Important Update: Introduction of a Small Listing Fee & Expanded Services

Hello!

We have some important updates to share with you about FTA, the future and the opportunities ahead.

As you will have seen from previous emails we have been planning on implementing a small charge for listings and as of today, we will be introducing a 50p per listing per week charge on FTA. This change is a direct result of the incredible uptake we’ve seen on the platform over the last few months with over £6M in sales for our users. With more users joining us every day and a huge number of listings being added, our platform is growing rapidly! To ensure that we can continue to offer you the easy, high-quality service and experience you’ve come to expect, we need to cover the costs associated with hosting, security, and continued development to allow for new products, features and improved usability.

This minimal fee will help us maintain and improve the platform while allowing us to add even more features to enhance your experience. Our goal is to remain the most user-friendly and cost-effective marketplace for machinery sales, equipment hire, and now, services.

New Features: Hire Equipment & Services Advertising

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve expanded the platform to now offer advertising for hire equipment and next week, services. Whether you’re a business owner or an individual looking to list your services, FTA is the place to connect with the right audience for minimal cost.

Here’s a quick look at the new features added:

Hire Equipment

Have machinery or tools available for hire? You can now advertise them on our platform, helping others find what they need, when they need it.

Services

From plumbers and builders to relief milkers, engineers, and ground workers, we’ve got a new section coming next week dedicated to showcasing service providers. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with potential customers looking for expertise in a wide range of fields.

Our platform is here to help you succeed, whether you're looking to sell machinery, offer hire equipment, or advertise your services. With fewer competitors on a newer platform like ours, your listings will have excellent visibility, giving you a better chance to stand out and attract the right customers.

We appreciate your continued support as we grow and improve. We believe these small changes will help us deliver even more value to you, and we’re excited to see what the future holds!

Thank you for being part of the FTA community. We look forward to providing you with the best marketplace from here on in!
