The Ezead Community is very basically a venue or means for people to be able to advertise and exchange goods and services in a straight forward easy to use manner, where there are no credit cards required, where you control your own content, where by one post you are posting your item or service not only Regionally and Nationally but Globally. Our goal is to provide a service that all can use, where people can trade, exchange information, help each other and generally we hope have fun without corporate greed and the almighty buck declaring policy.
WE are located in a small town just outside Vancouver, British Columbia know as Maple Ridge. See the bottom of the page for all contact info and addresses.
Very simply because I got fed up with the lack of response and caring that the larger online auctions and classifieds sites display, where when you have a problem there is no personal contact or help but rather a policy of ignore and you will go away, their lies and false presentations, and that corporate greed is the only thing dictating their policies without listening to the members that actually created them. I could go into a long winded story about my own experiences but there is not enough space on this page for that
I also found that a site where you can post your own items with total control over content without requiring either credit cards on file or get back to you tomorrow for your credit card info and then we will display you ad were either non existent or poorly done with no web presence and exposure or such poor server quality that I just didnt have the patience to either figure them out or wait for pages to load
I also have got fed up with the cost and expense of local print adverting in papers where the print size is so small that it takes a magnifying glass to read them , where only 30 words are allowed, where the photos are black and white and so tiny that maybe you can or cannot see them, where you have to continually renew them and spend either hours on the phone to place 3 free ads or drive 20 miles and wait in line only to find that the rates have gone up again to a point where you say to yourselves what am I doing - give my head a shake and finally have the paper come out and find that its loaded with errors. And then to have to go over the same procedure next week.
The site has been totally built by myself Frank Rayner(site ID Toolman)and with the total help and dedication from my lovely wife Carrol (site ID Webwidow - might get into that one later). The site has taken 3 years and over 8000 hours(Carrol informs me more but I lost track).
The site is run basically by you the member, as with the tools we provide you have total control over your items and listings, and communication, once the site gets going we will have a very easy to use online help system that will be manned 24 hours a day seven days a week, but in the meantime if you need help Merely click here on Support at Ezead, and I will answer any of your questions.
So to put it simply you and I run the site , when we talk about the Ezead team we are referring to myself, Carrol and you the Ezead Community members. We have a world class chat and forum program which when you download the windows client, will run in your package tray and allow instant messaging and online chat, forums and much more. WE also have a simple Java chat program and numerous forums and bulletin boards where we hope other members will help answer questions and works together with other members - In other words the Ezead Community. What I am trying to say is that we are not a large corporation nor do we plan on being a large corporation - just a site that is easy to use and hopefully fun and maybe one day I will get my investment and kids inheritance back. So please be kind if you find errors or spelling mistakes as the site is work in progress and probably always will be. For a little more information on us and our objectives check outour pledge to you our member.
The site when totally online and running will be capable of tens of millions of listing and almost unlimted traffic
or online users
We have our own dedicated 100 meg fibre optic line
(expandable to 1000 meg.)
The main site will be running on 4 large state of the art 10 way processor Mainframe servers with a pair of gigabit Alteon 180E Load Balancing Switches and 40 Terrabytes of Storage with DRAM software that assures no data lose and 16 quad zeon servers in a cluster will be running our auxilary programs such as stores - chat forums etc.
In laymans terms the site will be extremely fast, stable and secure.
The site is designed intentionally simple, with quick loading pages and Image Limited. Please realize that it very hard to make a site look appealing and yet be quick for both dial-up and hi-speed users. My main goal is to be accessible to all and worry about getting you Our Community Members as much exposure as possible with no distractions.
The format and layout of the site will remain intact so once you have figured out site navigation once it will be a breeze next time.
This format is especially friendly to search engine spiders and you will find that Ezead ranks in the top ten if not 4 on all the major search engines, plus when you post items on Ezead using a strong descriptive title you will find that they appear with 3-4 days in the search engines in strong positions, so you are not just advertising on Ezead but are advertising to the entire World.
This will as the site gets more items increase its exposure and we plan on extensive advertising and of course help from the Ezead Community members through our easy and simple to useSpread the Word program to get the word out|
SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REGISTER AND BECOME A Ezead COMMUNITY MEMBER.

day and age, I realize that time is one of our most precious
