Activation email missing
Possible reasons could be that your email address was entered incorrectly or was not valid or misspelled.
If you are an AOL user please read the following:
As an AOL user, then the chances are that a lot of your Adult related emails never get through to you, due to AOLs Advanced spam filter. This also means that if you have registered with us, you will probably not get your email verification because it gets deleted by AOL before it gets to you.
So how do you stop this?
1. In the SAFETY menu click on SPAM CONTROLS
2. Only the two items below should be ticked:
........................................Allow email from all senders
........................................Delivered to the spam folder
That’s it, you should now receive all emails from us.
MSN, Hotmail, Yahoo, and most other free emails
If you use any of these email providers,before you sign up to Flogshop.com, please check your spam/junk settings, or any filters you have in place that could possibly stop you receiving your verification from us are set to accept mail from admin@flogshop.com

How do I sell something
|

Once you have signed up for an account, you will be able to sell items through the site.
In order to do that, you will have to click on the “Sell” link, and you will be redirected to a page, you can then select the main category of the product or service you want to sell. This feature has been made in order to ease the subcategory choosing process. No items can be sold by choosing only the main category; you will have to choose a subcategory for it.
The second step is entering the advert details, settings, payment methods available, and choosing a category. All images are free of charge.
On the Advert Settings tab, you can choose the type of the advert, the start price, whether to activate buy now or set a reserve price.
You will also be able to choose whether to feature the item, and the duration of the advert.
After setting the location, shipping and payment and subcategory, and by clicking on the “Next Step” button, you will be redirected to Step Three, where you can review the advert before submitting. If everything is in order, you can click on the “Submit” button, and will be redirected to the payment page, or a confirmation page, if no fees have to be paid. The advert is activated instantly. |

When placing your advert you will be asked to upload a photo or photos. Uploading images to your advert is free. Simply click on browse, find the photo you wish to use and we host them for you.

Website Links in Adverts

Website links in adverts
|
|
We do not allow links to external websites in your auctions. (We do however allow links to your Flogshop store and external links in order to provide extra useful information on the item for sale.) We have found, from experience, that some members abused this option and were using this facility simply to drive traffic to their own personal site, thereby reducing the number of buyers for your items.
If we find a direct link in an auction that has no relation to the individual item for sale- we will remove it. If this happens repeatedly, the member runs the risk of suspension.
Flogshop has plenty of opportunity for site progression - please speak to admin regarding advertising options. |

Please contact us after 3 days of your advert finish if your winning buyer hasn’t contacted you, giving us the advert details and number.
We will then contact them on your behalf, warning them that if payment is not received by you within 3 days, then their account could be suspended or even terminated from the site, email and IP blocked.
We feel that a total of 6 days is by far enough time for payment to be made.
We take this very seriously,and will act accordingly.
In order to have your end of advert fees refunded you will need to leave negative feedback for the buyer. And claim your refund no more than 30 days after the end of advert.
If your advert was won by a buyer with previous non-payment negative feedback in the last 6 months, we reserve the right to refund fees. Sellers please state in your auctions that should buyers have negs. In last 6 months then they need to contact you before buying otherwise you will not accept their purchase.
BUYERS PLEASE CHECK WITH THE SELLER THAT YOUR PREFERRED FORM OF PAYMENT IS ACCEPTED BY THE SELLER BEFORE BIDDING – RESULTING NON-PAYMENTS FOR WHATEVER REASON WILL RUN THE RISK OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR YOU.

Negative feedback/reputation
|
|
If you are a buyer and you have an issue with the seller of the item. Please either try and rectify the situation or email us with any problem before leaving negative feedback.
If you are a seller please follow the instructions on non-paying buyers BEFORE leaving negative feedback. Although negative feedback MUST be left before we will refund any advert fees it may be the case that some buyers cannot access the site regularly due to the nature of items for sale and privacy issues. This is why we at admin try to contact the buyer ourselves to help you attain your sale. |
