Here is how it works.
A buyer sees an ad for something he/she wants at the price & terms he/she agrees to.
Buyer presses the REPLY button. This fancy window pops up:

Then the buyer can ONLY select "I'll take [item] pending inspection"
1794333793282.png

Buyer then enters what item in the ad he/she is committing to buy. In this example the only item for sale are the jelly beans. (That's right, jelly beans! HA HA!)

After pressing Continue, one last chance to back out:

After pressing "OKAY -- Committing to Transaction", the "I'll take it" is posted:
1794334006832.png


The first person to post "I'll take it" has priority and should IMMEDIATELY send the seller a Direct Message to arrange the transaction.

Previously, interested buyers could post "seconds" or "next" to indicate they were next in line. Under the new procedure, additional interested buyers should post their own "I'll take it" commitment, following the same process as the first buyer.

The order of priority is determined by the order in which commitments are posted in the thread.

The seller is obligated to honor the first "I'll take it" commitment. However, if that transaction falls through, the seller should proceed to the next buyer in line, continuing in order until the item is sold.

Bottom line: First commitment gets first opportunity. If that sale falls through, the next commitment takes priority.

Also, the thread starter (seller) can still bump the thread 24 hours after the last post in the thread, same as before. They don't see this pop up when replying. And in the first hour, the seller can keep posting in the thread (you know, to add a post for each item offered for sale, or pictures or whatever). That hasn't changed.

Oh, you'll love it! I made an add-on over the weekend that should restrict bad bumps from the seller after someone posts "i'll take it". They can always edit their ad or wait 24 hours from the last post.
Pretty slick (s**t) this ChatGPT! :ROFLMAO:

You're lucky someone a lot smarter than you knew not to give me that kind of power.
 
Obviously you have never seen the admins only threads,,........most of them are about this former padawan apprentice....... :devilish: :alien: :ROFLMAO:
 
But, but, if you already made the law, why do we need to restrict the ability to break it? Don't people just follow the law?
 
Random thought/question; if the ads in trading post are becoming so locked down/restricted, why not just automate the bumps every 24 hours as well? Ideally the automated daily bumps would not have an endless number of “bump” posts to scroll through; the date of the original post should be clear enough.
After X amount (e.g. whatever Mods deem appropriate) of 24 hour bumps the OP can receive a private message with an invitation to close, edit, or continue bumping the post which will reset the bump clock (unless the close option was selected).
 
The ads are not becoming locked down or restricted but are being set up so that there are far fewer rules' violations by those who refuse to follow the rules.

Any post in an ad brings it to the top of the list. We have had some folks who got their buddies to post "I'll take it" , then a couple of hours later, a post from the same member saying "Rescinding my offer due to blah blah blah", and again the ad is back at the top of the list.

Hopefully the new software additions will help keep everything fair for all members, sellers and buyers.

But for those who find new ways around the rules...............I have that video of 5 full minutes of Kamala Harris word salad speeches all queued up and the chair in front of the screen and the duct tape waiting.........but you will still get the Nevada Shooters Drool Cup and Bib after your punishment, (you will need both!)........no one has yet come out of the viewing with their mental faculties intact............BAAAWAAAHAHAHA! :eek::poop: :devilish: :alien: :ROFLMAO:
 
Maybe this is a dumb question but like, why is ANY conversation at all such a bad thing or big deal in the ads section?

I been here 17 years, and what, the last 2 or 3 maybe have been all strict on "no talking allowed in the ads sections!"

Is it just because you dont want ads moving above newer ads?
 
It's always been in the rules, we only started enforcing it a few years ago because way too many folks were posting comments in the ads to bump the ad for their buddy the seller.
ANY post in an ad bumps it to the top of the list, we had a couple of jokers who had half a dozen or more buddies posting comments of all types, mostly stupid stuff, in their ads every 15 minutes to keep the ad at the top of the list.

And the comments themselves soak up bandwidth on the server, more usage is more money.
Sellers are told that any changes in the ad are to be put in post number one using the edit button.
That doesn't bump the ad, AND it lets folks see all the information in one spot, rather than having to scroll through dozens of pages of bumps looking for the latest price drop, more details, etc.

It also stops folks from posting lowball offers in the ad, where everyone see it, and then starts commenting on what a jerk the lowballer is for offering 50% or whatever less than the asking price. And it stops folks from thread crapping by posting in the ad "Are you nuts asking $$$ for XYZ, you can buy them anywhere for $$ less than that!' and then they get banned for thread crapping.

If a buyer has questions about an item, they send a PM, get an answer, and if the seller thinks it is information that others might need to decide to make the buy, the seller can put it in post number one with the edit button, and there it is for all to see.
 
Perfect. I have had issues in the past with people not following the rules. To many people go straight to PM's. And someone always gets there feelings hurt 😭
 
If you love this feature/modification, you'll love the plans for the WTB ads.... :)

Only allows users to SEND A MESSAGE to the poster of WTB Ads!
