Changing from a 'Buy Now only' to an auction

Hi M. You can't. Cheapest way is to wait for it to close and then relist it how you want. You can edit it to shorten the amount of time it's listed for if you want to hurry things along. Alternatively you can withdraw it immediately and cop a $3 fee, then relist as auction. Trade Me might credit the $3 for you if you explain the mistake you made.

oh no, listed yesterday on the 50% off success fee yesterday, so any re-list will cop the full fee, how annoying! Didn't see the option come up anywhere

I'd just leave it be then. These days everyone loves a buynow. Set it the price you are willing to sell for. You can edit that at least if you need to.

its so anyoying as my mistaking listed as a buy now

Kia Ora Derek,

For reference, all listings can be withdrawn for free within the first hour of being listed.

You may want to check the withdraw fee charges Help page as not all Listings incur a fee - Buy Now only auctions is one example of this.

Reference: Withdrawing listings – Help - Trade Me

Meantime Callum's given the alternative workarounds above as in closing your Listing end date earlier Or contacting TradeMe staff direct for assistance through "Live Chat" during manned Business hours, type Talk to person in the chat bot window to bypass the bot & be transferred to a Real Person/ Staff. - Cheers.
