Hi Michelle, yes Trade Me now has a new rule regarding professional seller listings and watchlists. A watch listed item will only roll over and get added back to your watchlist if the relisted item is in New Condition, is Buy Now only, and closed less than 14 days ago.

Dear Trade Me, please revert back to your old favourite/new listings emails which worked well and enabled us to quickly scan through and find new auctions to bid on. The new favourite/new listings emails only list a few auctions now, meaning we have to click the link at the bottom of the page, which then takes us onto the Trade Me favourites site, which then means we have to scan through and find the particular favourites category, open it to find in many cases 100's of listings we now have to sift through. Most of us simply do not have the time to do this, as a result we will certainly sto...
