Note to Businesses
This is a free service for non-commercial use. Stores or businesses that wish to advertise in the "Business/Professional Listings" area must pay a small fee to help us maintain this high traffic service and keep the site from being overrun with commercial advertisements.
All other areas are free to businesses and individuals alike as long as ads remain in context for that area. For example, a club promoting a party in the club area is fine and free but a store sneaking an ad about a sale in the employment area is foul play and will not be tolerated.
For a store or business to place an ad simply click on my account on the left menu after you log in to purchase credits.
Am I a business?:
When in doubt, ask, but here is a basic definition of a business: If you want to post an ad selling items that you stock with the intention to sell, you are a business - doesn't matter if you do this from home. I do make exceptions to people who make really cool things and are just starting out, etc. But I prefer you ask than assume. I'm not out to make money from all this, but if I do not charge for businesses then this site will become a spam database and the legit ads will be hard to find. The For Sale area was geared more towards people wanting to sell things they own and no longer want or no longer fit, etc. Businesses can also find this area useful but this is not a free ticket.
I want to support the community, and hence why the rest of the site is free to businesses, such as clubs wanting to advertise, etc. But the For Sale area can easily be abused and so I have the special fee requirements to keep that under control. Please work with me on this!
To Reiterate:
This service is free to members BUT a store or business wishing to post to the For Sale area ONLY need to pay a small free. All other categories are free to businesses assuming the ad is in context with that category.
Warning: I hate sneaks so play fair!
