Posting an ad

While the Trading Post ads are available for anyone to shop, only Clay Electric members can submit an ad, and members must comply with some basic guidelines.

Online Trading Post Guidelines: The Online Trading Post is a classified section for items for sale or for rent. Only ads of a non-commercial nature should be submitted. Ads remain on the site for 60 days, after which time they are automatically deleted. Item names are limited to 25 characters. Please do not use ALL CAPS when posting an ad, as this may casue a delay in your ad appearing on the site. The co-op reserves the right to edit lengthy item names, edit ads or decline posting. It may take 24 to 48 hours for your ad to appear on the site. Ads that are submitted to the online Trading Post are not automatically included in the Kilowatt Trading Post.

SCAM ALERT - Some members who have placed ads with their email addresses on the online Trading Post have been contacted by individuals who are attempting a scam. The scammer will contact the seller using an email address, and an offer is made to buy the item (vehicle, boat, etc.). However, the buyer (scammer) wants the seller to ship the item to a designated location, perhaps overseas. The scammer will ask for a mailing address so they can send the seller a sizable cashier's or bank check to cover the cost of shipping, plus extra to pay a debt to the shipper. We encourage you to be alert to these types of scam offers and to avoid any further contact with the scammers.
