Trade Me Question... hmmm

Postby MrOizo » Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:09 am

When selling a car as a classified, is there an easier way than having another whole listing if you were to relist as a Auction?

cant seem to see a way of doing it :?

Yeah what Santan00b said :P

the free re-listing is just exactly that, a free re-listing of what you previously had, to change from one to the other is gonna cost, sucks I know but thats trademe

If your car listing has expired and you didn't find a buyer, you can relist it for free, as long as it is within 45 days of end date.

Please note that when relisting a car you cannot change the orignial listing type i.e. you can't change an auction to a classified or vice versa.

If you change the listing type you will be charged a new listing fee.

I just checked my account history and there is definitely only 1 charge for $24.95 - they did not charge me when i changed from classified to auction! I guess they have since decided they can rip us off more effectively by charging to chance listing type...

email from trademe for my auction that closed wrote:Relist your auction
It is free to relist your motors auction within 30 days of it expiring.
To increase the likelihood of your item selling, we recommend that you:
Try lowering the start price.
Try lowering the reserve price.


Notice the difference :wink: So which one is the correct one :roll: :lol: someone needs to update their help pages I think

I know thats what you mean :P

I just found it rather funny they say one thing on a help page & a totally different thing in the automated email :lol:

I agree with you, you should be able to select the tpye of listing when re-listing and expired auction.
