I often come across Marketplace sales threads where the OP has thousands of posts, but their last meaningful non-sales activity was nearly ten years ago. Virtually all of their activity comes from variations of 'bump' and 'PM sent'. On a few occasions, I've even seen Jr. VIPs whose initial 100 qualifying posts came almost entirely from short Marketplace replies.
I'd suggest that much like Lounge replies are excluded from the post count, Marketplace replies should be as well. They may be active sellers, but I wouldn't count commercial activity the same as broader forum participation.
