  uploading offers via SMS (coming november 2007)


1

send us this simple message.
We'll match it to your profile using your number.
The price will default to 'negotiable'
and expiry defaults to 14 days.

submit offer
to specify a price and/or currency,
just add the number and currency code like this.
Leave out the currency if you want the offer
to default to your country's currency.

target a group

keep your offer private - send to friends only:
just use the variable 'target='
setup up private, named networks of other users.
You can do this under your account preferences.
In this example the user has setup a
group of tradenet users called 'nairobitraders'
and wants the offer only to go to them.
You can setup as many private groups as you want.


submit offer
other variables are possible.
Look at the chart for options.
Use spaces, but NOT between the
option and its value
[eg 'grade=1' NOT 'grade = 1']





if you are a registered user with tradenet (and we recognize your mobile number) you can simply send us a text with your offer and we will instantly add it to the database and your account. We will also distribute it to all subscribers seeking offers for that market/country.

simplest form: ‘SELL MAIW 45KG’
You need to indicate whether you want to 'sell' or 'buy'. Then you need to specify the commodity code, and then the quantity. This short form will assume the currency of your country, and the price as ‘negotiable’)

with price: ‘SELL MAIW 45KG 5677
This will add a price, again defaulting to your currency.

specified currency: ‘SELL MAIW 45KG 3456GBP
To submit in a currency other than your country's specify it.
