What does "Active" and "Inactive" mean when you list items? It says my items are listed but inactive

[Static Magic]

When I am listing my items on the marketplace, I see that my items say they are listed, but also that when I am editing their listing there is a radio box for Active and Inactive? By default it is on inactive, what does this mean?

You have to make them Active to put them up for sale and available to customers.

They are inactive by default to give the chance to get your pics and stuff all sorted before they show to everyone else & sometimes they changed to inactive by LL if the delist them for some reason, in which case you can submit a ticket to find out what the problem is (usually posted in the wrong category is the reason).

in addition - the active/inactive options are also quite useful if you have seasonal items that you wish to sell only at certain times of the year, as relisting is against the mp tos.
