Question About Classifieds

e-merlin · May 11th, 2008, 09:58 AM

I put a few things over in the Classifieds last week. The ads were for 7 days, today being the last day. When I checked them this morning, they were all marked "Sold!" though none of them have. Is that normal? Wouldn't it be better if they were marked as "Ended?" This was my first time posting anything over there, and, had any item sold, I would have removed the ad to avoid any confusion.

Thanks in advance for the help.

There are only two ways that items get marked sold. You clicked on the "sold" link or you set them up as an "auction" and at the end of the auction time the software automatically marks it sold.

You must have set them up as Auctions. I thought I had removed that option, but it's happened before so there must be some places in the program where I have not removed the option.

Thanks, I'll be more careful next time.
