Two months online
To keep the marketplace up to date, every listing expires automatically two months after you posted it. We send you an email 7 days and 1 day before the end date, and once more on the day after it expired. Each of these emails contains a link to extend the listing.
What happens to an expired listing?
An expired listing is no longer shown in the overviews and search results. Whoever still opens the link sees that the listing has expired and can no longer respond. Nothing is deleted: when you open the listing yourself, you see a notice with the options to bring it back.
Extending a listing
- Free of charge: use the link in the email or in the notice on your expired listing. This is possible once the listing has been online for at least 31 days.
- With a promotion: every paid promotion adds two months to the running time and puts your listing back at the top. Read How do I promote my listing?
Are all your free active listings in use? Then a free extension is not possible until you free up a spot, or you choose one of the paid options that are shown.
Reserved or sold
On your own listing you find the Status field with three choices:
- Available: the normal status.
- Reserved: you have a deal in the making. The listing stays visible with the label Reserved, and you can set it back to Available at any time.
- Sold: the listing is closed and moves to Sold items on your profile. You cannot undo this yourself.
With every change, the members who added the listing to their favourites or sent you a message about it are notified.
Sold automatically with buyer protection
When a buyer pays a payment request with buyer protection for your listing, the listing is marked as sold automatically. You do not have to do anything.
Editing or deleting
With Edit Item you change the text, photos and price. If you lower the asking price, the old price is shown crossed out. On the same page you can delete the listing; we then ask whether you sold the item through Airsoft Bazaar.
