I've just sat for over an hour trying to list my girlfriends car for sale!!

Filled out the text parts then tried to upload pics. When pressing upload the taskbar fills up mega-slow then nothing happens. Have tried twice now!

Bloody infuriating at the minute!! What a balls-up!! furious

Yep, ok.
I'd seen all about the problems but thought they'd sorted them by swapping back to the old format.

Nevermind.

shout MODS,

I'm still having no joy trying to list my car!
I've tried every night this week which gets frustrating, spending half an hour or longer writing an advert out and then having to give up.

Here's what happens/I do :-

  • Click on classifieds then "submit advert"
  • Screen takes ages to load but does eventually.
  • Write text/fill out info fields.
  • Go to add photos.
  • Select images after browsing.
  • Click on upload images.
  • Task bar takes an age to fill then nothing happens.
  • I even try and click submit advert without images but again, slow taskbar then nothing.
Is it me?!!
I've sold loads through P'heads so I can't see how it's me but other people seem to be managing.

Any help would be appreciated.
What would happen if the images were too big?
I only ask as the only difference to the other times I've sold things is the camera I used this time.

Thanks, Mark.

No need to email, I'll pick this up in the morning. What browser are you using?

Hi chaps. Been a busy day, hence not being on here much.

Stuart, thanks for the reply, I'm using Google (old fashioned one not chrome, I think).

Gaz, again thanks, I'll try that tonight.

I'm going to have another go after my dinner tonight. Thanks. smile

OK, just tried again and no joy.

I was hopeful at first as when as entered the page that gives you the choice of "private advert" or "Trade sellers", both options were in blue text. Last night only the "Trade sellers" text was in blue. The "private sellers" text was grey.

Anyway, my excitement built even more when the next page popped up, as it had my previous attempts at listing the car saved, therefore I just clicked on one of them and went to add pictures.
I selected 9 pics from my file then clicked upload.

Then... nothing again. Not even a taskbar filling up, although my cursor was making the "doing something" symbol.

I then closed it after a few mins and went to try doing it by uploading one pic at a time but, when I went into the trade/private seller option page, the private seller option was written in grey again and when clicked, did nothing.

I've tried on Google (original) and Firefox. Neither work.

Stuff it, I've just paid £35 to put it back on Autotrader and I'll stick it on the bay over the weekend.

Very strange though.
