HI Constance,
If you've marked this as "for sale" with a "public" status, this is already on Mearto's marketplace and interested buyers can reach out to you directly. If you can't see the status, or can't figure out how to change it, let me know and I'll ask our client service dept to fix it for you.
Thanks,
Delia

I've asked our customer service dept to make sure these get listed on the marketplace. They should be there within 24 hours.
Thanks,
