The Account URL will be your personalized website address for your Gallery of listings that will be created on Sawitonline.com. You can distribute your unique address to your potential clients so that they can access all of your listings directly. For example, if you wanted to create the URL "LindaRealEstate.sawitonline.com" you would enter "LindaRealEstate" in the field for your requested account URL. Please do not enter any spaces or special characters in this field, only alphanumeric values. Do not confuse this with your own personal website address. You will have a chance to create links to your personal website address once you have created your account. How do I edit my listing? From your Listing Control Panel, click on the EDIT button next to the listing you wish to edit. Where can I obtain detailed instructions on how to post on Craigslist? Right Here! I receive an error when trying to post my listing on Craigslist stating that my content is too large, What do I do? Craigslist has a 30,000 character limit on the content of listings. With the combination of our html code and your description, there is a slight chance that the overall html code may exceed 30,000 characters. In these instances, the solution would be to reduce the content of your description.

What's the difference between "Draft" and "Published" modes? You can save your Sawitonline listing in draft mode if it's incomplete or if you want to stage it. Once it's ready to go live, simply publish it from your Listing Control Panel. Keep in mind that only listings in the "Published" state are syndicated to partner sites. How do I upload my photos? After you've entered all your listing information, you'll have an opportunity to upload photos Just browse for the files on your PC and click the upload button once you're finished. How many photos can I upload? Depending on your package, you may upload either 10 or 25 photos. You can upload 5 photos at a time. After you upload the first 5, you'll have an opportunity in a subsequent step to upload more photos. Do the photos need to be a certain format and size? We only accept files saved in jpg format.

Our syndication partners will generally index your listing within 24 hours. Note that Trulia can take up to 72 hours. Note: If you have incomplete or inaccurate information (e.g. you don't include the property address), your listing may not be processed by our syndication partners. How can I locate my listing on your partner sites? Since we don't have control over our partner sites, we cannot confirm that every listing was indexed. It can sometimes be difficult to locate your listings, but the best way is to to search for unique identifiers (part of the listing subtitle, name, address, etc.) on the respective third party sites. Due to the volume of listings that are processed daily and then independently reviewed from partner sites, we are unable to accept requests to verify individual listing submission. If I sign up for a 10 listing package, and my listings expire or are deleted, do I still have the ability to create up to 10 listings? Yes. Whether you delete your listings or they expire, you will always have the capacity to create up to your subscription limit. This month you may create 10 real estate listings, next month you can change these to 10 vehicle listings. We don't care how you use them, but please use them. All! What happens when my listing expires? When your listing expires, you will receive an email notification. You can then login to your account and either re-publish, update, delete or leave the listing in the expired state. Will my Sawitonline listing be automatically submitted to Craigslist, eBay or LiveDeal? No. Craigslist prohibits automatic submission or "posting agents" to post on behalf of others. You will need to manually create a Craigslist post and copy/paste the provided HTML code into the description box. The same is true for and other sites where you have manually created your listing. I am trying to obtain the HTML code, but nothing happens when I click on the Craigslist, eBay or other HTML code tabs. The html codes are only available IF your listing is in the PUBLISHED state. Be sure to publish your listings before you attempt to generate the html code. If I modify or renew my listing, will the changes be automatically reflected on Craigslist? No. You have to retrieve the modified HTML code and re-enter it into your existing Craigslist post. You will need to locate the activation email from Craigslist to modify your post. Why does my Sawitonline listing appear different on Craigslist? Due to the restrictions on the code and content permitted on Craigslist, the HTML version will display a bit differently. The most notable difference is concerning links. Third party links violate Craigslist's terms of use, therefore links are not present on Craigslist listings. What do I need to know about Craigslist terms of use? If you use Sawitonline to post on Craigslist, you must read and abide by the Craigslist terms of use. Listings that do not conform with Craigslist's Terms of Use are generally flagged and promptly removed from their servers. How do I cancel my account on Sawitonline?
