How Community Marketplace Works in Plinth

How community marketplace works in Plinth

Residents post and manage listings at Marketplace; admins review reports and moderate at Admin → Marketplace. Listing status is explicit — no honour-system edits in a chat thread.

Resident: post a listing

1. Open Marketplace (/marketplace).
2. Tap Post listing (or equivalent).
3. Choose listing type: sell, buy, rent out, rent wanted, service offered, or service wanted.
4. Enter title and description; add optional price (₹) and category.
5. Submit — listing is active and visible to society members.

Resident: manage your listings

1. Open My listings on Marketplace.
2. Edit title, description, price, or category while the listing is still relevant.
3. Mark sold when the item or deal is done — status becomes sold.
4. Remove to take it down early — status becomes removed.

Resident: report a listing

1. Open the listing detail.
2. Tap Report — Plinth calls report_listing.
3. Listing moves to pending_review until an admin decides.

Admin: moderate and view reports

1. Open Admin → Marketplace (/admin/marketplace).
2. Review the pending_review queue and reported listings.
3. Approve — listing returns to active if the committee finds it acceptable.
4. Remove — listing status becomes removed via moderate_listing.
5. Every moderation action is audit-logged.
