Problem:

Let me explain in bullet form what I'm trying to achieve.
1. A user visits a single ad for example see: http://inthebunch.co.za/classifieds123/listing/off-road-2010/
2. The user then wants to see all the ads by that specific advertiser.
3. The user clicks on a link that takes them to that specific advertisers' author/archive page
4. On that page there is grid display of the advertisers' ads

Solution:

1) The user clicks on a link that takes them to that specific advertisers' author/archive page
You can setup the link to post author archive page with Views shortcode: [wpv-post-author format="link"]
For example, edit the layout "Single - Ad", the visual editor cell "Advertiser", add a line:
[wpv-post-author format="link"]

2) On that page there is grid display of the advertisers' ads
Createa Views wordpress archive for author archive page:

http://inthebunch.co.za/classifieds123/wp-admin/admin.php?page=view-archives-editor&view_id=6385

in section "Loops Selection", enable option "Author archives", and click "Edit" button, enable post type "Listings"
Then it will be able to display the listing posts of the specific author
