Validate a listing address

When you enter a new listing, the system attempts to validate the address against a national address database to determine its geographic codes, which are needed in order to perform searches based on radius or map, and to display the listing on a map. There may be times, however, when the system cannot automatically validate the listing's address. Without an accurate placement of the list on the map, your listing cannot be found through the Radius or Mad search. When the listing cannot be automatically validated, the following message will appear:

The listing address can be manually validated by using the Map Pin Placement feature when creating or revising the listing. This will allow the listing to be placed on a map and will enable you to access the listing through a Radius or Map search.

2. Select the listing you wish to review or revise.
3. Under Listing Information on the Revising Listings page, click Map Pin Placement.
4. The map with the listing icon will display on the next page. To adjust the placement of the listing, simply drag the icon to the desired location.
5. Once the listing is placed properly, click Save at the top of the page.

NOTE: To return the pin to its original location, click the Restore Defaults button.
