I thought this used to be a required field prior to the last site update.
Hopefully it’s just an oversight and will be corrected promptly. It is quite an annoyance.
I don't disagree with this... BUT the byproduct is that multiple relistings makes using the search feature a bit more tricky... then you're wading through post after post of items that are no longer available.. or ads that have been relisted. Kinda lame actually.
There are pros and cons either...
I think plenty of folks use the "what's new" tab and that included all For sale ads with recent posts.... That's how I typically browse this site.
So I just make it a point to post in my ad every day or so.
I have used a bump feature on other sites... which allows the users to bump every 4...
