The ads you see on the right-hand column of some pages are part of a series of tests that BigTent will be conducting with amazon.com. The products displayed in the ads are matched against specific keywords in order to display a relevant list of products.
We are testing these ads on all our Classifieds pages and on a limited number of Reviews pages (specifically in the Automotive, Books, Electronics, Personal Care, and Shopping categories). In both the Classifieds and Reviews areas, the products displayed in the Amazon ads are matched against category and product titles on the page that you're viewing. For example, if you're visiting BigTent Classifieds and viewing products in the electronics category, the Amazon ad will display items from Amazon's electronics category. Be assured that, per our privacy policy, BigTent will never share personally identifiable information with Amazon or anyone else.
All items displayed in BigTent's Amazon ads are new. If you find otherwise, please email us at ads-feedback@bigtent.com with the name of the product and the price that was displayed. We do not intend these new Amazon products to compete with items you and other group members are trying to sell through your group's classifieds area. From experience, we believe that most products group members try to sell will be used. This means your prices will be lower than the prices for the new products displayed in the Amazon ads, and should sell first.
As part of this test, we encourage all members to submit feedback. We'd like to learn more about whether the display of Amazon products will significantly impact purchase activity, and if it does, we'll work to modify the ads accordingly.

How do I make an offer for an item in the Classifieds?
When you make an offer, only the person who created the listing can see your offer. The person who listed the item will then be able to contact you to follow up. Depending on the contact preference you specified when making your offer, you may receive an email or phone call in response.
Once you make an offer, you cannot retract it online. However, since no transactions are conducted on BigTent, you can still communicate directly with the member who listed the item about your change of heart. You are not "locked in" based on your online offer. However, to be fair to the posting member and other would-be bidders, you should not make offers you are not serious about.
To make an offer on a classified item:
* Click on the item you'd like.
* Scroll to the bottom and choose the radio option "Make an Offer."
* Add an optional comment, indicate the amount, specify your follow up method.
* If desired, choose to be notified by email when updates are made to the listing.
* Click "Post."
If you are not yet ready to make an offer, you can communicate with the seller by posting a public comment/question on the listing. If you want to send a private message, you can contact the seller via TentMail.
To ask a public question or make a public comment:
* Click on the item you'd like.
* Scroll to the bottom and choose the radio option "Add a Public Comment."
* If desired, choose to be notified by email when updates are made to the listing.
* Click "Post Comment."

Where do I go to sell an item or post a Classified listing?

* Find your group's classifieds email address. Go to my groups > [group name] > classifieds and click "View classifieds email address."
* Compose a new email message to this address. The subject line will become the title of your post. Be sure to include the name and description of the item, the listing type (e.g., for sale, for trade, looking to borrow, etc.), and the price (if applicable) in the body of your message.
* Send your message. Your post will appear in your group's Classifieds area in the category "mixed bag."
Extending your classified listing
You can edit any of the information on your listing at a later date. However, once your listing has posted, you can move the expiration date to today or to three or seven days from now. By default, listings are active for 30 days. However, you can select an active time period between two and 60 days when creating your listing.
Categories and Tags
If your listing doesn't match one of the pre-set categories, please choose either the closest type, "mixed bag," or "other." Then include descriptive tags that will make it easier for people to find your listing. Learn more about tags here: What are tags and where can I use them on BigTent?
Managing Offers
If you posted an item, you will be contacted via the preference (email or phone) stated in your listing when someone wants to make an offer or comment or ask a private question.
You may also receive offers, comments, and questions through BigTent. These will all be emailed to you, unless you chose to get responses to your listing in your Blink or on the Web.
