Welcome to Folk, the UK's newest trading community.

We're pretty sure you'll manage to find your way around Folk without much trouble, but here's a brief help guide incase you do run into trouble.

Search

Does exactly as it should, it searches for anything you're looking for in any location. If you're not bothered about where in the country the item you're searching for comes from, just search for the item itself. It's that simple.

Tabs

The tabs beneath the search box will help you navigate your way to exactly what you're looking for, if you want to browse the FS/T threads, click on it. If you want to look for freebies, or you have a free item to list, click on "Free." Here you also have the option to include or exclude closed listings.

Adding a listing

Click the "Add your listing" tab. You'll then get to select which forum you're using. Click the symbol to select either For Sale / Trade, Wanted or Free. Fill in the fields below and add any relevent pictures straight from your computer... you don't need to upload to an image host first. Just browse and select the pic you want to use. Submit your listing, job done.

Your Profile

Again, you'll see tabs at the top of your profile. Each one does exactly as it says on the tin. Click on the relevent tab to see your current listings, threads you're following and your forum feedback and messages. A summary of all tabs is on the right of your profile page. If you have any problems, fire in a message via the contact form at the bottom of the homepage. And finally, it should go without saying but please be smart when trading! Report anything suspicious you see and look out for one another. Hotukdeals For Sale forum rules still apply and for the meantime you must still request your thread closure via the normal report functions.
