PSA: Crosslist’s autodelist only works while your own computer stays awake with Chrome open — here’s what that actually means

Asked support how it actually works. Turns out autodelist isn’t a background service running on their end it’s a browser extension that has to be actively polling from \*your\* machine. Per their own requirements: your computer has to stay on and unsleeping, Chrome has to stay open, the extension has to stay active, and you have to stay logged into every marketplace in that same browser. If any of that lapses, sale detection and delisting just… wait until it’s active again. That gap is what caused my double sale.

When I asked why they don’t just run this server-side instead of depending on customers leaving their own laptop on 24/7, the answer was “it’s not that easy.” Fair enough for platforms with tighter restrictions, but that doesn’t explain why it’s built this way even on marketplaces without those limits.

Also worth knowing: their Vinted integration wasn’t TOS-compliant, and multiple users (myself included) got banned for “bot activity” as a result. Support’s response was that most bans aren’t permanent — mine is.
