    I have been trying to reconcile a delivery of coins to the description given in their auction, but find the thread has gone.
    Another auction thread that I won has disappeared too - I wanted to retain the photos and descriptions of the coins, so I could sell accurately later on.

    Why are finished auctions deleted, and is it the seller or the admin program deleting?

    Sale threads are automatically deleted once they are 30 days old to protect the privacy of sellers and buyers.

    Thanks for reply. I have auction threads that are nowhere near 30 days that have disappeared. Now can't reconcile what i actually got with the auctioneer's description.

    Threads are removed on sellers' request - but they are not simply deleted. They are moved to a hidden archive until the 30 days has expired, and then they are really gone for good. PM me and I'll look into it.

    Just ask for the coins' description on the forum and than write it down somewhere :)
