Remember this is “shareware” that is - we all use the same system allowing the
low costs to participate. So the rules below are very important.
First rule is READ the simple directions at the top and left margins of each
page before making additions or changes: ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN YOU HAVE CHECKED
YOUR ITEM AND BUSINESS NAME TO WORK WITH
Once you have put up a couple items you will find it very easy to do.

much more text looks confusing on the detail page of the item.

Item Title and maybe a line like: Was $100.00 Clearance or ONE ONLY. Play
with this until you find what looks good for you.
