Once the information is added, you will need to click on the CAMERA icon in order to attach a photo of the item you wish to sell. Please include an actual photo of the the item and not a stock product image. Actual images help the buyers determine if they want to purchase the item or not. Posts will only allow one image per post but you can add additional items in the comments section of your For Sale posts once its published.
Once you click the CAMERA icon it will prompt you to choose a photo.
After a photo is added to your listing, click the POST link in order to submit your post.
