The easiest way is to create your advert online as normal. During step three, you have tick box options to list your advert in the next issue of Farmers Guide and our sister magazine, Fruit & Vine. Select these boxes and your advert will automatically be pulled through to our magazine team, to feature in the next available issue of either or both magazines.
On step two of three when creating a listing, you can select one or multiple photos to include with your advert.
The maximum file size for a photo on farmads.co.uk is 8MB. Once chosen, the first photo shown as a preview will appear in the magazine advert if you choose to list your advert in the magazine.
In your account dashboard, select “my adverts” on the left-hand navigation or “view my adverts” on the right-hand side under statistics to take you to this page.
Each of your adverts has an “options” button on the right-hand side, which you have a number of options to choose from, one of those being “edit”, which reopens the advert creation form with your advert details included.
Resubmit the form with your alterations to send your changes live to the website.
It is important to remain vigilant to potential online scammers; the safest way is to call the other party and have a proper conversation about the item. In our experience, this method deters the majority of scammers.
We would recommend meeting the seller in-person if you can and continue using calls to speak until the item has arrived and you are satisfied with your purchase.
We advise that no money exchange hands until the buyer has either:
a) Viewed the item in-person
b) Received a short video of a walk-around the item
c) Received further images of the item.
If you are offered an over-payment and then asked to return money, it is a SCAM.
If the person insists they can only continue negotiations through email for whatever reason or insists on sending you a cheque or bank transfer without much interest in inspecting the goods, it is very likely they could be a fraud.
Let us know here about any suspicious enquiries you receive.
A featured advert places your listing at the very top of the advert category, as well as placing the advert on our homepage featured list.
Your advert views increase on average by 300% and reaches a far higher audience than a regular advert.
On each advert you place, choose the “featured” option on step three of the advert creation form.
For adverts already created, you can select the “options” button on the right-hand side and choose the “upgrade to featured” option.
