Managing Listings, Sending Messages & Creating Favourites
The Your Account section houses everything you need to manage and enjoy your FairSale experience. That includes the Listings and Settings sections that are also linked from the homepage as described above. In addition to those, you also get:
- Favourites – Click on the heart shaped image on any image to mark it as a Favourite. Doing so will mean it’s automatically added to your personal My Favourites section, from which you can see all those items you want to keep an eye on. It’s great for tracking products you’re interested in buying. If you’re a seller, it can also help you do a bit of market research by tracking similar items to your own.
- Messages – Think of this as your FairSale Communication Centre. You should always keep an eye on your messages, especially if you have a live listing. Other FairSalers will contact you via the site with queries that could make or break a deal. Quick responses bring better results!
