Announcing A Brand New Buy Sell Auction System!

[Nifty-Chicken]

bargain, all old feedback will remain on the forum. You can find links to them at the bottom of this sticky post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=250783

beefy, yes, if you are not a GFM you are limited to listing 3 items every 30 days. We may update the system in the future to allow multiple sales of the same item in one listing, but there is not timeline on that.

Dawn, I'm not sure I understand. If you have something for sale, post it in whichever Buy/Sell forum is appropriate, it just needs to be listed in the new format.

Dawn, the only difference moving forward is you will be listing an auction or buyitnow for your sale items, instead of making a thread about them. They still go to their appropriate location. WTB will be the only acceptable 'thread'. The rest will be auction format.

I wonder what everyone thinks about, instead of listing auctions in order of their posting, if they are listed by ending date. That way the auctions ending soonest will be at the top. It could cause people to list auctions much shorter in order to be at the top, but with the limited number of auctions allowed, I think it would take care of that issue.

That's a great idea and one we're thinking about. There are a few things we have in mind for future changes related to this.

I like that idea as well

define "item". so i would just have to sell (Ex. shirts) in bulk, to sort of get around the system? or would that use up all my selling powers for one month?

Im sorry, I don't mean to be redundant, and I know this was answered but I can't find it. If you list an auction and it doesnt sell, it does or doesnt count against your total?

Thats a good idea if you are selling in bulk. You could list a "5 of any shirt" sale and peeps could contact you for sizes, colors, etc.

Yes, if you list an item and it doesn't sell it counts against you. One reason we are doing this is to reduce the amount of spam and bumping types of posts in the BSA areas.
