The SCHSB has installed a new Classifieds section to the website. We hope it will be useful for our members and for site visitors looking for sheep. This effort has taken some time because the SCHSB Board of Directors insisted that the plugin be safe, secure, search engine optimized, and simple to monitor. Previous versions left the website vulnerable and required more intensive work to keep it active and up to date.

Cost of Classifieds

There are two types of ad placements: standard or premium. Standard classifieds are active for 45 days and cost $5. Premium classifieds are active for 60 days, featured at the top of the list to grab attention, and cost $10.

How to Create a Classifieds Account

Before you can list your ad, you need to create a classifieds account.

• Fill out the form completely, then click Register.
• You will see a message on the webpage that says “Your account is being moderated, once it is approved we will notify you via email.”
• An email will arrive in your inbox within a few minutes. You must click a link to verify your email. If you don’t see the email, be sure to check your spam and other folders. If it lands in spam, please add us to the safe senders list.
• At that point, you will see a message that says “Success – We will notify you when the administrator approves your account.”
• The Moderator will approve your account once they verify your membership. Please be patient. Our Moderators are volunteers and may not check their email daily.
• You will receive a second email notifying you that your account has been approved. Click the link to log in using the email address and password you provided.
• Once you log in, you will see the Manage Your Classifieds Account dashboard. Be sure to update your privacy settings as desired.
