TIA

At this time, you can't change the "sell an item" link / button.

At this time, there is not an option to set an expiration date for a listing. It sounds like you have noticed that Panjo can optionally create a thread post for each listing (ad) created. You can impose any rules you want on those thread posts. Panjo sends email reminders to sellers every two week to remind them to delist any listings that are outdated or no longer available. Panjo automatically marks listings as 'sold' or 'unavailable' when the status of a listing changes based on a transaction. Rather than think of legacy listings as bloat, depending on the nature of your listings, you may wish to think of them as SEO-rich user generated content. It is probably in your interest to keep them around. However, the needs of your forum may be different than most.
