Limited Cart Time
complete
Alexander Davidson
Users can have books in carts forever and never buy them, even with multiple offers being constantly sent their way. They should only be allowed to have books in their cart for 7 days. After 7 days, Pango can ask them to buy or release the book, hopefully motivating them to actually purchase the book.

We have added an automatic TTL (time to live) on carts. If buyer has been inactive with their cart for more than 180 days, the items will expire.

We are limiting items to 180 days in the cart. That might seem like a lot, but it's the start in helping keep carts more realtime.

Looking at this from the opposite view. I keep books in my cart for a long time because I don't always have the extra money to spend on them, but I have certain copies that I'm interested in buying for sure when I do. My shelf is for all the titles I'm interested in, and I have so many interests that the ones I want to purchase get lost. If the cart turned limited time like that, and deleted the ones I'm interested in. It would seriously turn me away from shopping here.

Brooke Pages I agree. If someone has a lot of listings it takes me a while to go through everything because I never buy just one book. Also, if they have just one book I want I'll keep it in my cart so I can see if they get other listings I want later. I do remove items from my cart frequently, but having them removed would not allow me to revisit the seller.
As a seller, it doesn't bother me at all if someone has a book of mine in their cart. But I'm curious if cart items have any influence on how people are shown those shops.

Super agree with this, why have a cart and a shelf? Pick one, if it’s the cart where’s the sense of urgency?

Or ask them to accept or decline the offer? Once they accept or decline the book is automatically removed from the cart?
