There are numerous methods of getting pictures of your items into your Loot in The Loft listing.

By far the easiest method is to use a digital camera to take a picture which you can save onto your computers hard drive. Scanned pictures or Film-to-digital images are also a good way of getting pictures into your listings.

Make sure your picture portrays your item at its best (edit it with photo editing software if necessary) - a good, well lit picture with the item filling the frame will sell it easier and faster than a dark, shadowy one or where the item is shown small relative to the frame size.

Your picture file size should be as small as possible (you might want to make use of file size reduction software such as the brilliant PIXresizer to do this) so that your listing appears quickly enough for your visitors not to become impatient waiting for it to appear.

All users of Loot in The Loft must be 18 years of age or older. The reason we have this requirement is that individuals under the age of 18 are sometimes the target of criminal intent. Therefore, our services are not available to children. We ask that, if you are under 18 years of age, please do not register with us - we will happily welcome you into our membership when you are. You will still be able to use our services, but only under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

NOTE: If you breach this policy, all of your current listings will be removed from sale and your account cancelled immediately with no refund of listing fees given.

Any member who believes another member to be under-age, please report them to underage@lootintheloft.com including their UserID and any other supporting information. Reporting them is for their own benefit as our policy is to protect minors from criminals.

As Email is a direct member to member communication channel, there is no way for Loot in The Loft to control it.

If you do receive an Email that is offensive, or in any other way unwelcomed, you can do one (or all) of a number of things.

1. Set your Email program so that it won't allow the senders' incoming mail into your inbox. If you cannot do this, please do not be tempted to reply.
2. Report the sender to Loot in The Loft, including message headers and Email content.
3. Report it to the senders' ISP or Email provider.
4. If you are personally threatened in the Email and fear for your safety, inform the Police.
