Editing with app unticks "Only allow bids from Authenticated members"
Hi team, think I may have raised this last year but it's still an ongoing quirk of editing a listing with the app on my phone (Samsung).
I always enable the optional "Only allow bids from Authenticated members" when creating listings. Just one of those little things that can help on the other side. Most of the time I avoid using the app to edit listings as can have unexpected consequences. Odd little things that make you scratch your head. A couple of those things have been corrected in recent times, so thank you for that.
But when I do edit a listing in the app, usually because the change is time sensitive, it always disables "Only allow bids from Authenticated members". I usually follow up as soon as possible to check and re-enable the setting. The exception is if bidding has already started then the change is denied. It has done this with the app across different configurations on Samsung phones for me and isn't specific to one device.
The code is switching off "Only allow bids from Authenticated members" when I've specifically enabled it, which I think justifies checking the code associated with it.
Hope someone can take a look.
Thank you

While it doesn't particularly answer your question, I find the authenticated/unauthenticated is pretty meaningless these days. A potential buyer can become authenticated so many ways that I'm sure most are. Over my 20 odd years on here I've never ticked the box. I've had problems of course but certainly not biased towards those few who are unauthenticated.
Try listing without ticking it and monitor to see if you get problems with those buyers. Doesn't fix the bug. But you won't have to worry about it :)
