Enter the manufacturer (mfg.), brand or product line of the item, Universal Product Code (UPC) and/or International Standard Book Number (ISBN) optionally. This helps the interested buyers in searching and identifying products they are looking for and helps you to attract more customers. |

Each picture can be up to 500 KB in file size and should be in one of the following file formats: JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg file extension), GIF (.gif file extension), PNG (.png file extension) or BMP (.bmp file extension). We encourage adding pictures. Pictures help interested buyers in getting a better idea of your item. |
| For Exchange offers and Fixed Price Sale / Will consider offers, you can optionally specify what you 'Prefer in Exchange'. We recommend that you specify this because it helps attract interested buyers who can offer something in exchange that you are looking for. |
