Cut and paste this code in the description field and the above logo will appear in your acution ad:

<!--select everything below this line --> <a href="http://canada.homesalez.com/cgi-bin/suite/classifieds/classifieds.cgi?request=detail&ad_id=55555" target="_blank"><img src="http://canada.homesalez.com/images/banner_details.gif" border="0"></a> <!--select everything above this line -->

4. Disclaimer

Add the following disclaimer to the bottom of your auction description, to avoid confusion over the transaction:

NOTE: Because there are a wide variety of laws governing the sale of real estate, auctions of "real property" are usually not legally binding offers to buy and sell that property. Instead, they are simply a way for sellers to advertise real estate and meet interested buyers with the highest offers or bids. As such, winning bids on this particular property are not binding offers, and this listing is not a binding offer to sell. If you are interested in an "off-line" offer to purchase, and have a winning bid, please contact the owner through HomeSalez.com
