I tried twice this AM to post my 69 utility body C20 for sale and I failed both times.....Anybody know why? Thanks for any help...

I was about to say you have to be Premium or above, but I see you are. I have no idea unless maybe you've hit the threshold on number of for sale posts for Premium?

**leddzepp** · 08-07-2016, 07:32 PM

Resize your pics, that's usually the problem.

I don't think that's it. I don't sell much....
I really wanted to list it first to members before I go out into the world of E-Bay.
I texted a moderator but no response yet. I'll wait.

I'm lucky just to do what I did. Re-size???That's beyond me. I'll call the kids.

I agree, I have had that happen and once I made the pictures smaller it worked.

I don't know how to do that. Can I just send a couple pictures at the old "size" and be OK? Sorry for my ignorance.

71swb4x4 · 08-07-2016, 07:48 PM

You can email me pictures and I can resize them and send them back.

71swb4x4 · 08-07-2016, 07:50 PM

I PM'd you my email adress. Post here if you email them so I know to check my email.

Elliot949 · 08-07-2016, 08:42 PM

I am not having any issues...

It doesn't work like that. There is no ''device" that stops us from posting too many sale threads. In fact, there is no set number of part we are allowed to sell. The limitation on selling parts as a premium member is only sell your extra parts, no selling for profit. That means parts bought to sell or trucks bought to part out and sell

I never realized that about selling for profit ... Tons of people breaking the rules if that is the case

I mean buying and parting trucks to make dough on.

Thanks, I'll send in the AM.

Andy4639 · 08-08-2016, 03:35 AM

Resizing them is simple.
right click the picture on your computer then open it in paint.

top left of paint it has a resize block just click on it. Where the 100 is make it what ever size you need. You can play with it and as long as you don't save it you can change it around until you get the size you need. Once you get a good size save it. Remember the size for the next time.

**special-K** · 08-08-2016, 09:47 AM

What is the size we need to make it to work? I resized a very special picture my son took (when he was 6) of my rolling along side of my old '71 Custom camper down the interstate with the door frame surrounding the shot. Now when I go to make it bigger it's all fuzzy and as it is it's too tiny. I haven't tried to resize since. I'm really upset about messing that one up

**GR8-68** · 08-08-2016, 09:54 AM

If you want to save the original print use save as rather than just save, save overwrites the original save as makes a new file with the revised but saves the original. I learned this the hard way also

frenchy51 · 08-08-2016, 10:53 AM

I tried to resize my pictures and couldn't figure it out...."computer illiterate" I guess.
S0-I tried to submit add again with just 2 pictures and was successful!
Thank you all for your help, but I'm helpless when it comes to computers.

**special-K** · 08-08-2016, 11:14 AM

With posting by attached files, that's what I always do...upload one at a time till I have all five, then post. BINGO! Craigslist is the same way. thanks for the tip on saving original when resizing. I may get brave and try that one day. I'm far from a computer nerd. More like computer turd
