Coupons & Discounts

Coupons can be sent to customers and then used to reduce the price of their listing. They will enter the Coupon Code in the “Coupon Code” field during checkout. Discounts are applied to all ad packages and do not require a coupon code. Discounts are available to everyone during checkout whenever they are available. To view your list of coupons and discounts, click the “Coupons & Discounts” link. A page appears with your coupons and discounts listed.
