backpage personals Classified Posting Site- What Is It? A free classified posting site is a classifieds site offering members to post classifieds in various categories at no cost to locate people to buy from, sell to, and negotiate exchange of goods and services. Unlike any other commercial online advertising sites, a free classified posting site is only a venue, hence, it does not own or handle any of the goods and services listed on the site. As a result, the site cannot verify or endorse the quality, safety, or legality of the items listed, or the truth or accuracy of the classified ad. Free Classified Posting Site- How To Avail Its Services? In order to place an item(s) and service(s) on free classified posting site, you must become a member. The member registration process requires that you provide your full name, street address, email address, and other identifying information. By completing the sign-up process in the free classified posting site and clicking on the button indicating that you have read the member agreement, you agree to the terms of the website. Free Classified Posting Site- How To Select The Best Site? As free classified posting sites have become a by-word for online advertisers, there is a proliferation of these kinds of sites in the internet. Responsibility now hinges on your part to select the free classified posting site to which you entrust your online ad. Below are 9 ways to consider in selecting a quality free classified posting site 1- Information. The site should have clear terms in handling the information which you provide to them or other members during the registration, or posting process, in any public message area or through any email feature, including all text descriptions and/or photographs, digital images, or renderings of your items and services. 2- Classified Ad Placement System. The free classified posting site should require you to agree that you will not use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of their site or any transaction being conducted on such site. Further, you should be asked that you may not disclose or share your Password to any third parties or use your Password for any unauthorized purpose. 3- General Legal Terms. The classifieds site should clearly state that their service is provided "as is" and without any warranty or condition, express or implied. Further, the terms on suspension/termination, limit of liability, general compliance with laws, no agency, notices, arbitration, and the general laws covering the agreement should be clearly spelled out. 4- Maintenance & Downtime. The free classified posting site should clearly emphasize that from time to time they will conduct scheduled maintenance which may result to temporary downtime that may prevent you from being able to use the site and/or some of their services with an assurance that they will do their best to keep these periods brief, providing advance notice whenever possible. 5- Privacy Policy. The site should guarantee that the Personally Identifiable Information you provide when you sign up will not be sold or given to outside sources without your permission. 6- Descriptions & Photos. The classifieds site, in an effort to facilitate a trusting buying and selling community, should provide you with the option to submit pictures and/or a description of your item or service. 7- Use of Cookies. The site should guarantee that they use cookies to provide you access to protected pages without requesting a login each time. 8- Security. The site should have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under their control. 9- Access to your personal information. The classifieds site should guarantee that their priority is to keep your personal information private and confidential and they will not willfully rent, or sell your personal information to third parties except by your consent and in compliance to lawful criminal investigation, subpoena, court order or legal process. Developing free classified posting sites had been my son's favorite past-time and in so doing, he always made sure that the 9 self-imposed guidelines for quality classifieds site were always being adhered to.
