ADDING PHOTOS and VIDEOS


Q. I cannot upload my photos because they're too big. Help!
A. Photos should be 5MB or less and JPG or TIF files. Please email them to us, and we will resize and upload them for you.


Q. How do I get my video link up?
A. Create an account with YouTube or another video service and upload your video there. Go to the YouTube page with your video on it, and find where it says, "Embed." In the text box next to this, copy all the coding into the video link boxes on your ad.


MY ADS - PRICE DISPLAY, SOLD/LEASED, and PAUSE


Q. Every time I try to save my ad, I get an error saying I need to enter a price. Why is it not working?
A. All ads require a price entered, even if you "hide" it by selecting "Inquire". Please enter a price and your ad will properly save.


Q. What "Price Display Method" should I use?
A. You have the following options in the Price Display Method box:

  1. Show Actual Price: your horse's price will be shown exactly as entered in the price field.
  2. Inquire for Price: the price of your horse will not be shown anywhere on the website.
  3. Price range: The exact price of your horse will not be shown anywhere on the website. Our system will automatically assign your horse into one of our pre-determined price ranges. For example, if you list a horse for $55,000, it will display in the '40-59k' price range.


Q. How do I list my price in another currency besides US Dollars?
A. All prices on the website are in US Dollars. Please convert your price to USD before listing it on your ad.

 

Q. Can you explain the difference between "Ad Views" and "Search Hits" for my listing?
A. Ad views are how many people visited the individual listing page and search hits are how many times people searched and your listing was displayed in the search results.



Q. My horse was sold or leased, what now?
A. Mark it as sold or leased. Sign in to your user account and click on "My Ads." Find the ad you would like to mark as sold, and click "Mark Sold" or "Mark Leased." Your user information will be removed from the ad and you will not be contacted any longer, but the ad will still be visible under the "Sold" page. To delete the ad, sign in to your account and click 'delete ad' for the ad(s) you would like removed. We do not store deleted ads. It is permanently removed from our database.

 

Q. My horse in injured, can I pause my ad for a few months?
A. Yes, please contact us and we can pause the ad for you.
