Question trade threads in the marketplace

gokenin · 01-23-2010, 03:48 PM

I dont know if its possible but when someone posts a thread in the marketplace as sell or trade is there a way that the post can me stopped until the person selling the lens actually lists lens that they may be intrested in a trade for? I have looked at some lens and have had to send the person a pm to find out what they were looking for and then had to wait for them to respond only to find out that they wanted something I didnt have. I think it would make these kind of ads a little easier.

Instead of that, it would be best if they specified what they want to trade for (which is technically already already a requirement).

Thanks Adam its been a while since i sold anything so I didnt know that the new ad format had this already in it, is there any way that you can make this field one of those *required things that you always see if you check the trade/sell catergory?

Technically it needs to be specified by the user in the open-ended field, so not at the moment. If I can find a workaround I'll implement it.
