Though I'm not the seller, let me assure you, it is a FOR SALE item. There
is no auctioning involved, therefore the original poster was correct in
using FS, and you are incorrect is telling him/her to use FA.

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/radio/swap-guide/ :

It has become common practice to append "FS" ("For Sale"), "WTB"
("Want To Buy"), or "WTT" ("Want To Trade") to the subject line of an
ad. With the new online auction service, eBay, we ask that you include
"FA" ("For Auction") and also "eBay" to your subject line if you
choose to place an auction notice. (Note that a recent straw poll
revealed that many readers are not happy seeing auction notices on
r.r.swap - post such notices at your own risk! If you fail to append
"FA" and "eBay" in your subject line, you will surely be flamed.)
