[Q] - I have a coupon voucher, can I also add extra options such as a colored background?

Most coupon vouchers have a value of $10 which offsets the cost for posting a standard 3 month photo ad. You can add extra options as long as the total amount of the extra options meets our minimal billing amount of $10.

On the page where you fill in the info to create and post an ad, there will also be extra options you may select. Near the bottom of the page there will be a field to enter your coupon code which will deduct the value of the coupon from your total.

Note: Multiple coupons can not be applied to an individual ad.

Coupon vouchers are usually obtained by becoming a premium member of our Hitching-Post.net Social Club. More info can be found by visiting the site's "Prices" link (located at the footer of the main page).

[Q] - How long does it take for my ad to appear?

Usually within 12 to 48 hours after submitting your ad and payment is received if you chose paid options.

All ads are manually reviewed and processed so it can take some time as we get our fair share of spammers and cads trying to submit their junk that we must also weed through. Ads that appear to be blatant spam or contain totally inappropriate or irrelevant content that have no place in our classifieds, will be rejected! In cases where it's a paid ad and/or there's minor oversights in permissible content we will attempt to contact the submitter to make the required changes before it will be allowed to enter the listings. In cases of choosing a wrong or inappropriate category, the admin may list your ad in the category which they deem as being the most appropriate.

If your ad was mistakenly or unfairly flagged as being spam or containing inappropriate content, we apologize and will consider reviewing your ad again. Also understand that our classifieds are primarily targeted towards the Equestrian and Farm and Ranch communities and even though you may have a legit business or product it may be deemed inappropriate content. We are only interested in quality content that would be beneficial and of interest to the members of the community.

If you have any concerns if the content of your ad is permissible, please read our Terms of Service before submitting ads to make sure you understand the rules and guidelines.

This usually happens after you have processed your ad and then tried to go back and got a message that the page has expired and asked if you wanted to retry loading the page and you clicked the retry button, this action will actually run the process again. In any event, simply click the cancel link next to the duplicate ads and they will be deleted and the amount owing will be adjusted accordingly.

[Q] - Why can't I login into the classifieds with my social club username and password?

The Hitching-Post.net social club and the classifieds are totally separate entities (technically two different websites) and therefore you must register for each one individually. Your username and password for the social club won't automatically work for the classifieds. You can try registering for both using the same username and password and it will be accepted as long as they are still available and haven't already been taken by another user.
