Hi mastatrad3r listings from your watchlist that have closed not appearing on your lost list has been confirmed by Trade Me as a bug in their system that they are aware of and trying to fix as you have said it affects some listings and not others which is very strange. I posted about the issue a few weeks ago you can see that post by clicking the link below. Also it would pay to let Trade Me know that the issue is still happening either by contacting them using the live chat option or clicking on the tell us what you think section at the bottom of most pages that way they can get more infor...

Hi S yes the listings do come up when I use the listing number to search them but as they are not in my lost list I have to find them by using the expired listing search as I don't have the listing number. I now screenshot my watchlist so I can remember what listings I had on there so I can then find them using the listing title in the expired listing search if I want to when they haven't appeared on my lost list at the time they close. Usually I am not interested in most of my lost listings but some I like to keep a track of.

Paula BidBud has been around since 2012 I believe so it has been 11 years now it’s trusted and used by many Trade Me users it has great features for both buyers and sellers that Trade Me does not offer. If you have concerns about the site I would suggest you contact the developer from the contact link on the BidBud website.

Trade Me sent me a email the other day after seeing my post and advised the issue I am having is due to the upgrade of the site with some listings having issues while others are not affected. For me the issue is the same on both the desktop version and the app when my listing closes I can see the number of views it had but not the watchers so when you get a fixed price offer request from a member you can’t make them a offer as the watchers are not visible on the closed listing even though it had watchers when it closed. I do note at this stage this issue is only happening on one of my list...

Hi Rob for me that has been happening for quite sometime try using BidBud to view the closed listing at least on there you can see the closing price and the bidding history which you can no longer do on Trade Me.

Hi Kris did you use Ping to purchase your item as you will be covered if the item does not turn up. If you are concerned about the seller you could try using the live chat option to chat live with someone from Trade Me just go to the Contact Us section at the bottom of any page and then click on the blue speech icon on the bottom right side of that page and type in talk to a person you will then be connected to a Trade Me staff member that you can then chat with live. They will be able to look into the seller in more detail and hopefully speed up the process for you. The live chat is only a...

Hi Salomon if you have certain members who’s listings you don’t want to see in your search results you could try using BidBud it has a feature where you can blacklist a member and then that members listings will no longer appear in any of your search results. You do need to blacklist the member using BidBud for the feature to work. Refer to the section “Blacklisted members not shown in search” from the BidBud website here https://www.bidbud.co.nz/about. BidBud also has a number of other helpful features for both buyers and sellers that Trade Me does not offer.
