Jim,
Thanks for your response.Trust is the key,and I believe most collectors have the integrity to do the right thing.

How do I get a picture from my folder on computer onto my classified post? Thank you Rick

Here are instructions to use "File Manager" to directly upload pictures into your posts on our Shop Talk forum. There is also a link there to resize your image to 640 x 480 so it will work properly.

? FOR YOU.. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE RULES ARE FOR POSTING OLD SIGNS FOR SALE. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. HAVE SOME REAL GOOD FINDS FOR SALE. MY WIFE USUALLY LISTS THEM ON CRAIGSLIST WHERE EVER WERE WORKING AT. FIGURED THEY WOULD GET MORE ENTHUSIASTS FROM HERE .

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Dean: Read Jim's very first post. It has most of the answers. Best thing is to post pictures. There is a tutorial for that in the shop talk forum help section. Oil and gas signs go in the for sale petrolina section and non oil and gas go down below in the for sale non-petro section. Post pictures and prices to get best results. Yhere is a values section where you can post pics and people here will help with estimates on value.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WILL TRY THIS.

what are the guidelines on posting a listing multiple times to get your product of offer back on the front page. just wondering

Our policy has always been that multiple posts with the similar content are not allowed. This obviously means posting the same message in the For Sale and the Online Auctions forums is just taking extra space up without adding anything for the community's good.

The bump post that moves the topic up in the chronological listing of topics is pretty much the same thing. Nothing significant added, just a post to move ahead of other members.

Additional photos and significant added information are always welcome as well as price changes and marking the item as sold.

The moderators have not put a priority on eliminating all bump posts because so many other issues need attention. When we receive complaints or when the bumping is repeated or excessive, it becomes "moderator bait" calling out for action. We have recently had to deal with multiple bumps in one topic in one day.

It all comes down to empathy and respect for the other members. By boosting up your topic, it pushes down the other topics in that forum. Practicing respect for each other is expected by everyone who participates. If the moderators feel that respect is lacking by a bumping incident, the bump post may be deleted and/or the topic locked.

I have bumped an item i had for sale before, but after waiting a few days. I find it very annoying when people bump items within the first 24 hours.

After some comments this past week, we are going to accept and encourage eBay announcements to be placed in the "For Sale or Trade Petroliana" forum OR the "online Auctions, eBay Petroliana" forum. Not both.

eBay Announcement Topics posted in the For Sale forum will be subject to the Guidelines of the For Sale forum, so no critical posts about the seller, price or condition of the item.

Such a high percentage of topics in the Online Auctions, eBay Petroliana forum are about repros and shady practices that normal legitimate auctions became lost in the traffic.
