To browse ads in a specific category:

From the home page, click on a top-level category:

The first 25 ads from that category and from its subcategories will be displayed.

To narrow your search further click on a subcategory:

To browse the latest ads:

Simply click on Latest Ads on the navigation bar.

To search ads:

Enter a word or phrase to see only ads in the current category containing that exact word or phrase.

To filter the ads:

When browsing ads within a category you have the option of filtering the list of ads. By filtering the list, you reduce the number of ads displayed according to selections you make.

To apply a filter to the list of ads, you can:

• Check the "Hide new goods" checkbox to see only used items.
• Check the "Hide commercial sellers" checkbox to see only ads from private sellers.

To apply the filter selections you have made, click the Apply button.

These settings are saved even when you browse to a different category. To turn off the filter, uncheck the checkboxes and click the Apply button.

To ask a question of a seller:

First, browse to the ad and click on the ad title to see the details.

Then, either note the seller"s phone number or click the link labelled Email Click Here:

You are presented with an email form in which you can type your message.

To buy an item:

• Contact the seller just as you would if asking the seller a question, and arrange to meet them to view the item.
• Items containing expensive rechargeable batteries or ink or toner cartridges are always suspect, expect to have to replace the battery or cartridge and factor that into the price.
• Always test the item fully before paying for it. If it can’t be tested before the sale, just say no.
• If the item is large and the seller offers to deliver but wants a deposit before delivery you run the risk of losing your deposit. Suggestion: meet the seller at the pickup location with the deposit and help the seller deliver it.

What to do if a buyer wants to buy your item:

• Arrange a time and place for the buyer to visit you
• Plan it so that you are not home alone
• Have the item ready to test (i.e. if an electronic good, have it plugged in ready to test).
• Ask for cash; only accept a cheque or money order if you can wait for it to clear before giving the item to the buyer.

What the counters in each ad mean:

Counters are kept for each ad that contains a photo. To see the counters for an ad, click on the ad title. The counters are shown near the bottom of the ad, for example:

Yesterday this ad was browsed 62 times and viewed 2 times.
To date this ad has been browsed 355 times and viewed 13 times.

The counters are updated each night so they are only current as of the previous night. Two sets are shown: the "Yesterday" numbers are the prior day only; the ’to date" numbers are from the time the ad was posted through to the end of the prior day.

In each set of counters there are two numbers: the "browsed" number shows the number of times the ad was viewed within its category and on the Latest Ads list; the "viewed" number shows the number of times someone clicked down to view the details of the ad.

Note: counters were activated for ads placed after April 8th, 2006.
