Removing or showing classified as as ";Sold";
3/26/2018 at 1:06 PM

Does anyone know if there is some way of marking my classified ads as "sold" using the eBrandon app??

I've been using my phone to post most of my ads and can't seem to find anywhere to click "sold"

Why don't you just delete the entire ad instead??

The first time I posted an add I continued to receive calls after posting “SOLD”. It was really annoying. This last time however, I just deleted my ad....didn’t receive a single text or call

Buyers please keep to times

I agree with either removing ads or putting sold on them once the item has been sold. Could buyers who agree to turn up at a time actually turn up.
I had agreed with a buyer to meet at noon. No sign. At 1.15pm they sent me a message to tell me that they were on their way and was I at home!

Please keep to agreed times.

delete the ad not sold

why would you not just delete the ad once its gone, the sold button is just above the delete ad button, would save everyone alot of patience if a sold item was just gone.

Huh

ideas said "When I pull mine up on phone the sold is just under- item price and category just above my password.

Ms. Daisy marking it sold shows people that keep calling that it is indeed sold. I used to just delete but people copy ads and phone numbers and call even after the ad is removed.
So personally I have had better luck showing it as sold. "

You think people come back to see if it says SOLD before calling?? If they did don't you think the same thing would happen if they came back and saw that the ad was deleted?? So personally deleting the ad would also get rid of any potential calls and clean up the classifieds. Seems like a smarter idea but maybe not...

To verify

If someone could just let me know where on the phone app I can go to click that the item is sold (or to just delete) either one is fine.

Marking as sold
3/28/2018 at 3:42 PM

Thanks for your interest in using the classifieds.

The app is built to be an extension of the website rather than a standalone service. It’s built to take ad submissions through the app because the cell phone camera is a natural fit for placing ads. To edit you would want to login through the website or the mobile website. If you have any difficulties don’t hesitate to drop me a note the the contact link at https://eBrandon.ca/contact.aspx
Thanks!
