Tips For
Users
-
Our
Advanced Search form (link located on the main classifieds page)
utilises Boolean logic functionality to perform
searches on our database. Users should take advantage of this powerful
facility, for example, if a user wanted to do a quick search for all
“arabs” and “quarter" horses in our horses category:-

Similarly, to search
for all “wintec” saddles in our Equestrian Equipment category type
in the word wintec in the Find Keywords field and select Equestrian
Equipment from the Category List Box.
-
To ensure that your
telephone number will be displayed in your contact information make sure
that “yes” appears in the list box under “Display Street Address and
Phone Number in Ad?:” when placing your advertisement. If the box is left blank your phone number will
not appear.

-
Prepare your photos before upload.
For example, crop any unnecessary background and make sure the photo(s)
meet our size parameters If you do not have software such as Paint Shop
Pro or Photoshop to delete unnecessary background and to resize your
image files listed below are some alternatives:
1. You can use the 'Paint' software application that comes with Windows
XP (Start> All Programs> Accessories> Paint). You can then use a FREE
application such as PicSizer to downsize the size of the image file
before upload to the Internet. To download PicSizer
click here.
2. Microsoft Office picture manager - just right click a photo in any
folder and choose "edit" and it opens the program. You can
crop/rotate/auto correct using this program as well as compressing and
resizing them to appropriate sizes for upload to the web.
3. Shrink Pictures is an
excellent online application that allows you to resize your picture
files over the Internet.
If you are unable to change your image file to meet our upload
parameters please do not hesitate to email us your image file for us
to upload for you.
-
When enquiring about
items for sale we suggest that you send an email to the contact person
in the first instance. This will save on phone calls if the item has
already been sold.
-
If you are buying
equipment, tack etc. and having it delivered we suggest that you use
C.O.D.(Cash On Delivery) unless you are confident about the person you are dealing with.
This will ensure peace of mind.
C.O.D. is easy to
use. Take your parcel to your postal outlet and complete a lodgment
slip. The article will be delivered to the postal outlet closest to
the recipients’ address, and the recipient will be informed that there
is a C.O.D. item awaiting collection. There is a minor charge for the
C.O.D. service which you can split with the seller.
-
It
would be appreciated if all users could delete the advertisements they
have placed in our FREE categories that are no longer valid. Thank
You!
