We need your input! Should TOTV make it mandatory to put a picture in the classifieds in order for the item to go live? Please vote in our poll.

vote app doesn't work!!!

But yes, it is a waste of time looking w/o a pic

[redwitch]

Tried to vote but no luck. While a picture makes things easier, not everyone can post a picture. Not always that easy.

Should TOTV decide to make posting a picture of the item for sale a new rule/regulation - what assistance does TOTV intend to offer those who do not have what is necessary to post a picture?

While I agree that a picture makes it easier for a prospective purchaser, it appears that despite the video tutorial, there are some who still can't upload a picture. Besides, anyone posting without a pic is just diminishing their prospects of a sale. What I feel SHOULD be mandatory is the price!

I am not sure every item for sale needs a picture. What about tickets to a show or a trip or things like that? Making a picture mandatory for some things will bring up some weird results.

Pictures will not down load. That's why your not seeing pictures with the ad's

[Naomitwo]

Yes, the ones without pictures just take up space!!

[PaulDenise]

Folks do not have to look at ads without pictures if they don't want to look.

Alot of older people have trouble with the upload technology.

Photos are a nice feature, but not necessary. Newspaper classifieds worked well for many years without photos.

I think it is almost silly to NOT post a picture. The odds of selling something to someone that they cannot see online first is very low.

Actually I think you should also have a vote on people HAVING to put a price and a contact with each listing. (they do not respond to that 'send the seller a message' thing). Twice this week I have responding to people asking them to contact me and I listed my phone and email (they had no phone or email listed with their posting) as I was interested in their items..........and neither one bothered to contact me. They are trying to sell something, for gosh sakes...........why are they SO afraid to list a phone or email. The least they can do is respond and let you know if the item has sold.

Itreally depends on what is being sold. It should be obvious which items require apicture and which don't.

[Fraugoofy]

Yes but your mobile app doesn't allow people to upload photos.

[TOTV Team]

We don't have a mobile app.
