WTS posts got closed

Hello,
My recent thread is currently SPF and I was surprised to see it locked already. I intend to update it once transaction is complete. Did I do something wrong? Thank you.

You may have bumped your thread by posting in it SPF instead of just editing your main post. Too many people are bumping their threads to the top after it’s sold.

I didn’t bump it. I just edited my original post. The last post of my thread was the potential buyer saying he’ll take it.

It looks like a lot of your threads got merged. Your SPF thread just got caught up in the cleaning

Maybe site wants to preserve original content.

Ok. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong lol

WTS ads that are marked as "SPF" or "Sold Pending Funds" or something along those lines are treated the same as if the ad is marked as "sold".

This is due to past instances in which sellers were marking ads as "SPF" as a means to auction the item and continue to get bids on it ("back up offers").

Because ads marked "SPF" continue to be abused in this manner, they are treated the same as if they are marked as "sold".
Which means, the ad gets closed and cleaned up.

If for whatever reason the transaction does not get completed, then create a new ad for that item with a current price and not a "SPF" price.

Marketplace Rule #4.

If your WTS/WTB ad has no activity on it for more than 72 hours, then it is considered inactive and, when discovered, it is closed.

Last activity on your last WTS firearm parts accessories ad was approximately 5 days (120 hours) ago.

Marketplace Rules:

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.

If you are trying to minimize the info, just delete the info in your text boxes.
10 posts should take less than 10 minutes.

If you are trying to hide sales from your wife/ex, etc., the info is already on the web and can be retrieved even after deletion.

Same thing happened to me. I marked my thread SPF, because I was not aware of these recent changes to how the policy works.

In the past, and in my mind, SPF (sold pending funds) means, "It might be sold so don't PM me with offers until I know." And then if it is sold I mark it as sold. Otherwise I will mark it "Still For Sale".

So now that we cannot do this, how do I do the equivalent? I like to be 100% clear in all my communication. This policy of locking SPF threads muddies the waters.

It also bugs me that I can't go and mark my thread as SOLD. Now it will be locked and not marked as sold for perpetuity.
