4. Now under Product/Services (at the top of this page) Click Change
5. Now simply select the Upgrade plan you wish to upgrade your account into

All accounts except the FREE type require payment to process the upgrade. We use PayPal for payment which does NOT require you to have a paypal account to pay for the service by any means.

In addition we DO have some Discount Coupons you can apply at checkout time if they apply to you - Ask us BEFORE check out time if they apply to you and we will send you the coupon code to use.

Basically we operate many various Membership Services and sites. Members of one of those other membership sites generally will qualify for a Discount on  the other services we offer (including this service here)...

Simple. All orders have to be Manually APPROVED or Denied in order to display at our classifieds service. This at least HELPS to ensure some level of integrity for our listings for all our sites viewers/and ad placers benefits alike.

Certainly SOME ads will Fall Through the cracks with some ridiculous offers or Totally Bogus content. In such cases CONTACT US and tell us about those and we will certainly look into the content as added !!!

Why does my Ad show up as a New Listing but fails to display in the Category Heading I entered it within?

Once again, when we MUST HAND Approve a listing. It takes about an hour for it to display fully AFTER we have approved it to display. 

If you edit your ad every hour or so, it may NEVER DISPLAY at all..

You can pay an invoice by first logging into your account.

Click the "Invoices" link on the left menu after logging in.

Click the "Pay Now" link next to the invoice you wish to pay.

Yep, getting paid is important when you are selling products/services. PayPal is probably one of the Best ways of getting paid for something you are offering. To Get paid using Paypal you first well - Need to have a PayPal account. Others who are Paying you do NOT need a Paypal account to send you money however.

You can NOT add PayPal buttons at this site as they use Java script which is not allowed here. What you CAN do however is indicate to others to use the Pay Pal send money page which allows anyone with an email address to send money to you for what you are selling.

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_send-money-transfer&send_method=domestic&nav=0.2.0

Then all you need do is tell your buyer WHAT your PayPal Email account is they have on file for your account when you created your Paypal account and the Total for what it is you are selling.

Today, ANYONE can forge a Money order, or Check. When taking payments for your products unless you KNOW the person buying them, insist on a Postal Money order because they will know immediately if the money order is valid when you go to redeem it, OR insist on the buyer using PayPal to send you your money.

With this in mind the BEST way to proceed is simple
 

1. Know the price of your item including Tax/Shipping/etc and list it on your listing easy to find
2. Indicate to your visitors that to Buy The item they have to Contact you via Email with their name/address/phone/or whatever other information you need to fulfill their order
3. Now that you HAVE their response in your email, Send them the Paypal link above and instruct them to use whatever your paypal email address is when they fill the form out at PayPal.

This method is actually a MUST DO for one of a kind items as you can only sell them ONE TIME and this method will help get rid of chargebacks for NOT fulfilling the order (as you may have already sold it)..

IF you do decide to take Checks, keep the item until the check has cleared your bank and make sure you TELL the customer you can not ship the item until it has (around 3 weeks)..

Simple. Use the Zip code finder which allows you to FIND zip codes for any US City quickly. Also gives you the County the city is located in and more information as well.

Using Zip codes for an area is more efficient and generally will return better results! WHY? well, many times people spell a city name WRONG IE Is it St Augustine OR Saint Augustine (Example). Also many will spell the State Name wrong (or use an improper state abbreviation)...

Use the Zip Code Finder tool to help with these issues at Zip Code Finder (loads into a new window).

Fecn News is an online news and information service. Our tagline is simple and true 'The news as created by those it matters the most to - YOU'. When people get online to post something it is not about who died, who got arrested, or what car crashes happened last night.

Those types of things are best left for your local News Papers, and your Facebook account as they are meant for more Local types of news and local stories of interest.

Generally most people who have a need to post something on the web will wish to post content as it relates to THEIR needs, and THEIR interests I am sure you will all agree. That is what we offer our various sites members. The Services you need, the ease of use you expect.

More useful informative web portals FECN News also owns and manages  

• Hastings Florida news classifieds forums
• Palatka Florida community news
• Palm Coast Florida community news
• St Augustine Florida community news
• My Discount coupons and savings network
• Florida webmasters portal
• Free Jacksonville Florida classifieds
• Easy Online Classifieds

So that ANYONE can use it!

Basic is also good in the search engines such as Google as they LIKE basic much more so than fancy Java menus, or FLASH type menus (Flash menus are just plain dumb for webmasters to use).
 

• When YOU add your listing here YOU want it to be easy to find correct?
• You Want Google and others to index it well correct?
• You Want it to work well and look pretty much the same in Any Web browser correct?

Besides one of the Ranking factors is - Page loading times in the search engines. By going with what works, works well without all the fancy dancy New fangled menus and such (which are always terribly coded to begin with) OUR site is Code Compliant, and just plain WORKS in any browser.

In addition Proper CODING at this service also makes our Mobile version function well and load very fast on almost any cell phone or tablet.

There you have the answer...
