Is it possible to extend supply listings?

You can easily extend the duration of any supply listing by selecting ‘prolong activity’ and specifying  how long the deal should be valid for. In the same way, you can also deactivate and reactivate deals.

Do trading deals expire if I do not reply?

As illustrated each deal has a timer, this means that you must update your partner or take an action within that time-frame. If you do not do so, then the deal will expire.

Examples of valid actions would be: posting a chat confirmation, negotiating on the deal, updating the offer, and either accepting or declining the deal.
