How do I give someone a good rating after I deleted my post. I did not know how to do it at first.

[Bidrop]

yup

I think I got my for sale post deleted because I responded to my post indicating that the item was sold. I apologize if that is considered a "bump".

Does that mean the buyer and I lose the ability to submit itrader feedback on each other?

it may be considered a bump and a violation of the bump rule, but it also violates this rule.

7) Edit the title to show your items have been 'Sold'.
Once you have sold the item(s) in your classified ad that you have in the Marketplace, edit the title so it's obvious that the item(s) have been sold'. Do not create a post just to say your item is sold. The moderating team does not delete threads simply because a transaction is completed, so please do not ask.

Thanks for the details. It's a bummer the buyer and I both miss out on the itrader feedback.

Thanks to renshinkan for a smooth transaction on the sale of my Benelli M1!

[Kwick91]

How do I delete?

[dtm925]

Shoot I think I got all my threads deleted for violating the multiple listing rule. If so I sincerely apologize. I love this place.

Please clarify a point for me. I have looked for an answer - but so far have not found one. With new forum sales format. I have numerous handguns and several long guns that I want to post for sale. Can i do one post in long guns containing all long gins and one post in handguns containing all handguns - or am I limited to one post with everything???? Thanks

you would need to post the handguns in the handgun section nd the longguns in the long gun section. so one thread in each forum.

[blasterp7]

Thanks - I appreciate it

I got a message about reading the rules for bumping a post. My bad. But a separate post was locked by moderator?

The Spikes lower? You bumped that one just to say SPF.

That is the same as bumping to say SOLD, which is specifically against the rules.

Do not make a new post to say SPF or SOLD. Simply EDIT THE ORIGINAL POST TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.

Mods probably locked it because you were going to come back and bump it again to tell us it sold, or that you woke up with a headache, or who knows what else.

Yup.

[ggarcia68]

Well my mistake. Wasn't neccesarily looking to bump it intentionally. Dually noted.

From the "Marketplace Rules".....

9) For Sale threads must have a price listed.

Does a WTT ad need to have a price listed. Not looking to sell, just want a specific pistol to trade. Thanks.

No price necessary in a WTT thread, since you're not looking to SELL anything.

Thank you. A member has been messaging me insisting that I need to post a price in my WTT thread.

I am unable to give feedback for a completed transaction because the URL is invalid. However the URL is correct. How do I fix this?

Remove the s after http, usually the most common issue.

To say, "SOLD," and be done with it.

When I try to update my post I get the below message. I don’t get an option to update the “Title”
“Post Error. The title that you have entered is too long...Please shorten...”

[AmericanEric]

Can you guys delete my Staccato post please? I tried to update to sold but you guys combined the two staccatos into one post and then locked it for some reason so that I can’t edit it or post on it, so now I keep getting messages from people asking if it’s for sale even though it’s gone. Thanks.

This is one of my issues on this site… going to a post and reading the entire thread only to see it has been sold on the last post and not in the title. would assume if a post is 6 months to a year old and hadn’t been bumped Items are sold? I would suggest a time limit on sell threads. There are sold threads still active from 2010. Ive pm’d sellers without any reply and then the same sell thread gets bumped the day after asking if it’s sold? Another manditory item should be images of the item with username posted in the image. sending a phone number txt or email is a scammers delight. This would weed out phishing for personal information. I can volunteer to help out clean up/delete threads if needed. Cheers fellas

Hello Moderators,

I am looking for some insight on why my thread was locked. Here for reference:
https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/....php?t=1843710

I double checked the rules and do not believe I broke anything. In all my Marketplace listings I ensure all information is clear.

I went back to the thread to update the Listing from SPF to SOLD and I saw it had been locked. Looks like I need to create a new listing for the remaining firearm I have for sale, which is not a big deal, but still looking for some insight so I know what I did wrong.

Thank you in advance.

Why is my post locked??
I followed the rules

Appears because of Marketplace Rule #4.

The ad was inactive and closed.

No activity for 72+ hours = inactive.

Inactive = closed to prevent necroposting on old ads.

Hi Quiet.

I'm not the person you responded to, but think it could apply to my request in an earlier post.

So then as Sellers we are required to "bump" our thread repeatedly to prevent it from being locked? There are dozens of threads from years ago that are still unlocked, I would think those take a priority over threads that may be days/week old?

I only ask because I do not actively bump me thread every day like some people do, as I find it annoying personally and creates a situation where you see the same ads repeatedly.

Not trying to be rude, just want to understand better.

[Pyrite]

I see reading the thread no longer stops it. Don't care for that.

As the post creator, you can do one bump every 24 hours.

If the OP does not post any new activity (bumps, adding new items, etc) within 72 hours, then the thread may be closed as being inactive.
^On average the thread isn't closed until after 168 hours inactivity.

Threads typically get closed as they get reported/discovered.
There is not enough time in the day to proactively go through every marketplace subforum on a daily basis, so implementation of this is not consistent and some subforums may not see any attention for several months.

Thank you Quiet for the perspective.

Hello,

My listing of a hellcat was locked. Anyway you can delete the post or change the title to sold. I keep receiving private messages asking if it’s available. Thank you in advance.

[Jaytil]

I had 2 threads in the Marketplace that were locked during the recent conversion. One is in Long guns and one is in reloading. Can they be reopened or do I need to start new threads? Thanks in advance.

Not a moderator, but I am assuming you need to make a new one because I couldn't get my previous one unlocked either.

It sucks and it's annoying how inconsistent thread locking is but I also appreciate being apart of this community and site without constant ads so it is what it is.
