Payments are also collected were the value of an account holders balance reaches £5 Currently we only accept paypal as a form of payment. However other payment options will become available soon. Invertabid allows it's uses to design listings via html. Unfortunately not all users are html savvy, which in turn means many listings are produced in text only which tends to be overlooked when potential customers are scanning though our auctions. As a little aid to our members we have produced a very basic page of code which should be very simple to edit. It has been placed into a Microsoft Word document with all the most important editable areas highlighted in Yellow. Simply download / open the file (which has been virus checked) then edit the file to your liking. Once finished cut and copy it into the listing creator on invertabid (via the sell function) and there you have it. The file can be found here Invertabid Basic Listing Helper |
