Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I delete a listing?

Select "Edit Listing" from the menu at the top of each page. You must first enter the proper authentication information, after which you will be shown a list of all your listings.  Select the "Delete" button that corresponds to the listing you wish to delete.  If the item was sold, check the box marked "Sold" before clicking the "Delete" button.   The item will be marked as sold for a few days and then removed from the server.

How does the system know when my last visit was?

This server makes use of "cookies" to help make your visits to our site easier. Cookies are small packets of information that are stored on your hard drive. When you first visit Privatesale.com a piece of information is sent to your computer containing the date of your last visit.  The next time you return, the server requests this information and uses it to help you search only the listings that have been added since your last visit, saving you the hassle of having to re-read listings! Cookies are also used so that your password is saved on your system. If you ever need to edit or add a new listing on a return visit from the same computer you will be glad to see that your password has been saved for you.

What if two people use the same phone number or same email address and want to post a listing?

One user will have to use an email address with no primary phone number as their primary login and the other their primary phone number but no email address. Alternately, both users can post under the same login, but specify special instructions with the body of their listing.  When this site was created we had the option of allowing users to pick their own username but we determined that since all email addresses are unique on the Internet they would be easier for users to remember on a return visit.

I've forgotten my password.   How can I retrieve it?
