Tips for Using Online Classifeds

It's like a garage sale without having to leave the house or take a dozen foreigners to rummage through his things. Online Classifieds is a box full of magic almost anything you can imagine.

Classifieds offer a wide variety of products for sale. Bikes, books, cars, dogs, houses, dogs, cricket and the kitchen sink bats ... You will be surprised what you can find at times. Some people even use the classifieds to find love.

Classifieds can be a source of entertainment. Once I saw the following announcement: "I am selling a very good laptop." The announcement had no make or model, details, specifications, images, or even a price. I have even seen ads for the sale of illegal narcotics online, whether they actually get a response before the announcement was thrown out, is another matter.

What are the more traditional online classified advertising is that it is immediately printed on paper and has a wide scope. Gone are the days when you had to wait for the weekly newspaper. You can browse and advertising nationally and internationally, that are no longer restricted to a limited area of circulation. It is also much easier to submit your ad online to have to spell her name over the phone.

There are many classified sites as http://www.junkmail.co.za where you can see the ads without paying a subscription fee. The Internet offers anonymity. Remember however, the same anonymity that protects you, makes it easier for the tricksters to focus on the wool from your eyes. Read the "tips for avoiding fraud on the front page of classifieds.

Buy online.

* Use your common sense.

If something sounds too good ... So, someone could have beaten a force, but is probably too good to be true. They do not accept replies. Shop around. Compare prices. It's easy to get scammed online. Be alert and aware.

* Safety first.

Always meet the seller in a public place, unless you're buying a pet. Take someone with you. Tell someone where you are going. Never carry large amounts of cash on his person.

* Do not pay before you have seen the goods.

Beware of online payments. Use the computer to make bank transfers. If you must use the vendor or a public computer, make sure the session before you go out and change your password when you get home.

Sell Online.

* Consider paying for an ad.

Although you'll pay for it, your ad will be displayed more prominently on the front page of a classified ad. Featured listings are more striking. If you are selling an expensive item I highly recommend it. The additional exposure will be worth the additional costs.

* A picture paints a thousand words.

Photos attract more attention than plain black text on white. Many online classified allows you to add pictures for free. Do not use a generic name of values or the manufacturer of the image. Take a picture of the item being sold with its own (or loan) camera. In this way, you will have more credibility, because people will see what actually is their product. You will not be disappointed: "It seems that the picture" when they finally meet their potential buyer.

* Ask for a price.

Make a survey of the number of competitors are asking for a similar product. If you ask too much people choose to buy from someone else. If you ask too little, people will think something is wrong. If you are giving something away for free then say why it's free. If you want to share something, be specific.

* Use your most important keyword first.

Sometimes the first (or first two) keyword (s) will be automatically linked to a category that includes similar elements. So instead of saying: Well as a new mp3 player, iPod, for example, iPod, MP3 player, good as new. "You want your iPod in the list with the iPod and not other" almost new ".

* Check your ad.

While there may be control of the correction in the classifieds site, which may take time before your mistakes can be corrected. We are psychologically (even unconsciously) respond more negatively to the messages for errors in the same place. Use your spell check and look for possible typographical errors.

* Give sufficient details.

Give all the technical specifications that the buyer needs to know, but not all trying to adjectives. Be informative, concise and to the point. Do not give your email address in the body text. Could end up in spam lists. Let potential buyers contact you through the classifieds website.

* The security is important.

Meet the buyer in a public place, unless you're selling a pet. If you do however have to meet at his house, meet her yard. Do not let a stranger in the house.

* Wait for the confirmation of payment before delivering the goods.

If you pay more money they have asked to be alert. Failure to pay the difference, unless you have checked and double checked with your bank that your money is in your account and that the transaction was canceled. Read the safety information on the bank's online banking site on the Internet.
