    You can get to it by Searching first from the home page or other pages where it does show. eg search for chainsaw, then select Used, then navigate using the category headings and although the used/new filter doesn't show, the search locks in to used with the correct &condition=used, being visible at the end of the search url. eg https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/business-farming-industry/farming-forestry/forestry/chainsaws-parts/search?search_string=chainsaw&user_region=100&condition=used Drops the returned results down from 5806 to 198 used.

    Trademe have removed this facility on the new site, so it's not possible to identify who you offer to, anymore. No idea if they are going to bring back this feature in the future.

    It's really annoying getting emails like this every day that say your search, when it's not a search, it's a member's listings. I have turned off half my fav emails now as this really annoys me. It's such a quick easy fix to align it to how they used to be worded. A 5 min job, and 2 mins to verify, yet 2 months later, nothing has changed.

    The seller can decline any offer they wish to, for any reason. They buyer can offer any price they like. Sounds like the seller simply wants they Buy Now price, or higher. It's up to you to offer whatever you want.

    You can also try other searches eg "resources for teachers" 233 results, or "teacher's resources" 526 results. Neither of these searches return Job listings.

    That seems extremely strange. Listing failure messages do not magically become " 'straightened out' overnight" by themselves, unless you have taken action of some sort. Not sure what you mean by the top three listings are showing in blue? Do mean the top three no longer have the red Listing failure message in the status column, and they now show the word Listing, in blue. Maybe you didn't know the words in the status column change depending on the message being displayed. Error messages are always Red eg Listing failure, Out of stock, Withdrawn Standard messages are Black eg Active, Inactiv...

    Fixed price offer wording also shows as a help tip when you move over the column heading in MP, like it does with all the other columns too. Listing failure simply means, MP tried to create a listing from your saved product but was unable to. You always need to click in to the product and read the listing failure reason in the red warning box at the top of the product to find the reason, as many reasons can cause a listing creation to fail. Once you have corrected the problem and saved the product, the listing failure message will clear and beside the product in the Status column will show ...

    Yep, been like that for years, since they introduced the apps. Lots of posts over the years about it, but many are no longer on site. Here's one though from 2 years ago. Emojis in feedback – Help - Trade Me I don't think it's on their priority list though. I just found I had a reply to an email I sent them about it back in Sept 2018. Hi Gary,I definitely understand the confusion here. You're right, it is just someone using an emoji from their mobile that doesn't quite work with our system. Our tech team are looking to fix this up - this will likely come through in future Preview updates a f...

    The very first sentence in the emails is just all wrong. "Today's 10* listings matching your saved search for" 1. It's not a list of today's listings. It's a list of recently listed items, that may have been listed today, or yesterday, or some other time. It would be much better to say, Recently listed items matching your saved search for.... 2. I know there is a * after the 10, and small print at the bottom to explain further, but again, the Today's 10* listings, is just wrong. Better to say, 10 recently listed items matching your saved search for.... Today means today, this day, not yeste...

    I haven't done it in a few years, but pretty sure it used to register in MP and show in the extra column, how many relists it had left on the promotion. eg feature relist 2 of 3. I always used to do a column sort by feature so I could see the ones affected easily. Hopefully things have not changed in this respect. It also used to carry over the bold option, even when the feature had ended. Not sure if it still does this, but as it's no cost, it doesn't really matter, until you come to do a sort by extras column again, and you see all the bold ones at the top. I had to export and reimport to...
