Just because there is a seat open in C+ does not mean the system will automatically open up WU upgrade inventory and upgrade someone to it. Also, OP said he saw a W class seat for sale. I think the main point is there no automatic shift from the Standby list to a confirmed seat just because the seat opened. You need to actually call for the SDC when a seat is shown for sale.
