    I totally agree with the first "I'll Take It" rule. I ran into complication selling some ham gear once where I was answering an "I'll take it pending the answer" first person when a second person "took it" before I could finish my reply to the first person. Everyone understanding that the first published, "I'll take it." wins eliminates a lot of refereeing.

    So I now understand the person who said, "No PM counter offers" was stating personal preference, not "rules".
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    It would be nice if there was a "actual photo required at the time of listing" rule. Seems like there are a lot of postings stating, "I'll try and take photos in a few days" or a week.... or no notation at all and folks having to request photos. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see the actual condition of any used item before considering a purchase (especially on bigger ticket items) and seems to make more sense for a person to be fully prepared to sell an item before posting. "Like new" or other such can be subjective.

    Just a thought.

    Good question came in my PM today that I will add to the Q&A

    Q: Per PM conversation the purchaser made me an offer I would like to accept. Do I lower the price or how do I handle the I'll take it?

    A: Just have the purchaser post "I'll take it per PM conversation". That way the seller has met their I'll take it obligation and no one needs to know exactly what the offer was.

    I attempted to upload photos of a backpack I want to see but nothing happens when I click upload. I tried the photos test gallery and this time received a, "...admin will approve..." msg before the photo will be shown.

    Are there restrictions or approval of photos prior to them being seen in the For Sale forum?

    Gene,

    You have a few steps to complete before you can post in the FS area. Please read these links and it should help. It appears your issue is not a photo issue but rather you have to join the Sellers group before you can post.

    Check out these links:
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/content.php/159 - Tells you the rules
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...or-sale-thread - Tells you how to join the group and manage your thread
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ns-and-Answers - Q&A to help answer questions that you might have
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...Hammock-Forums - Tips and Hints to help you sell.

    I suspect things in FS have changed a lot since you used to sell/buy here. Hope the information above can help you. For specifics on photo uploads

    Yep, I'm in the Sellers Group as far as I can tell 'cause I have the option to leave the group. I set the prefix, added a title, entered some text, and tried to upload - nothing. No error, just...nothing. I copied the photo from the original folder just in case it's a permission issue on my Win 10 box, changed the phone to size so it's only 83 KB.

    Next I tried uploading to the Photo Gallery test area, just to, well, test. Right? :-) I get the message, "Your file(s) have been successfully uploaded and will appear as soon as a moderator has had time to review and approve them.

    And that's all she wrote...

    Hate to just add useless posts - but want to thank Deb for helping me resolve the problem. Had to use IE instead of Chrome for some reason. Thanks for the really quick responses!!!
