No, anyone can become a
registered user and post classified ads regardless of membership status. Registration
and text-only ads are free of charge. We do charge a fee for posting
photo ads, payable on-line by credit card or PayPal. Note: Advertised
horses, items and services must be located in Oregon or northernmost California unless
otherwise specified.
The answer to this is No and
Maybe. (1) No: Registered Users will not be added to
an advertising mailing list. Registered
users may occasionally receive emails from OEN alerting them to
important user issues. Unlike many web directories OEN does
NOT participate in direct email
marketing to users or members, nor do we sell or share your contact
information with others. Please see our Privacy
Policy. If you choose to include an email link in your
ad, your actual email address will be concealed. (2) Maybe: While OENMail conceals your address from
harvesting programs, remember that our site is open to the public. This
means that if you include an email link in your ad, anyone can manually
click on that link to send you a OENMail message.
Do the
classified ads provide any protection against spammers and email harvesting
programs?
Yes. email links in the
classified ads employ OENmail. This email system operates from OEN's
server and conceals the address of the recipient while allowing visitors
to send email by clicking on a live link. Because your address is
invisible, email harvesting programs can't capture it and spammers can't save it to their mailing lists. Note: If you reply to a
message sent via OEN Mail, the recipient can see your address. Even so,
we've included a "don't link" box for you to check if you
don't want a clickable email link in your ad. If you don't want to
include an email link then you must provide some other way for
interested parties to contact you, such as a telephone or cell number.
Why doesn't
my submission immediately appear in the classified ads after I submit
it?
While our database system
gives you hands-on control of your ad, all new submissions are
reviewed for accuracy and appropriate placement before posting, just
like they've always been. We work hard to review and post classified ads
as quickly as possible, so most ads typically appear within a few hours.
How are classified
ads displayed and ranked?
Ads are displayed by
calendar date in descending order in all ad categories and search
results. Member ads have priority and are flagged with the OEN Member
button. Here's how ads are ranked within their calendar date:

Your
Internet Protection Software, Ad Blocking, or Anti-Popup software is the
likely culprit. Many individuals and
business networks are using Internet protection/ad
blocking software such as Norton NIC, Google, etc. and
leaving all default features turned on. These
ad-blocking programs can interfere with your ability to
navigate this and other commerce web sites by hiding and
disabling
legitimate links. Our site has been tested on Internet
Explorer, Netscape, and Opera. If you're using a different browser such
as Safari (Mac) and encounter difficulties while browsing our site,
