Once a unit is listed on Wholesale Whale, its status is tracked and updated automatically based on time, activity, and DMS data (if synced). You can manage listings, track offer activity, and perform listing actions from the My Listings page.
🟢 Listing Status
As wholesale units are listed, their status updates dynamically based on actions taken by buyers and sellers. A unit's current status determines what actions are available for that listing.
Listed

Accepting offers from other dealers
If manually listed or uploaded via file, it will expire in 7 days
Expired
Unit has been live but the 7-day window has elapsed (for non-synced inventory)
Still viewable for 3 days, but cannot receive new offers
You may relist it during this window
Unlisted
Unit is not visible on the marketplace
Offers on this unit are automatically closed
Only appears in your dashboard
Connecting
The seller wants to connect with the buyer regarding their submitted offer
The listing can still receive offers and is visible on the marketplace in this status
The seller cannot invite other buyers to connect until they either cancel the connection invite or close the connection once it's established

💎 Listing Standards Matter
Wholesale Whale is a wholesale marketplace, not a retail classifieds site. All listed units are expected to be available for wholesale purchase and accurately represented.
This is a peer-to-peer environment for licensed professionals.
Platform Expectations
Listings must be real, available, and intended to move at wholesale
Consistently ignoring offers, using the platform to “advertise” inventory, or listing units not truly for sale may result in peer penalties
Peer Accountability
After each connection, dealers can submit private ratings (communication, professionalism, etc.)
If you encounter fake or misleading listings, you'll have the opportunity to report that behavior through the close connection survey
Repeated abuse will affect a dealership’s visibility, connection trust, and credibility across the platform
❓ FAQs
What happens when a listing expires?
It becomes invisible to buyers, but you have a 3-day window to relist it manually before it's marked unlisted.
Can I edit a listing after it's connected?
No. Listing actions are locked until the connection is closed.
How many listings can I have?
There’s no limit. You can list as many units as your subscription and inventory allows.
