Remove broken/non working items from the webstore/petalshop if there are no immediate plans to fix
Submitted by redstoneisgreat
Suggestion
I'm aware that this is an issue in Factions, though this can possibly apply to SMP too. I'm also making this suggestion not just for "now", but for future reference (even if there are no immediate plans to address this, I would like to see it handled better for future seasons)
There are several items in Factions which are either known not to work, or that I very strongly suspect do not work. Some of these items have been known to not work for close to 3 months.

Sell wands (unless this was since fixed, 100% confirmed) - https://discord.com/channels/816561229601964032/818490405708496959/1532551323789299784
Blueprints (not all blueprints, only some, not 100% confirmed, but the exact same blueprints in the regular /shop do not work)
Newer issues (post network overhaul). These are not confirmed but very likely as the rank perks don't work

I don't think players would lose money from this. I imagine that if someone bought one of these, and it didn't work, they would be given a refund.
I personally think that this should be handled proactively rather than reactively. What I mean by this is, if it's KNOWN that an item for sale does not work, and there are no plans to fix it, it should be removed from sale so it doesn't become an issue later if someone buys it.
I do realize this is likely seen as low priority, particularly for Factions/SMP. The assumption may be that the chance of someone buying these items is low. I'm bringing this up partly because I want to see this handled better in future seasons.
