However, as our market now operates 24\/7, there may be a period of time between when new information becomes available and when eligibility statuses are updated.<\/p>\n<p>All trades made while a business is eligible will stand, even if we had already received information that may subsequently lead us to mark the business as ineligible. <a href=\"#\">You can read more about our eligibility criteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve improved our platform with clearer labels that show you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shareholder-Only Trading<\/strong> \u2013 Opportunities exclusive to existing investors, typically due to founder requests or contractual limitations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-Investor Access<\/strong> \u2013 Businesses available to everyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You continue to have access to over 700+ businesses, ready for you to buy and sell when they meet eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>90-Day Listing Period<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>All sell requests will be active for <strong>90 days<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>If no buyer is found, your listing will expire<\/li>\n<li>Expired listings will <strong>NOT<\/strong> be renewed \u2014 submit a new sell request to continue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Commitment to Sell<\/h3>\n<p>When a buyer is found, action is required within 3 days. You must either accept or cancel the matched sell request in this period.<\/p>\n<p>Cancelling or not responding to a sell request will result in a <strong>60-day selling restriction<\/strong> for that business.<\/p>\n<p>Please only list shares you genuinely intend to sell. This penalty will be applied starting in the May trading cycle.<\/p>\n<h3>Enhanced Transaction Tracking<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Web platform:<\/strong> View activity from the last 30 days (replaces &#8220;last trading cycle&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>All transaction history remains available in your account page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Stay Informed<\/h2>\n<p>Our Secondary Market communications are evolving.
