Edit/Add - For Sale or Wanted Items

You can click on the link Add Wanted or For Sale Items (at the bottom or top of the page) to add new listing . If you want to change a listing you have already posed, you can lick on the Item ID number, in the first column, of the ad you want to change or delete.

Photos

If you want to add a photo to any of your For Sale ads, you can click on the link in the second column, on the same row that corresponds to the photo. You will be taken to a new page that will allow you to Browse to your photo file.
PLEASE REMEMBER THESE GUIDELINES FOR UPLOADING PHOTOS.
1. Only one photo per ad is allowed, so make sure you choose a good complimentary photo.
2. Make sure the file name is unique. If you have already uploaded a photo file named MyPhoto.jpg for a jack you have for sale, and then later you want to list an ad for another animal, and you upload a photo file with the same name (MyPhoto.jpg) then both ads will have the same picture, and in this case the picture for the jennet will show up for the jack, because the jennet photo was uploaded last.
3. Please try to keep your photo file size as small a possible, (but still large enough so viewers can get a good look at your animal).
