Owner OnlyOnce a listing is live, the owner can take several management actions directly from the listing page — scroll to the bottom to find these buttons.
Once your item sells, click Mark as Sold. The listing gets a "SOLD" banner and is removed from active search results. Buyers who view it directly will see it is no longer available.
Click Delete Listing to permanently remove it from the platform. You will be asked to confirm. Once deleted, the listing is gone and you will be taken back to your Dashboard.
If an administrator schedules your account for deletion, it enters a "Deletion Pending" status. Your data is retained for 48 hours before permanent removal. During this window an administrator can cancel the deletion. After 48 hours all data is permanently and irreversibly purged.
Listings expire after 60 days. When your Dashboard shows an expiry warning, click Renew to reset the listing date to today. This moves it back to the top of search results.
