Simply click on the service you want to use and login, the system will place a link to the sale on your page. If you have another service you like to use, click the "+More..." link. There are over 200 social media services available.

Email Tip: The email service allows you to send a link of the selected ad to whoever you want. You can open your address book directly from the application if you have an account with Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo, making it easy to notify a lot of people about the sale. If you don't use one of those email services but would still like to send an email to people on your address list, simply send the email to your personal account and then forward it on from there, thereby giving you access to your address book.
