Close Item    Open Item    Delete    Refresh    Edit     

      Open Status
 Once the item being posted is ready to be displayed to the public it should be opened. The open status is represented by the eye symbol.

       Closed Status
A closed status means that the item is still saved on your account but is not visible to the website users. It can be made active on the site again by reopening it. Keeping an item closed can be useful if you do not want to be contacted by any more users or if you are waiting to get images of the item. After an item has been loaded up onto the website it is active for 60 days. If the item is closed it will also remain there for 60 days. Items can be renewed by the member if desired for a further 60 days by clicking the refresh button.

      Edit

     Delete
If the item has been disposed of- either through FREE Trade or by other means the item can then be deleted.
