Adding a Registration number to Regtrader

Once you've created your account and/or logged in you can begin to add one or more number plates to your account.

The plate editor (see left) by default has no plates added to it.

Click on the Registration field and type in the VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) of the number plate you wish to sell. This needs to be the real registration mark, not your impression of it.

In the Sale Price field enter the price you'd like to get for the plate in GB Pounds. Regrader does not accept or require decimal points or commas.

In the Word/Name field you can enter your impression of the number plate. This can be the word or name it resembles, initals, vehicle model, whatever you think it matches the best.

If you think your number plate fits into a Regfinder word category then check the Cat/Subcat box. You can then choose the category you'd like the word placed in on the tree list. This is optional, if you do not assign a category the plate will still be searched by Regfinder based on the VRM characters and the word/name you entered.

Now click on Add/Update to add the number plate to the list of plates at the bottom of the editor.

Repeat this process for all the number plates you wish to sell.

Adding Many Number Plates to Regtrader

The editor can also accept a text list of all your number plates. The list of plates needs to be formatted as comma delimited in the format:

 

VRM,PRICE,WORD<carriage return>

 

To add the text, copy it to the clipboard from a text editor, then paste it into the editor's text field, remove the default text if it still there.

If your the text is correctly formatted click 'Add' to add all the plates to the list at the bottom of the editor.

If the editor reports an error, go back and check text for formatting errors.

Once your plates are added, scroll through the list to check that all the details are correct.

At this stage you might also want to apply categories to each plate, click on the 'Add or edit plates' tab, select a plate from the list by clicking on it, check the Cat/Subcat box, choose a category from the tree and then click on 'Add/Update'.

Repeat this process for each number plate in the list.

 

Choosing How Buyers Contact Me

The 'Send buyers to' editor option defaults to 'my email address' which means that potential buyers are prompted to send an email message to your address about the number plate they wish to buy. You may however prefer that buyers are sent to your web site instead, if so select the 'my web site' button then enter the site address in the URL: field.

 

Submitting your Number Plates to Regfinder

Once you've added number plates to the list, checked the details and applied categories where necessary you can Submit them to your Regtrader account.

Press the Submit button, at this stage your plates are uploaded and checked. If there are issues with any of the number plates you are returned a report detailing what the issues were. Your successful plates are now in a queue, we quality check all number plates prior giving the search engine access to them, for service quality and abuse purposes, this usually takes less than a few hours.
