Most everyone thinks of posting a classified ad rather than putting their loving pets on auction.
While both classified ads and auctions accomplish the same goal (selling), it is far better to list your pets on auction.
Why you might ask?

1. Because you can list the auction with a reserve price.
2. You can use multiple categories to list in.
3. You can upload up to 4 pictures
4. You can determine the listing timeframe.
5. You can talk to prospective buyers via the "send buyer a message" box
6. You can set the auction bid price
7. You can set the auction bid increments to get to your price faster
8. You can set the auction duration
9. You can set the auction close timeframe
10. You can set the auction type: standard (one animal) or proxy (more than one animal).
