| Creating & Managing Ads |
|
Where do I advertise a business ad? |
|
Our home page, which is the directory page, is where businesses and professionals of any type post ads about their business or service. It is the home page (directory), where you advertise your company info, such as your name, location, business hours, company logo, what you do, what you don't do, the services you provide, contact information and so forth. Consider the home page just like the printed yellow pages, but online.
|
|
|
|
|
Where do I advertise a product or service I'm selling? |
|
This is when you would use our classifieds section of the site. Just as you would list an ad on www.craigslist.com, www.ebay.com, www.ubid.com, or any other popular classifieds site, this is where you would list ads for selling products or services. This is not where you advertise your business, but where you advertise something of trade or service, where you're asking for money or offering a FREE product.

|
|
How long will my ad listings run? |
|
Members can have an unlimited number of ads in their account. Once an ad is RAN, that ad then become live and is visible to site viewers. When an ad is RAN, that ad will run for the life of your subscription period, however long that is, but you can stop, edit, or delete an ad at any time, and you can do this from your my account page. |
|
|
|
|
Where Is My Ad... I Just Created A New Ad and Don't See It? |
|
Once you create an ad, that ad goes into a DRAFT, meaning it's not visible to site viewers. If you want your ad to display, you must "run" that ad. If not, it just sits in your account inactive.
If you ran your ad, than it's likely sitting in queue for an administrator to approve.
|
|
|
|
|
I Don't Want To See Ads From Other Countries... |
|
If you are in the USA for example, and you only want to see ads from the USA, than change your location to the United States. If you leave your location at ANY, than you'll see all ads, from all over the world.

|
What category should I put my listing in? |

|
Use the Ratings System...? |
|
Rate the Advertiser / Rate the Service / Rate the Item being Sold.
The ratings system we have in place allows for buyers or consumers to rate both the seller, advertiser or service provider, as well as their service or item being sold.
To rate an advertiser or their product or service, click on the stars in the ad. If you wish to leave 5 stars, click on the 5th star. You will see how the stars change to YELLOW indicating your selection of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stars. Once you make your selection, a box will pop up. This is where you will make your written comments about that business, service or item. Depending on where you're at on the site, you can rate the business, their service or an item being sold.
Be a good user and please evaluate businesses, services, and/or items being sold. Compliment where necessary and if you're treated bad or receive unprofessional service, rate that appropriately, but PLEASE RATE.
Once an initial rating is given, a "Ratings" tab will be created and placed at the top of the ads description. This is where all ratings are stored and reviewed. If you don't see a ratings tab, that ad has not been rated yet.
Members "must" be logged in to rate and you "can not" rate yourself.
** Names are not added to rating comments. All that is left for advertiser and our viewers is the TEXT you enter, so what you say is never traced back to you. **

Add a Venue ( The Meeting Place for an Event ) |
|
A venue is the physical location where the event is being held. Adding a venue is as easy as going into your "My Account" page and click on the "Create New Venue" tab. A venue is a location, so if your location can support a variety of events, for example a church that can hosts a number of weddings, you would want to enter your church as a venue! |

| Information Specifically for Sellers? |
|
Does Bonkered.com Charge Transaction Fees? |
|
No. We don't believe in transaction fees. You worked hard for your profits – you should get to keep them. Sellers can sell in our classifieds page and will not be charged a fee.
|
|
|
|
|
How does the PayPal feature work in the Classifieds? |
|
As a seller, you are allowed to use our PayPal feature FREE of charge. The only requirement is that you setup your account properly. You "must" enter your PayPal e-mail address in the field provided in your classified ad. This is what activates the PayPal feature. Once that is done, enter the selling price of the item you're selling, a shipping price, and a tax rate if you charge taxes. You will also be required to enter the # of items you're selling or have available. If you have 25 of the same item, enter 25 in the quantity field. This allows the buyer to purchase multiple like items with the click of a button.
You can include the shipping into your selling price and leave the shipping price at $0.00, or separate the two.
In the Payment Info and the Shipping Info fields, this is a place to enter text, so you can say that you accept PayPal only, or that you accept a number of other payments. In the shipping info block, you can enter how you will ship the item. These are optional fields.
The dollar amounts (where applicable) placed in the selling price field, the shipping amount field and the tax rate field, will automatically calculate the order to the buyer, so once the PayPal buy button is selected, the seller can get paid immediately.
As the seller, it's paramount that your correct PayPal e-mail address is entered in the provided field when you create the ad. If you do not enter an e-mail address in the provided field, the PayPal payment button will NOT display. Your e-mail address is what activates the button. Leave that field blank if you don't want a buyer to buy your item directly from the site. You can still be contacted by e-mail or phone to negotiate a price, shipping and other.
The PayPal feature for sellers is "only" available in the classifieds area. You can not use this feature on the home page / business directory page.

| Selling Collectibles and Sports Cards |
|
Is Selling Sports Cards a Good Idea on Bonkered.com? |
|
YOU BET IT IS. When you consider the costs with popular auction sites, you soon realize how much you spend each month just to re-list items you have. For example, let's say you had a store on eBay with 1000 cards listed, they would charge you $0.20 a month per item, plus the cost of a basic store , which calculates to $215.95 in fees before an item is even sold.
We also know that most sellers are going with the fixed price format because they are losing too much money on the value of their sports cards. A card with a high book value of $30.00 should not sell for $0.99 cents. When you leave an item up for auction, you take that risk.
How we can help is that you can list hundreds of thousands of sports cards and other collectibles for the low price of our unlimited feature subscription package. See pricing for more information. Your fee is just to allow you to sell... that's it... and NO SELLING FEES EVER.
More Reasons Why:
- One time subscription fee per year.
- NO SELLING FEES EVER WHEN AN ITEM SELLS
- No fees for special features like listing FEATURED items
- No fees for using up to 10 images per item
- No fees for including a video or web link to your site
- Sell an UNLIMITED number of collectibles / sports cards
- Use PayPal for a direct payment from the buyer
- Sell in a fix price format without having to haggle
- Get good ratings from buyers and built trust
- FREE best offer feature
- No 7, 10, 14 or 30 day listings. Your ads run for the life of your subscription period.
- and so much more...
