I thought we got 4 free ads? I just posted G2 for sale and had a listing fee of $.50. I'm not really worried about the $.50 but thought you should know. Just for the record, I'm going somewhere else to sell. That fee is WAY to high for me! Just kidding...

Thanks,

IronZ,

Yes..you get 4 free ads for the trailing 12 months. I'm going to check your account now.

I credited your account. This happened because you were upgraded to a pay as you go member. You should "technically" use up your 4 free ads before you upgrade unless you are going to do features and enhancements. I also credited you so you could get the remainder of your free ads.

i just found the same thing....
after reading all the ads saying every member get 4 free adverts i thought, umm great place to sell my ff6 as the E-bay thing looks complicated and i lose any extra £ i make from the unknowing morrons there in the fees, than i would from people that know the worth here and it goes for a bit less.
but then i see this...

so which is it? do we all get 4 free ads, do i sign up as a new member and get my 4 free ads or do i need to upgrade?

anyone want a FF6?

all i want to do is put up an advert ( maybe auction i dunno ) with a few pics showing it's ok and then some nice guy buy it off me.
all the $ signs also worry me, i dont want $, so would my ad show £? and whats the insertion fee in real money£?
whats it like in there for a brit trying to sell to brits? my guess would be slowwwwww coz no one here is there.

FF6 for sale 75 quid, great condition + case + batt + original box

Thanks Marc. Really though, I wasn't worried about it.

phillybaby - before you upgrade you might want to take advantage of the 4 free ads. If you do the pay as you go option the system is setup to charge you for all insertions. This is best to use after your 4 ads have been placed.

the other upgrade options allow for unlimited ads to be posted for $20 USD for an entire year without insertion fees. In these higher level upgrades the 4 free ads is no longer relevant since after upgrade all ads are free.

sorry Marc, didnt make myself clear. i'm not upgrading, but thought i'd try the 4 free adds, however once there i saw.

"Insertion fees may apply to both classified ads and auctions (if you are an R/C Power or R/C Platinum upgraded Member of RCUniverse, in which case you do not have to pay insertion fees.). "

so that says no free adds for us grunts.

i've not used E-bay or RCU before and all i wanna do is sell a couple of things, but all i see is hoops to jump through and confusion as i dont know either system.

also the free ads are for clasified and not auctions?

auctions are fee insertion, free reserve, free closing. (private sellers only..not commercial sellers).

as a basic member you get 4 free ads for the trailing 12 months. A logic issue now is that if you upgrade to the RC trading (1st level) upgrade the logic will have you pay for your ads and not grant the 1st 4 free. This will have to be coded with a fix.

These are not hoops but details we are working on since the transition. All registered members get 4 free ads per year based on the trailing 12 month period. You could post 4 ads today for free and then wait a year to get your next 4. Or another example is you could post 1 ad today then 3 ads on day 364 and then on day 366 you would be able to post 1 ad again for free. The examples might make this sound more confusing then it is. Basically if you have 4 ads used up as you look back 12 months then you are at your limit. Once the year looking back has less than 4 you can post again until you hit the limit.
