How do I post to more than one location?

You can post your listing to more than one location using our Multiple Location Inventory system. When your account was created, it should have included 1 free Inventory Unit. You can view this from your account page.

With an inventory unit, when you edit or post a listing, you can choose more than one location from the location page of the listing wizard. For instance, if you want to include all cities in a given state, you can choose All under the City list. If you want to include all states in a country, you can choose All under the state/province list. And if you want to post globally, then you can choose all countries.

So this makes it very easy to post a single listing that would be visible in many or all locations.

We give you one free inventory unit to try out this new feature, and after that you can request more inventory. With your request, we will review your account and verify there is no abuse. This helps cut down on people who just want to spam the site with listings everywhere.

How can I make my listings show up higher in search results?

The bidding process using the Boomer Cash works a little differently. If there are other listings in the area our category you are trying to post in, you can choose to have yours appear higher up in search results than theirs. You do this by using Boomer Cash to bid for your listing. If there are no other listings, then you do not need to bid or use Boomer Cash .

You can request more Boomer Cash from your account page using the "Request more Boomer Cash" link.

You can purchase more Boomer Cash from your account page using the "Purchase more Boomer Cash" link.

Then to use the Boomer Cash, on the third page of the listing wizard, there is the Bid for Search Placement option. This shows you what the current high bid is for the kind of listing you are posting.

If your Boomer Cash balance is not zero, then you can bid as much as you want, up to your balance to have your listing appear higher up.

The cost for Boomer Cash is FREE! When more Boomer Cash is requested, we will review your account and listings for abuse or spam. If you are following our terms of use, we will allocate more Boomer cash to your account.

Why is there the website address across the top of each photo I post?

We do this with all photos uploaded to the site as a means of identification.

If someone else were to copy your photo, and post to another site, we would know where the photo came from.

It should only be a small mark in the top left corner of the image, but if you upload a very small image then the text might be larger. If the text is too large, you can always try to upload a larger image.

Please be aware that this step is irreversible. Once deleted, we cannot recover your account or any of your listings.

Any listings you have posted will be deleted. Any forum postings, or replies you may have sent to other members will still remain.
