Inventory

Import only ever creates. Delete the duplicates. Why.
Expected. The report hands the refused rows back for pasting straight back after a fix. The commonest causes.
Only your subreddit’s current list is accepted, and a separator matters: Like New and LikeNew are two different conditions. Condition.
What was created stays created, and the report hands back the rest. Read it carefully first: one case leaves rows that may exist after all.
You are at your subreddit’s cap. Delete something, starting with the Traded tab. The cap.
An open trade is holding it, and only the trade resolving releases it. One stranded on a trade that no longer exists is freed by an hourly sweep.
The listing keeps its own copy. Delete the post itself to remove it.
It should show as traded there. A post already open in somebody’s browser keeps what it loaded.
Your moderators re-worded the list. An item keeps the condition it was saved with and still shows it. Editing the item lets you pick from the current list.
Where the app cannot read your subreddit’s settings it refuses to act on guesses, so publishing, offers and adding items stop together. It clears on its own.

​
Publishing

That is how the post ends up under your name rather than the app’s. Refusing cancels the publish. The sequence.
Your subreddit requires photos on some or all items. The rows that need them are named under the button, and you can add photos without leaving the composer.
Untick some. The chip at the top of the composer counts you against the cap.
A region always saves. Publishing is where the format is enforced. The details step checks the box as you type and shows the shapes your subreddit accepts, so nothing you typed is lost to a rejected region. Your moderators may have changed the format.
Reddit caps a title at 300 characters. Wants are shortened first, then items become +N more. Nothing is lost: the body carries both lists in full. How the title is built.
Leaving the composer discards the selection. Add a missing item from inside it.
Delete the post on Reddit, or mark the items traded. Deleting also erases its offers and its trades. Taking a listing down.
Settings take about a minute to reach the app, and the composer can show the older rules while the server judges by the newer ones. Close the hub and reopen it.

​
Offers

One open offer per listing. Withdraw the one you have, then make another. One at a time.
Three reasons, and the app says which: six rounds used, not your move, or the offer is resolved. Accept, decline and retract still work. Countering.
It has been accepted. The way out is backing out of the trade.
The comment behind it was deleted, or removed, which counts as the same thing. Approving it back does not restore the offer. Offers also expire at 30 days. The warning.
Either your subreddit keeps inventories private, or they have nothing on a live listing post right now. Only posted items can be added, because anything you are shown of somebody else’s has to be something they published. A lister countering can always drop staked items, whichever it is.
The comment went up and the app’s copy did not. The offer is real and visible in the thread. Do not post it again.
Your subreddit has asking prices switched off, which removes prices and cash everywhere.

​
Trades

It passed its deadline with steps outstanding. Both sides’ items were freed and a notice went in the thread. The deadline.
Somebody has marked their half sent. Once goods are moving the trade runs to its deadline instead.
Your subreddit may not write flair at all, or may use its own bot, in which case there is a button to post the line it reads. Trade Post keeps its own count either way. The three modes.
It appears only where your subreddit runs its own bot and has named it, and only for 14 days after the trade resolves.
An item you marked sent stays traded, because it left. Anything not sent goes back to available.
Trade Post no longer stores shipping addresses or payment handles of any kind, so there is nowhere to save one. Message on the trade card opens Reddit’s composer with the trade already filled in. Messaging the other trader.
Reddit’s app review does not permit it. Storing a shipping address or a payment handle makes Trade Post a holder of personal information, and the feature was removed rather than kept under a narrower rule. What is kept.
The feature was removed. Nothing in the app can read what was saved, and each record deletes itself within 90 days of its last use. Privacy policy.
That is Reddit’s own message composer, prefilled with the listing and a link to the thread. Nothing you type there passes through Trade Post.
The trade is recorded and the comment is not. Say so in the thread. Do not press the button again.

​
Everything else

The action still counted. Where a subreddit’s bot reads that comment it will credit the app’s account, so say so in the thread.
Your subreddit keeps inventories private.
That screen shows only what they have on a live listing post, not everything they hold. Listing posts expire after 90 days, so a trader who has not posted recently shows nothing. Seeing another trader’s items.
Letters, digits, spaces and hyphens only. The field is for a tracking number, not a note to the other side; use Message for that. Tracking.
The body rewrite is best-effort and can fail quietly. What the post shows in the app is always current; only the plain-text body that old Reddit and automod read can lag. Editing the item again retries it.
There is no Report on your own post or comment. Delete it on Reddit instead, which does more than a report would. Reporting.
Almost everything expires, the shortest at 30 days. The full table.
About a minute, subreddit-wide. A hub already open keeps the rules it opened with, so close it and reopen it. Reloading does not help.
There are no notifications. The hub badges its tabs while it is open, and the replies the app posts land in your Reddit inbox.

​
Still stuck

Anything on this page that did not match, or a message the app gave you that is not here: Getting help. Rules, removals and bans are the subreddit’s, not Trade Post’s, so those go to its moderators.
