For Sale NEW CLASSIFIEDS SYSTEM - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

[rsscott]

Hi all,

We have installed a new classifieds system on the forum. If you have something to sell or buy, please create your listing here :

https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/classifieds/

If it works well, it will replace the existing classifieds sub-forums.

Please report any problems or other feedback/suggestions in this thread.

Thanks!
Russ.

Update: Please tick 'Free Post' under Listing Options to avoid getting the error about not selecting a valid package (this is because Pedelecs doesn't charge for you to list items for sale)

I tried to post to this but I received a message saying 'please select a valid package' which I didn't understand.

Unfortunately, my listing can only be seen by me, as an "activity". When I look at the listing of items in the classfied section, it is not listed.

How do I delete an item that's for sale after it's sold?

I tried to post to this but I also received a message saying 'please select a valid package'

Ditto & I had to select free posting. That's a bit silly. Once I selected that, I saved, but was told a server error had happened. It hadn't and the post was made OK. That, presumably, is why we get so many multiple posts for items, when sellers repeatedly click save after getting that erroneous error message.

Needs work!

Why has it expired my listing when it hasn't sold yet?

 

[Jon Swift]

My post has not appeared. I'll try again.

I read all of the above but still didn't realise what I was doing, the layout is so confusing. I think there may be a problem with the submit button, in that is active before you have scrolled down and ticked the free listing box and other things that aren't obvious., soa partial advert can be submitted. After 5 years of the new system shouldn't the old classified sub-forum be removed? Or at least renamed to make it obvious not to post there? I've posted my advert twice because I couldn't see it in when I clicked on classified on the left, and I also could not activate notifications despite agreeing lots of times, so I didn't get notifications about replies to my advert. It really has been a most confusing experience. Also, personal messaging isn't obvious. It says 'start a conversation', which isn't totally clear if that is a general conversation or private. Now I realise it is private, but I didn't want to put private info in a message that might be seen by many.
