For Sale Ads now Close 30 days after last posting.

"This is being done in order to prevent someone from dragging up an old ad and posting in it."


I don't quite understand the premise??? You could say that someone bumping a 5 day old ad is "dragging up an old ad and posting it"!! 5 days, 20 days or one year, it's still "an old ad". The only difference is that this new rule forces the seller to rewrite the ad and re-post pics that he/she had already done. Sometimes if the item doesn't sell (after a period of time) the seller will bump the ad and lower the price. Having to completely redo the ad makes unnecessary work/time for members that was never required in the past. And in the end...his/her ad will still be at the top of the list and the "old ad" will also remain in the "closed" status. So the number of times that the same (similar) ad will appear will multiply over time. I think things should be done to "improve" the experience for the members and not make it more time consuming or difficult.


In the beginning Joey asked, "Should I do this?"
My answer is "No".

Now everyone else can chime in.............................
