**** Classifieds Guidelines ****
When you are ready to post your ad, please remember to include the following information:
*** Basic Information ***
1) A valid e-mail. This is REQUIRED for posting an Ad on the Corral Forums Classifieds. Failure to provide a valid e-mail is grounds for deleting your ad.
2) The City/State in which you live.
3) A phone number is a good idea. While not required, it will help you with your sale, and it will help keep people honest. For example, a potential buyer will be more comfortable buying from someone whom he/she knows they can contact, vice someone that only exists via an e-mail.
Also, as a reminder, the Corral Forum Classifieds are for the sale of privately-owned parts from individuals, and also for authorized advertisers. Non-authorized businesses who wish to post ads in the Classifieds should contact Chris Ihara ([email protected]) for rate information.

The title "Corral Authorized Advertiser" is displayed below the usernames of all businesses that have Classifieds posting priviledges.
*** Guidelines for Ad Content ***
1) eBay merchandise may be posted in the classifieds with a link to eBay ONLY IF:
-Each piece of merchandise is listed from the auction in the ad
-Each piece of merchandise has a description
-Each piece of merchandise has a price (how much will you take for it)
eBay ads that only have a link to the eBay auction will be locked/deleted.
2) Post ads in the appropriate forums. Ads placed in the inappropriate forum will be moved or re-moved.
3) If you are parting out a car, please at least try to break down a list of parts per forum. What this means is, don't just post "Parting out a '92 LX" in every forum and then have a free-for-all on parts. Try to at least break it down to interior parts available, drivetrain parts, etc. Doing so may cause your thread to be locked.
***Trader Rating***
To use the Trader Rating feature, go to the members profile who you wish to rate. This can be done via a search on their username, or going to a thread the person has posted, and clicking on "profile". Once there, you can select POSITIVE / NEUTRAL / NEGATIVE feedback on the transaction. BEWARE: If you have a scroll mouse, make sure you do not change the Pos/Neu/Neg rating with the scroll mouse to scroll the page before pressing the GO button.

*** Fraud ***
Fraud and internet scammers will not be tolerated. We've made the Trader Rating available to help try and reinforce good transactions and to weed out the bad ones. Unfortunately, sometimes bad things happen.
