The reality is that you shouldn't have to go through such a long-winded process. The search engines aren't up to scratch I'm afraid. 

S - Transparency is required. How is it acceptable that you are no longer aware of whom is requesting an offer? I don't wish to offer out to someone with poor feedback or to someone that continually requests offers & is just a tyre kicker. I would err on the side of adding these members to my blacklist, rather than offering out to, but I guess I won't know whom they are now, as they hidden by anonymity.    

I eventually could add a Buy Now but I had to do it in two stages. I'm not going to add anything negative about Trade Me's ongoing issues but I certainly don't have anything positive to add.

I wish it was as simply as that but unfortunately they don't always show anymore.

Thank you for your response & it's helpful to know that but crikey that's a nuisance.

Still no joy on my desktop, I concede defeat!

Hi there, my search wasn't for bottles being sold out of Oamaru. My search was for bottles with Oamaru in the title of the listing.

Trade Me's apparently all about making itself a secure & safe site, yet we are no longer able to see whom we are potentially dealing with. I do not wish to deal with folks with excessive negative feedback, plain & simple, nor people having the opportunity to anonymously badger me time & time again for a FPO/relist. Cheers.

Yes, it's rubbish and they do charge for withdrawing/ending an auction early. My advise would be to alter your auction to be clearly labelled a LISTING ERROR, remove all photographs & meaningful description & let it run for the shortest possible duration of time. While this shell of a listing is running to its inevitable point of not selling, list in it's intended category & how you wanted for the listing to originally appear. 

I'm trying to edit a listing by moving a book from the Non-Fiction - Other category to the Non-Fiction - New Zealand category.
