Withdrawn auction I was interested in
AnsweredA member in Auckland had a vehicle I was interested in for sale they sold it prior to auction finishing, and they put that vehicle had sold, but reserve had not been reached and questions weren't answered and there were bids on it by the same person. Can a Seller do this?

Hi Wendi, I'm sorry to read you missed out on that VW.
There can be different reasons why sellers withdraw listings and we certainly wouldn't expect it to be because they've sold outside of the auction process. We take that conduct seriously and take the appropriate action.
If you'd like us to look into this for you, you can reach the team on Live Chat and they can take some details.

Hi just wondering why an auction I was bidding on has been withdrawn I was leading the bid and now its gone. Can someone please advise me to what's going on as I think this isn't fair at all.

If you look in your Items I lost folder, you should see a reason beside the listing. Here are a few recent ones from my items I lost folder. Obviously if Withdrawn by Trademe, then it's a good thing and may have saved you getting scammed, but if if it's withdrawn by the seller, then the reasons for it could be numerous.
