Trade Me charges randomly for Vehicle relisting??

Kia Ora Wilson,

What type of Vehicle are you Relisting? - How many Vehicles do you List within the same 12 months?

With Car Listings a Casual Seller may List one to nine within the same 12 months - Any amount over this nine becomes a Trader, This plan has different listing options, fees and benefits. Members who qualify as a Registered Motor Vehicle Trader qualify for this Trader plan. - Members who qualify for this are emailed by TradeMe to let you know.

Casual Seller 1-9 Cars within same 12 months:

There is No fee for relisting a basic listing However there are fees to relist if you select a standard or premium listing bundle. - Renewal fees for the standard & premium listing bundles are at a reduced price. 

All Listing Categories & Types have to be Relisted within 45 days of the Listing closing - Listing renewals for Cars after the first 90 days are only valid for 30 days - Motorboats Listing durations are up to 28 days - All Other Vehicles Listing durations are up to 14 days.

I'll have the link of my losting attached below.

Expired Listing Number is #: 4512912656

It was NOT expired more than 30days. I tried to relist it the same day as it expired. And it shows I had to pay another $145 to start the listing again. Not the first time this happened.

I saw this listing you may be interested in: 2017 Toyota C-HR Hybrid G Model Qualifies for Reba https://www.trademe.co.nz/4547242173

I had contact motorsinfo@trademe.co.nz and reply was I made an increase of the price which I had NOT done. Sent 3 emails and still no reply. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

Wilson. You seem to be a registered Motor Vehicle Trader. As S indicated, the free relist is for casual sellers only.

You need to look at the menu for traders in the help file. Were you charged $189? That's what I read as the relist charge for a standard listing for a vehicle trader at your asking price for that vehicle.

Yes Wilson,

The Renewal fees charged under the Trader plan are the same as the New Listing Fees - Therefore in this case the charge(s) are likely to be correct.

The Help section you need to refer to is Motors fees – Help - Trade Me - Scroll down the page to Trader plan - 10+ Cars > then to Renewal fees. - Cheers.

Hi there. I paid for the basic package to list my car. First time I have listed a vehicle. Loaded as 3K instead of 30k. Couldn’t edit as a bid came through, so I withdrew the listing. Now to re list I am being charged $189.00. Why??

Hi Julie. Whenever you withdraw something and make a new listing you are always charged again. What you could have done is removed that $3k bid, which would have then allowed you to edit the price. Change the start price to $30K then you wouldn't have had to withdraw it.

However given what has happened if you contact Trade Me I am sure they will refund that fee for you.

I was hoping TM would be nice as I new to this and it was a genuine mistake 🤦‍♀️

Kia ora Julie. Because you withdrew that listing within an hour, the $69 fee was refunded right away. If you start a new listing at the correct price, you will only be paying for that one. Feel free to get in touch using chat if you need a hand with that.

my car auction finished and it didnt sell. now it wont let me relist. i tried to start a new listing and it wont let me do that either. why?????

Hello scottyr26 Some more info here would be helpful. How are you trying to relist? Desktop? App? Are you getting an error? If so what is it? Screenshots are useful as well. 

Kia Ora scottyr26,

How long ago did the Listing close?                                                                                   

Car Listings under auction have to be Renewed within 45 days after the initial 90 days of the Live Listing closing - Beyond the first 45 days a New Listing has to be created which must be done through the Desktop site, the Apps don't have the ability to do this as yet.
