Help Using Cruisin' For Deals Classifieds
Cruisin' For Deals Classifieds have been set up as a tool to allow Manitobans
such as yourself an easy-to-use medium to safely buy and sell your used items.
These ads are shown locally on cruisinfordeals.ca, as well, they are distributed
to a network of ManitobaX Classified Sites throughout the province. It's easy,
post your ad and we do all the rest! Below is a brief explanation of how to use
the various site features.
Posting an Ad
To post a free ad, click on the "post an ad" link above. You will be taken to a
page where you will then have to select the category that most closely matches
the item you are selling. Once you have selected a category, you will be asked
to provide basic information for your ad such as a title, description and price.
You may optionally ad photos as a way to draw extra attention (highly
recommended). Please be sure to indicate your community as well so that others
close to you can find your item.
Once you have submitted your ad, you will be sent a confirmation link by e-mail
in a matter of minutes. Once you receive this e-mail, click on the link provided
to confirm your ad. After a quick review by a ManitobaX staff member, your ad
will be made viewable province-wide for 31 days. Should your item not sell after
31 days, you are invited to re-submit until it is sold.
How Much Does it Cost?
Selling using this service is 100% free. The only exception being
business-related ads in the "services" category and homes for sale, which
require a modest payment by Paypal/Credit card. This is to ensure that these
classifieds stay as a tool for the average Manitoban, all the while giving
serious businesses the opportunity to promote to our ever-growing user base.
Browsing Ads
Browsing the many items for sale on this site is simple. Just pick a category
and scroll through the available items. You can either view ads by using the
main category or you can click on any of the sub-categories to view those
specific ads.
Safe Practices
Things to keep in mind when buying and selling on the Classifieds:
Cruisin' for Deals and the ManitobaX classifieds network is growing daily. Many
items have exchanged hands thanks to the great local buyers and sellers that
make this a regular stop during their weeks. With that said, please keep the
following in mind when using this site or any other online classifieds:
1)
We strongly advise you to meet the person you are buying from or selling to in
person prior to exchanging funds. There are numerous scams on the internet where
less than honourable people try to take advantage of both sides of the equation.
2)
We also strongly advising only buying from Manitobans on this site. As the
classifieds are considered local, it should be seen as an instant red flag if
someone from out of province has slipped through the cracks and is attempting to
sell an item or trying to make a purchase. We try our best to screen all ads to
ensure localness but unfortunately cannot make any guarantees.
3)
Regarding product or service quality, as is the case when buying any used items
we highly recommend thoroughly verifying the quality of your purchase prior to
exchanging money. Cruisin' for Deals or it's affiliates assume no responsibility for
any products or services exchanged.
