Title: "This item is not currently listed"
Post by: happyroller1234 on February 12, 2012, 05:35 am
I've been reading vendor reviews, and sometimes when I click an item, I get the message "this item is not currently listed."  If a vendor has a couple of feedback that link to this, is this suspicious?  Kind of nervous about this!

This means the item is sold out or currently not listed.

But in the case of a new vendor, who only sells a few things.  Why would he/she have a couple of different items that already sold out with less than 20 transactions?  Is it possible he/she is making listings, giving him/herself positive feedback, then scamming?  Not accusing anyone, just something I thought about.

Can you post a link to the vendor?

I have at least 3 or 4 of these and in my case, it is from putting up custom listings when people wanted to mix and match from my products. I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a scam unless it is the majority of a vendor's listings.

maybe they are just starting out and are on a low budget.
shipping in my case is like a min of $6.00 a crack.
it takes a lot of  backup cash to get started.

Not every seller has a lot of stock. Particularly in the case of a new seller who might not have much capital to start with.
