Problems trying to post a "for sale" ad

[Dingus]

I'm trying to post an ad for a few sets of brand new but very slightly used strings in the "Other Musically-Related Items" section and when I hit "post" it keeps telling me to state a price , despite the fact that I have already stated my incredibly reasonable price both in the heading and in the text itself.

Am I doing something wrong , or is this just another example of how I am being unfairly victimised by Basschat because of my outspoken views on Victor Wooten?

[discreet]

Did you also put the price in the 'Price or Trade Value' box?

[Dingus]

Yes, Mark, I did that, and it just keeps telling me to put a price.

Victor maquerades as a bass player but mainly just fannies around doing tippy-tappy stuff that is no use to anyone, and if I wanted to give the stuff away I would have to state a price. , even if it was nothing .

I've put " £11 per set + postage " and just " £11" and it still won't work.

It never lets me upload photos, I have to faff about with photobucket all the time.

First ad accepted !

Don`t put the pound sign in that box - this caused me great irritation for a considerable time, changing this/that/everything. It was when I removed the £ that the ad "took".

[Dingus]

Ads now posted . I had to simplify the price to just the figure and not mention postage or my three sets for £30 special offer.

Thanks for all the advice. Job now done.

Apologies, spied this late - but you're spot on as to why the software wasn't letting you post. It just wants the price - if you're trying to convey anything more fancy it needs to go in the body of the advert. Glad you got it sorted.

No problem , Gus, the offers are flooding in ! Mrs Dingus might be able to buy those leggings she's got her eye on in Top Shop.
