@curiouspaul1 I tried to modify and use your Bot in my university so students can sell and buy things.
So, a few things I wish you could show/teach:
Divide posts/ads into categories but not businesses.
Also, I noticed that when fetching posts/ads from the databases sometimes it fails because, perhaps the user added unnecessary space or capitalization error (i tried to put a bunch of lower().strip() everywhere)
In addition, it would be amazing if SME and Customer both had the same functionality (both can buy and sell).
And I kinda failed to add Back buttons everywhere, but managed to add Exit button (just used you /cancel function)
Lastly, some buttons make require to be pressed two times, do you know why?

The bot: @ucaStudentStore_bot

you're also welcome to join me in implementing these, i see you;ve forked the repository already. Btw there's an option to filter post/ads by category already.
