I'm stuck in a DP paradox...

    I have a thread in the Vouchers section selling Google AdWords vouchers, but there was a minimum of 5 per customer at $4 each which came out to $20. Now, I decided to remove that minimum order amount so a person could pay $4 for only one voucher. This is under the $5 minimum for posting a WTS thread in the Vouchers section, so I created a new thread in the Cheap Stuff section. I edited the original thread in the Vouchers section saying that it could be deleted, but instead they deleted the new thread in the Cheap Stuff section.

    So, this is a kind of no-win situation. Sell a voucher for $4 in the Vouchers section, get deleted for selling something under $5. Post a new thread in the Cheap Stuff section, get deleted for creating duplicate threads. In the end, I'm unable to sell my vouchers on DP for $4 because I'm stuck in a paradox. LOL!

    You may want to report your thread and have it moved to cheap stuffs section. Not really a paradox...

    Actually this is the definition of paradox. I can do something about it, but that doesn't make it any less so. You might be thinking of a causality loop.

    Paradox - A statement or proposition that, despite sound reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems ... self-contradictory.

    Causality loop - A state in which an individual continually repeats the same series of actions into infinity.

    Now that's a paradox, you are contradicting yourself.

    Anyway, I've given you the simplest solution of your problem, either take it or leave it.. Your wish.
