IMAGE RESIZING
Today's digital cameras are producing larger and larger files. Even when the first digital cameras made their way into the consumers hands they were capable of 1 to 2 mega pixel pictures. The files produced were already quite large when it comes to uploading over the Internet, especially if you are not on a high speed connection. The fact of the matter is though, you do not need such large files for viewing images on your computer. Only if you plan to print do you need images over 1 mega pixel. SoKo classifieds have an upload file size limit to conserve resources on the servers. In order to convert your images to an appropriate file size some type of software is needed. However, there is no need to rush out and buy any commercial software just to be able to convert your images to an upload friendly size. Public licensed free software is available for download at www.gimp.org. This excellent image editing software will not only resize images it will do plenty more. There is a good article about The Gimp Free Image Editor and resizer.
Another simple way to resize your images and picture for easy upload is online. This website supports up to 6 mega pixel file sizes and also supports most popular formats: www.shrinkpictures.com
PAYMENT
If you have not already heard about Paypal then you should probably check it out. It allows for everyday people to accept payments from credit cards and many other sources. It also provides a secure and safe way to make payments over the Internet.
Sometimes you may need to ship items you sell through SoKo free classifieds. Escrow services can provide a safe and secure way to preventing the buyer or the seller from fraud. www.escrow.com is a well known site that provide just such services. There are plenty more and a quick search for escrow services on Google or Bing will find plenty.
