A level 2 character has the option to have two Magic Items if he sells one of them and gets something different, for example he sells his boots of spider climbing and wants to add a +2 longsword to his character in the boots place can he do that since he still only has the two magical items, or does he have to wait until level 3 to add the sword regardless of selling the boots?
Sorry if not very concisely asked.
This question may have been asked before, but I am little fuzzy on treasure stuff.

Once a PC picks a bundle or buys an item it takes up an item slot and should the PC sell that item. The charactor can't buy or pick another item to fill the vacant slot he must wait until his next level when the next item slot becomes available before obtaining a new item. But the PC can still spend money to increase the bonuses for the items the charactor already has.
a PC can only receive one 'found' magic item per level. Once you find a magic item (ie. take it as a treasure bundle), you have used up that slot forever--even if you sell the magic item at a later time, nothing can replace it.
In the original post, if your 2nd level PC wanted to buy a +2 Longsword, he could do so provided he had the gold available to purchase the sword. The PC would not have to sell the boots of spider climbing (unless he needed to in order to raise the gold for the purchase)...so you'd have 3 magic items now (assumign the boots were not sold), 2 found magic items and one bought magic item.

Your chara can buy as many magic items as you wish. AS LONG as you have the money, and the item are not above you lvl. Thus a lvl 2 chara can only buy a lvl 2 and lower magic item. So your chara can not buy a +2 longsword till min of lvl 6 since a standard +2 magic weapon is lvl 6.
As for found magic item. You get one per level up to a max of 30 found quest rewards bundle magic item at LVL 30.
So don't sell the boots and just wait till a +2 weapon is offered up in a quest bundle rewards.
1. When the person levels up say from 2 to 3 can they put a new magic item, that they would then be able to slot since they leveled up, into that old slot? I guess essentially being behind a slot if I am thinking of it right.
2. I was under the impression that a character could use a magic item as long as it is not more than 4 levels above their character level. Thus the 2nd level character could use a +2 magic sword because it is at the 4 levels or lower mark not above. I am running off what I thought was the latest version of the RPGA Character Creation guide, has it changed? and where can I get the new one if it has? Not trying to argue, just trying to make sure I am up to date. thanks again as always.
just a couple more issues,

You get to take 1 FOUND magic item per level which fills a slot on your Advancement Tracking sheet. If you dont choose magic items at a level that slot is still there to be filled. So at 3rd level you could have a maximum of 3 found magic items. If you sell one of your found items that slot is still taken and can not be refilled.

The current version is 1.7. And you can use a FOUND item that is no more than 4 levels above your character level. You can choose an item in a bundle more than 4 levels above you but can not use it until you meet the above condition. You can not purchase a magice item above your level.

At level 3 you would have a total of 3 found item slots. Don't think of it as a 1st level slot, a 2nd level slot, and a 3rd level slot. Just know that you have 3 total.
If one of them has been filled previously, then in a mod where you go from level 2 to level 3, you would have two empty slots waiting to be filled
A slot can be left empty in perpetuity. You could hold a slot until level 30 if you so desire.
