How to post an ad
Steps:
1. Go to daype.com
2. Select your city from the top menu bar to go to the Daype page for your area.
3. Click on 'Post Your Free Ad', on the left hand side of the top menu bar.

5. You should now be looking at an easy-to-use form with a few text boxes. Fill in all the details (make sure you check the appropriate box for 'offering' or 'want'), include your email address and contact details, add images if you have them (always good if you're selling something), and hit continue.
6. Preview your ad, click 'edit' to make changes if you need to, then click to post and you're done! Tip: make sure the 'Please send me an email with links that will let me edit and delete my ad' box is checked for easy ad tracking and editing.

How to reply to an ad
Steps:
1. Select your city, then search or click through to the category you're interested in.
2. Click through to the ad you'd like to read.
3. Read the ad carefully, then, after determining that you're interested, scroll down to the bottom of the page. On the left hand side is a phone number field; beneath that is a link to 'contact poster'.
4. If you'd prefer not to call, click the link - it should bring up an email address. (Tip: typos are real. If the email address isn't blue, or underlined, be aware that it might be broken.)
5. Click on the email address. This should get your mail editor to open a new message with the 'to' field already filled in. Didn't work? The address may be broken, or the account deleted. If you still want to try and answer the ad, copy and paste the email address listed into a new message.
4. Write your message, hit send, and you're done!

User Accounts
Because posting and managing ads can be involved and time consuming, Daype makes life easier by offering users the option of signing up for a Daype account. (Tip: to sign up, just click on the 'register' link in the top right of any page.)
A few reasons to set up an account:
1. Efficiency. A user account lets you post and manage your ads without having to confirm each action via email.
2. Recognition. Registration lets you set a nickname, maintaining your anonymity, but letting you create buyer recognition and trust each time you post.
3. Participation. Daype has discussion boards open to all registered users - a great way to make connections in your area.
4. Skypeability. Registration lets users include their Skype information, making it even easier for buyers to get in touch.
