Could be - but most forums have the rule that an "I'll take it" gets it. Leaving an ad open after someone has already claimed it behind the scenes isn't right, either. If it's SPF - mark it that way.Could this be an instance where the buyer contacted the seller via Personal Message before (or without) posting "I will take it" on the forum ad? I know I have contacted a seller via PM without posting "I will take it."
I've never had a problem up until the last several months.
