01 / PREPARE THE LISTING

The details are there.
Make the post yours.

Your saved profile and branding choices apply when you prepare. Open the optional editor for a short introduction or photo-order changes.

Add your own opening

Write a short introduction above the source description. Preview the text before you continue.

Choose the photo order

Move a photo forward or back, remove one, or restore the source gallery order. A failed secondary image can be skipped when the lead photo and most of the gallery load.

Review where it matters

Use Trail Buddy’s optional checks for a listing that needs adjustment, or open the Facebook draft directly. You still make the final check and publish in Facebook.

Choose whether to show your name, phone and email.
Review source-banner coverage for the vehicle.

03 / YOUR CARD GOES LAST

Leave them with
a way to reach you.

When your saved card preference is on, Trail Buddy creates a separate square card from your profile and reserves the last of Facebook’s 20 photo slots for it. With 20 usable vehicle photos, the card takes the 20th vehicle-photo position.

Your name and permitted contact methods make it yours. You can update the layout and colors in Profile & card.

Set it up once in Profile & card.
Download your own card as a PNG when you need it.

The card stays separate and last. LotTrail credit remains on the card.

04 / BEFORE YOU HIT PUBLISH

The handoff is yours.
Publication is your decision.

Trail Buddy helps fill the current Facebook form. Check every field and uploaded image there before publishing.

Prepared, then handed off

A prepared package and an opened Facebook form are separate steps. Neither proves that Facebook saved a draft or that a listing is public.

Published and confirmed

Publish manually in Facebook. Then record the real publication date in your listing history so later inventory changes can be reviewed.

Facebook’s form can change. If a field or image does not transfer, correct it manually before publishing.

Less copying.
A listing that looks like yours.

A few things to know

Marketplace preparation runs in desktop Chrome. You check the details and publish in Facebook yourself.

Saved website listing work can be reviewed in a compatible approved Trail Buddy build. Price and gallery changes require a review. After you publish, return to LotTrail to confirm it. Older standalone extension history remains separate.

Trail Buddy is independent software, not an official Meta integration. Mark a listing as published only after you’ve posted it.
