Why are some items listed but are on hold or sold?
Items are placed on hold while I await receipt of money orders. If the money order does not arrive ten days after the customer placed their order, the item is placed for sale again. Items remain on the site for a few days after sale in case the customer needs to make a return. Also, I tend to list items in batches and remove items in batches so it can take me a few days to actually remove an item.
