What is the purpose of BaseBulletinBoard.com?
The purpose of BaseBulletinBoard.com is simple. We want to provide the military communities of the United States Armed Forces, a one-stop-shop approach to buying, selling and donating goods and services to other military affiliated people.
Who is BaseBulletinBoard.com for?
BaseBulletinBoard.com is for any person that is affiliated with a military community. This includes the members of a civilian community that is near the military base.
How does BaseBulletinBoard.com work?
BaseBulletinBoard.com is an online version of the traditional bulletin board that can be found on most military bases. It's design is simple, yet, it's functionality is quite powerful. If you have an item or service that you would like to buy, sell or donate, our website is all that you need. You can advertise through us as well as search our listings for what is being offered.
Absolutely no personal information is made available unless you want it to be. If you find an ad that interests you, you can reply to it and the owner of the ad will be notified for you. This protects both parties and gives them the opportunity to communicate on their own terms.
What is BaseBulletinBoard.com's mission?
Our mission is to provide an online bulletin board type service for all United States military communities.
Is BaseBulletinBoard.com affiliated with the Department of Defense?
BaseBulletinBoard.com is in no way affiliated with the Department of Defense. We are a simple website completely owned and operated by an active duty military family.
How can I support BaseBulletinBoard.com?
The best way to support us is by telling your military family and friends about us. The more people that know about our service the better chance that the goods and services being offered will be sold or donated.
Can I receive email notifications of new ads that are posted?
Yes, absolutely! This feature is one of the coolest options that you have available to you as a registered user. You can sign up to receive an email notification each time a new ad is posted to a specific base of your choosing. This eliminates the need for you to continuously check our site for new ads.
How do I extend my ad beyond the standard 28 day time period?
You can extend your ad beyond the standard 120 day period by logging into your account and re-submitting it for approval. You can do this at any time.
How many pictures can I include with my ad?
We allow one picture that is no larger than 1.5 MB to be uploaded with your ad. Keep in mind that numerous pictures are not necessary because the purpose of our site is to connect buyer and seller as easily as possible. Once a buyer is interested by what the seller has posted, the buyer can contact the seller and ask for more information to include pictures. At this point, BaseBulletinBoard.com has done it's job. It has connected two interested parties so that a transaction can occur.
What if my base/location is not listed on your website?
If your base/location is not listed on our website, simply send us a message by going to our Contact Us page and we will add it to our database. We are aware that deployed and remote locations will need to be added. Rest assured that we are prepared to support our heroes that are away from home.
Do you rent or sell my registration information?
Absolutely not! We do not like receiving junk mail or spam mail so don't expect any from us. We are active duty military members. As such, we believe that we are members of a family that takes care of each other. This family happens to be the U.S. military. In order to communicate with our registered users, we will send newsletters from time to time but they will come from us and the email addresses are kept private. Your information is safe with us.
Is my email address ever made public?
The email addresses of both the buyers and sellers are kept private. We have designed our website so that the only way your email address, or any personal information for that matter, is visible to anyone is if you allow it to be. The initial contact is made via this website. Anything after the initial contact is entirely up to the buyers and sellers.
