sale service is for bona fide private buyers and sellers. It is not for commercial selling nor for the sale of illegal or offensive goods or goods that are simply not yours to sell. gear4sale will not approve such posts if we suspect that that is the case and the accounts of members who post such ads are liable for suspension.
• Use the Thread Subject line to say what is you are selling e.g. make and model and/or other relevant information. It is not necessary to include the words 'For Sale' in your Subject line since everything here is for sale.
• Use the Message area to give more detail. Include things like age and condition and, if possible, include one or more images of the goods. To be compatible with users with small screens or on dial-up connections (yes, there are still some), make sure your images are no bigger than 600x600 pixels. Host your images on your own web space e.g. Flickr and link to them. If you don't have any web space of your own, you may request us to permit you to upload images as attachments to the gear4sale server though we will limit you to maximum of 500kb of image data.
• If possible, include your asking price. Potential buyers are more likely to contact you if they know what ballpark your price is in. Simply saying 'Offers?' can be offputting to some people.
• Be honest with your description and mention known faults (if any). Do not knowingly mislead buyers. Though gear4sale are not prepared to involved in disputes, we reserve the right to suspend accounts of sellers who are known to consistently post misleading ads.
• DO NOT include personal details like e-mail address, telephone number or postal address in the ad. This is to protect your identity and prevent spam and/or an unwanted invasion of your privacy. Potential buyers will contact you through the Private
  Message (PM) system. Check your messages regularly. You can also have an e-mail sent you at the e-mail address you have specified in your profile (the e-mail address itself will not otherwise be visible to others) - check that this is set in your user profile under User CP in the Welcome bar at the top (under the gear4sale logo).
• Where possible, have an ad for each item you are selling. However, we don't mind if you are selling a kit and want to list everything in one ad with individual prices though we feel that this should be no more than 10 items. If your kit includes items not compatible with the main item of the sale then this should be split out into one or more further ads to make searching more relevant for potential buyers.
• If buyers contact you with common questions, consider updating your ad (you can edit it any time) and give that information there. If you sell your item, update your ad to show that the item has been sold to prevent further contact by enquirers. You cannot delete your ad but all ads older than a preset time (currently 50 days) will be removed regardless of whether the item has been sold or not. You may, of course, re-submit your ad if it has not been sold in this time.
