trademe is trash, not only do you pay $100 to list it which was alright but it wont even let me post up more than 2000 charecters which is not nearly enough to describe all thats been done, its a classic.  Any suggestions ?

That is why sellers pile things into the question and answer section automatically when listing things. Its a broken crap marketplace but its all we have.

You’re already on your way to saving a few characters by not using apostrophes in your writing...

 

What about including a tiny url or similar that links to a pdf saved and shared in OneDrive, Dropbox or whatever? Still not ideal as I don’t think TM ‘livens’ links in posts or works with BBCode , but they can still be copied and pasted.

nobody wants to wade through massive amounts of text

 

  • bullet points make it eaiser
  • start with the biggest feature
  • and the answer to the most common questions

 

 

Just saying, the more text...the more annoying questions.

Use one of the photos as a screenshot of your text?

What a great idea - like that. 👍

 

(But I think you mean ‘use a screenshot of your text as one of your photos’.)
