How Do I List My Boat?
 
You can list your Boat by navigating to the category where you want your boat listed, and then choosing the Post an Ad link.  

Note: Not all categories allow items to be listed directly within them.  Only those categories that allow listings to be added have an Post an Ad link. 

Once you choose the correct category for your boat,  simply follow all the onscreen instructions to add your boat.  All options that have an associated charge will note that charge when you choose it. Use the Help links if you are confused by any options.  

Once you have entered all the information about your Boat,  you will be presented with a preview screen where you can review all of the information you have entered and options you have chosen. Use the Back button to go back and make any necessary changes.  Do not press the Finish button until you are absolutely sure that all of the information is correct.  You will not be able to change or edit any information once you press the Finish button, and your account will immediately be charged  with any applicable charges.

Once you press the Finish button your ad will be listed immediately and you will be presented with a link to where you can view your ad, and a receipt for what you have been charged for adding the ad.  It is highly recommended that you print out this receipt as a record of your transaction.

How do I manage my ads?
 
There are two ways that you can manage your ads. First, in the navigation toolbar along the left hand side of the screen, you will see a link "My Ads" This will take you to a screen displaying all of your current ads. From there you may select on an ad to edit. The second way of doing this is to visit the "My Account" screen. Scroll down the screen and you will see under "Classified Options" a link for "Manage Your Ads". Along with that link are other useful Boating Classifieds links. Both methods will require you to log in.
How do I Purchase?
 

Once you have an active account,  you are ready to start purchaseing.  Simply navigate to the ad you are interested in via the category listings or using the search features.

Note the type of advertisement you are interested in.  There are several different style ads that are available through the Boating Classifieds.

It is highly recommended that you read over all sale, payment and shipping terms and conditions before you contact the seller.  If you find that you are truly interested in the product, fill out the contact form below to reach the seller. From there you will be able to complete your sale via the communication method of your choice

What is a Memorized Ad?

Beware of Fraudulent Online Activity
     
SELLER SCAMS  
Although we strive to verify the identity of everyone who advertises on our site, fraudulent sellers may some times appear. Fraud sellers hope to lure you into doing business with them.
     
To avoid Seller scams, pay attention to the following clues:






  • Seller asks you to send a deposit or payment via Western Union or other wire transfer methods.
  • A price that is too low or too good to be true.
  • A seller's phone number is out of service or rings to a fax machine.
  • A seller's address is not verifiable.
  • Beware of international sellers.
  • A seller offers free shipping
  • A seller doesn't want to discuss over the phone, but only wants to communicate by e-mail.
  • A seller insists you use an escrow service you don't know.
  • A seller is unwilling to show you proof of ownership (title, VIN number, registration)
  • A seller who cannot provide you unique identification of the vehicle (non-ad photos, photos of actual VIN number on frame, etc.)
     
 
THE LATEST SELLER FRAUD
A recent escrow.com spoof site has been created. Sellers may try to persuade buyers into handling transactions through this site using a wire transfer. The difference is the account used is to "secure and verify" the funds. The fraudulent seller emails are sent from "transactions@escrow.com" to upload a virus onto your pc. From there the virus transfers you to the escow.com spoof site.
     
     
BUYER SCAMS  
Fraudsters sometimes pose as buyers interested in your vessel for sale. They may try to pass you bad checks or overpay you and ask you to refund the difference. Here is the most important point:
     
Most fraud buyers use counterfeit cashier’s checks and the bank has 30 days to verify the check.
 
 
Do not assume that because the bank has cashed the check for you, it is a legitimate check. After the bank has paid you the money, the bank has 30 days to determine if the check is valid or not. The bank will come after you if they discover the check/money order is counterfeit. You will be expected to pay the funds back to the bank.
     

 


**** Important ****
Never Buy a Boat Sight Unseen. ALWAYS go and Inspect the boat. And if you need help with the inspection hire a Professional Marine Surveyor to perform a Survey Inspection.
Beware of Fraudulent Online Activity

We DO NOT offer "Buyer Protection" or Seller Certification"
