7. Optional: Hide or Delete the Post
   • If you want to clean up your timeline or product list further, you can choose to:

     • ‘Delete Post’: This removes the listing entirely from your profile.

Why It’s Important to Mark Items as Sold

Marking items as sold helps maintain transparency with your audience and ensures you avoid confusion or miscommunication with potential buyers. It also serves as an opportunity to showcase that your products are in demand, building trust and confidence in your offerings. Furthermore, keeping your listings updated can enhance your credibility and even improve your visibility in search results, as search engines favor well-maintained and regularly updated content.

If you’ve cross-listed the product on other platforms, remember to update its status there as well to ensure consistency across all your selling channels.
