How do I post my ads?
To post your ad(s), simply click the "Add a Classified" under Member Options on the left menu. You will be asked to select the most appropriate category for the product/service you wish to sell. We have provided a wide variety of categories for proper ad placement so please select the best match for your product/service.

You will then be taken to a page where you provide the details about your product/service:
Classified Name - Title for your product/service. Please limit to 100 characters
City/State/Country - This is for our records. The information will not be displayed.
Ad Duration - You can select the number of days you want the ad to run, up to 90 days. Ads may be extended for an unlimited amount of time beyond 90 days for a small fee.
Classified Description - You can use the WYSIWYG editor to provide the details about your product/service. You can include in-line graphics or images within the editor to enhance the appearance of your ads. In fact, if you already have a good splash page, you can simply cut-and-paste that into the editor. It will pick up all your fonts as well as any graphics.
Website - provide the full URL to your website. This will be displayed as a link in your product description. (http://www.yoursite.com)
Premium Features - You may select the premium (fee based) features of your choice if you desire. Please note, you must have deposited enough funds in your account to cover the premium features you select.
Hit Counter - You may include a "hit counter" on your page to track visits. The counter is free.
Buy Now Option - If you wish to allow people to purchase your product/service directly from the imadspace.com website, you may include a Paypal "Buy Now" button for a small fee. It is your responsibility to set up the Paypal side of the transaction, and to deliver the product.

If you have selected the "Gallery Featured Ad" you must upload at least one image or photo. To make sure your images aren't distorted when converted to thumbnails, we recommend using a relatively square image such as 200x200, 300x300, etc. The maximum size for an image is 80k. You may also upload an image, free of charge, to be placed to the left of your text ad.

What is a "Buy Now" button?
The "Buy Now" button allows your potential customers to purchase your product directly from out ad site (rather than going to your own website). Simply provide the item price and your Paypal ID (email address) and the button will be set up for you. You are responsible for setting up product delivery for the item.

What is a "Store" and should I have one?
If you have posted ads for more than just 1 or 2 items, you can create a "Store" that will display all your products/services on a single page. If a potential customer is interested in one of your products, they may be interested in others that you offer. By having a "Store", a potential customer can simply click "Seller Store" in the product listing for any of them and be taken to a page that lists all your products. Setting up a seller Store is free, and a great way to let potential customers know what you have to offer.

What is a "Premium Store"
Premium stores allow you to upload an image or photo which will be displayed in rotation with other premium stores in the left-side menu area of every page on the site. Visitors to imadspace.com can quickly see all the products you sell by clicking on your store icon.

Premium stores are free to any imadspace.com members who have deposited a cumulative amount of $40 or more in their ad accounts (for other premium features).

If you have reached that threshold and would like a premium store just send us an email to admin@imadspace.com to request one. You will or course, have to set up the store and upload an image first. Once that is done, we will set the store up for you within 24-48 hours.
