Bids placed on too many items

Kia ora caman1, there is a limit to the number of listings members can bid on, it sounds like you've hit that. If you try again later, you should be able to bid again, sorry for the confusion.

Since when has there been a limit?

An auction site that limits how many bids you can place? Surely not.

There are many limits on Trade Me. Always has been. You can't place too many bids. You can't do too many buynows. You can't ask too many questions. And one I found out recently, there is even a limit on how many items you can report via Community Watch. 

I find they are pretty generous though.  Maybe caman1 can come back and tell us how many items they were bidding on. I suspect it's going to be quite a high number.....

I once got a warning that I couldnt put anymore items on my watchlist because I had reached the limit

Wonders what the CW limit was that you reached Callum? I have made 52 reports this morning ok. 

I wasn't counting but I would say over 100? I made the mistake of doing searches for 021* and 027* one day. This brings up auctions with a phone number in the description. Hundreds of 'em. 

I was able to do reports again the next day, so it was a 12 or 24 hour limit. 

Now that success fees are gone for casuals, a phone number in the description probably isn't the big issue (for fee avoidance) that it once was. 

Ahh, ok. Maybe I'll keep going and do some more from one of my fav searches. Thousands to choose from so will work my way through and see if 100 is the limit.

Problem with contact details in description is that it makes it easier for scammers to get in to accounts, and it's not just casual sellers doing it either. Even TM Stores do it.

Yeah they action the casuals much faster than stores. I think they give stores the chance to correct it themselves first or something. Or maybe it's because they know a listing tool is used, so pointless for Trade Me to edit the live auction. It seems like you have to report stores for weeks before TM will act. If they even do at all. 

Just got to the limit. An error message in red flashed up but I was too slow to read it. Said something about the number of new announcements.... This was after 92 CWs, ie it happened on the 93rd. Tried again on a different listing, and same deal.

Looks like it might be a limit per calendar day rather than 24 hours, as just managed to CW more now, which is inside 24 hours since last ones. The new ones in my fav search email this morning I had actually already CWd yesterday, so will do todays from saved search live.

Thanks for confirming Gary. Weird number @ 93 to hit the limit. 

Kia ora Trade Me Support,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm writing regarding my listing (Listing ID: 6004918147), as I'm concerned there may be an issue affecting its visibility.

When creating the listing, I purchased the Featured upgrade (approximately $3.95) because I urgently need to sell the item as quickly as possible. I chose this upgrade specifically because it was recommended as the best option to maximise exposure and attract buyers.

Unfortunately, several hours after the listing went live, it has only received three views. This is very unusual compared with what I expected, and I'm worried there may be a technical issue preventing the listing from being shown correctly. Given the value of the item, the competitive price, and the Featured upgrade, I'm concerned it may not be appearing where it should.

I'm currently dealing with an urgent family emergency, which is why selling this item promptly is so important to me. I appreciate that you can't guarantee a sale, but I would be extremely grateful if someone could urgently review the listing to confirm it is being displayed correctly in search results, featured placements, recommendations, and anywhere else it should appear as part of the Featured package.

If there is any issue with the listing or its promotion, I'd sincerely appreciate anything that can be done to correct it as soon as possible.

I'm a first-time Trade Me user and was hoping to move my business to Trade Me, but if this isn't fixed urgently I may not continue.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look into this. I genuinely appreciate any assistance or urgency you can provide.

Kind regards,

James
