help & faq

how do I post?

Click post an ad, choose what kind of posting it is, pick a category, and fill in the form. Your posting goes up right away. Posting is free.

how do I edit or delete my posting?

When you post, you get a private edit link. Bookmark it, print it, or write it down — it is the only way to edit, renew or delete your posting. We also email it to you. Lost it? Get your links emailed again.

how long does a posting last?

45 days. Use your edit link to renew it for another 45 days.

how do buyers contact me?

Buyers click reply on your posting to see your email address (and phone, if you chose to show it). Nothing is sold through this site — you deal with the buyer directly.

what is my data worth?

It depends on the industry, how many years it covers, how complete it is, and whether personal information has been removed. Ask in the pricing forum, look at what similar postings ask, or hire someone under appraisal / valuation.

do I have to remove customer names?

Usually yes. Most buyers want names, contact details, and account numbers removed before delivery, and privacy laws may require it. See redaction / de-identify services and read safety.

what can't I post?

See the terms. In short: nothing you don't own, nothing stolen or hacked, no lists of consumers' personal information, no passwords or account numbers, no medical records that haven't been properly de-identified.

something looks wrong

Use the flag link at the bottom of any posting. Postings flagged by several people are hidden until reviewed.
