Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My personal feeling about phones aside, I used to routinely ask for seller's phone numbers. I didn't call; but part of verifying that the person was legit used to be making sure the name, address, and phone number all lined up. Doesn't work now - too many people don't have, or don't give, landline numbers.
I've basically been out of the marketplace for 2.5 years...and I'm not looking forward to re-entering it in a few months.

sad thing Herald, like me it was nice to have a confirm.. heck how about a nice personal chat?
today with cell phones, unless you can or do confirm a LAND line.. may not really be a way to confirm. pre paied phones.. Sigh.. caller ID..
I guess put me into the old fart category.. I like to be able to talk with a PERSON if I want as a buyer.. may not always use it.. but like the option..

For the folks concerned about giving out/posting your number:
Look into Google Voice. You get a number to give out/post, but when rings to your existing phone. This also helps you identify a personal vs business call/contact allowing you to answer that call as your business name instead of "Hello" and its FREE!
Google Voice also lets you put "ring" restricions/time. So lets say you don't want phone calls after 10pm - it will send all calls that are dialed to your business number straight to VM but allow those dialing your personal number to come through.
Here is a link I found that explains it much better.
