User ability to delete incomplete listing

[rainie +]

Hi,
Is it possible for users to manually delete their incomplete listings in their Order History. I ask because I have a number of different memberships at differing costs...a user may mistakenly choose a membership, abandon it and move on to the correct one. Looking at their order history at a later date, they may then want to delete the wrong one...
Any way to allow this?
Many thanks.

By design 68C just shows users their listings. Orders and listings are linked with the order itself containing details of the transaction while listings hold the specific ad details.

I beleive the idea is that regardless of whether people make a mistake when placing an ad (which creates an order) the site admin may want to know the order was created and its state if incomplete. This can be helpful in many ways including but not limited to resolving any possible disagrements on what was or was not purchased as well as possibly helping to identify areas of the site that need to be made more clear so people dont partially complete an order.

Thanks for the reply.
Even so, I would still like to offer users the ability to delete incomplete orders.
Is it possible to do so, and if yes, how do I go about this?

I guess if any issues arise it would be a paypal (who I am using to collect payments) issue.
I mean, all memberships are paid for, (not ad placements) so I'd be able to refer to paypal to sort out whether a membership was paid for or not.

Thanks again.

Things like this can get a bit tricky. Is it possible? Probably. How you would go about doing it? That I cant answer, it would likely take quite a bit of research looking at how the table data ties together, how to tap into it, display it and make sure you only allow incomplete ones to be deleted and then testing to make sure it all works as planned. Its likely not a simple 5 minute task.
