Thread: So if I buy the test ad in the classifieds....

What are you getting exactly, Ed? I don't see any hold status on it, and when I click on the purchase button with quantity 2 it seems to accept it (of course then it fails because paypal doesn't want to let me purchase from myself).

OKAY I just bought 3

Thanks, and now we found some bugs. The quantity decreased from 4 to 3 instead of to 1 and the notification told me that it was 4 items that were purchased.

Next, we'll have to track down the bug, so no need to make more test purchases for now.

This was a bit cumbersome but i took a photo of my phone screen with another phone and then messaged myself the photo

Ed, that's a different ad you're looking at, and yes that one has a hold on it. I still don't know what that means (I think I know what it is supposed to do) - I've turned it on and off to no effect. I've also marked that ad as sold so you wouldn't be able to buy it even without the hold.

Best way to take a screenshot confirmed

Well it seems that I got the wrong ad and now am being ridiculed for my level of tech savvy. I am just going to the darkest corner to cry and rock backwards and forwards.

"That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad."

I cry when instead of figuring out even a 'stupid' solution people just sit around content with things just being crappy.

Plus back and forth over a dark rock is not the worst way to get your razors sharp

I can do one better than 'stupid'. I 've done 'broken' in the past. Lucky someone else could fix it.
