Try searching for groups on WeChat using keywords like "二手物品 Shanghai" (second-hand goods Shanghai) or "闲置物品交换上海" (unused goods exchange Shanghai). You might have better luck with more specific search terms, targeting the type of electronics or clothing you're selling. Also, check out smaller, neighborhood-specific WeChat groups – those often have more local engagement.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
