  2. The ☆ Advertised ☆ list is available for free to ADCOM licence holders so their requests are easy to find option promotes requests (Only available ADCOM licence holders free of charge). 
  3. Providers can browse the Public Buyers list (Free of charge for all licence holders) 

For invitation-only requests, once published:

    Subscription notifications are sent for public requests with a Product/Service or a Trade/Skill.
    Filter results will match if a Product/Service or a Trade/Skill matches and each of the other categories match matches the subscriber's filter.
