Am i right - no more free ads ?

Is that right?
I recently tried an advert came to £10 so I didn't bother in the end.
If it was a high end car I might have done, but as it a motocross bike I was only advertising here on the off chance. I ended up putting it on a motocross specific forum and ebay. It cost considerably less to advertise this way in the end.
I know pistonheads is a business, but it's a real shame that it costs this much to advertise.
I didn't know about long standing members not paying though?

Sorry, but there's no way you can list a vehicle for less than £10 on eBay. eBay and PayPal fees are so extortionate its beyond belief!! I recently tried an advert came to £10 so I didn't bother in the end.

Sorry - this may have been asked before I have tried searching to no avail. Am I right in thinking that the old system whereby long standing members could advertise in P'heads classified for free has been withdrawn ?
Grandad rights for free ads still apply, though you may need a friendly techy type to re-enable you to do so.El Capitano said:

? Well I did....It was a motocross bike if that makes a difference.
Ah, well it was listed on eBay but not sold via eBay - the buyer came out and paid cash.
Anyway, regardless. My point still stands, if it was the right car then of course I would use PH classifieds. I tend to think of PH cars as being slightly higher standard than what I'd expect to find on eBay etc, so I regularly use the classifieds on here to browse, resulting in 2 cars bought from here, and 1 sold.
I was just saying for something within a small market like a motocross bike,I don't believe PH would get the same amount of exposure as eBay would, therefore I decided against paying £10 to advertise here. Had it have been free I obviously would have done ( although it seems it may have been from what has been said in this thread)

Exactly how long do you have to have been a member for to qualify for free ads?

How recently? Your account has free ad privileges as well. It wouldn't ask you for payment if you tried to list your ad.I recently tried an advert came to £10 so I didn't bother in the end.
