Welcome to INGO and Merry Christmas!
Take a look at the rules. You are supposed to have 50 posts before participating in the classifieds, whether it be through PM-ing someone or posting in the thread. Or you can become a site supporter for $10 and have access to the classifieds without 50 posts. Hope that helps!
Thanks! And thanks again for the info. It did help! I finally found the rules. I sent $11 PP right after I signed up, before I posted. However, it apparently takes a bit for the upgrade to be activated.
Welcome JC and glad you found us. I'll get your supporter membership up tonight!
