Free MoparStyle Classified Ad Tips

I spent some time today looking over the cars in the free classified ads, and there's a lot of nice stuff in there. I hope y'all make it a habit to visit that area of the site weekly -- if nothing else, to lick your chops at the nice stuff.

There are a few things that I noticed, which will help those listing the ads, that I would like to share.

• Use photos. Ads with photos are rotated onto the showcases, get more attention, and have a much better success rate.
• Put your best photo in the first photo position, as the thumbnail for the ad is built from the first photo.
• Give a City and State in the location. Ads without a location get less action because people assume the worst. Don't just list the city, as not everyone is familiar with your region.
• Give a good way for people to contact you, and check off the box to be notified for comments. Many times people ignore all other contact information and ask their questions in the comments. If you're not notified -- it may be days, weeks, or even months before you answer -- and the prospect has moved on.
• Mark your Ad as sold -- when you have sold it.
• Edit, Move, Delete, or Mark Sold. On the NavBar is a dropdown menu called "Product Options". There you will find Icons allowing you to maintain your ad. Mouse-over the icons for their description.
• Mark an item as sold when you sell it. It frees you up for one more ad, doesn't waste a buyer's time, adds to the amount sold at MoparStyle, and keeps you from getting pestered.

Both Buyers and Sellers need to use common sense when dealing with each other. While most people are honest -- there are a lot of scam artists out there. Be careful, and listen to your gut feeling -- and you will be OK. A few tips are:

• If it sounds too good to be true -- it most likely is not true.
• Beware of "Cashier Check" scams. Call the bank and verify the check for that amount was issued. Let the buyer know that you won't release the item until you have verified the check. Taking a cashier's check after a bank closes and releasing the item should only be done with complete trust.
• Beware of the overpayment for shipping -- refund the balance scam.
• The best form of payment is Interbank Wire Transfer. Once in your account -- it is as good as gold. Most large transactions should be via Interbank wire transfer as it better protects both the buyer and seller.
• Photos make 10 footers look better than they are.
• Ask a lot of questions, and use your gut feelings when listening to the answers. If it doesn't sound right -- ask more questions and get better proof of your concerns.
• Report questionable ads with details of why you think it is questionable. While we are not responsible for the ads placed by sellers, or the actions of the buyers or sellers, we do want to do our best to make the free classified ad site as good of a Mopar classified ad experience as possible.

All members have the ability to place Free Classified Ads -- with photos. The number of ads (4 to 25) vary with your type of membership. There are no strings attached. So grab your digital camera and head out to the garage and shed to photograph and list any Mopar parts which you no longer need. It will get you cash, free up storage space -- and give another Mopar enthusiast the item he needs.

If you need a car transported, or have an empty pickup bed or trailer needing a load, consider using the Transport section of the classifieds. Again, use safe practices or checking out people you don't know before handling over your pride and joy to someone you don't know.

MoparStyle has the best Mopar Classifieds -- and they're a free service to Mopar Enthusiasts. Please feel free to use them.
