Hi Callum, thank you for your reply but I don't mark sense of your comment "But don't forget it only captures the title of the listing. Not the description". As the search pertained only to key words in the title. Expired listings searches have never been as unreliable as they are at present. 

What a Walter Hadlee you are then champ!

Michelle, you're spot on there, although that was also the case 10 months ago, so it's not really much of an update is it?  

I must agree it would be lovely, if listings that were placed on your watchlist, ultimately remained there through the close of the auction. Is the anniversary date of this problem nigh on the horizon?

Yes, the saving auction numbers is laughable, pen & paper at the ready! Trade Me was really so good for so long but it's now teetering on being obsolete for many Kiwis. The fees scared many off & the various continuing unresolved problems aren't winning many favours with those that remain. I'd love to see the sell-through percentages, I'm picking that they are at a very low level. 

Unfortunately similar issues have been ongoing for the past several months. Trade Me definitely does not view it as a high priority & there seems to be no end in sight regarding improvements being made.

Trade Me have not been able to improve upon this in a good 3 months now. I guess it's a work in progress.

Could Trade Me please let me know when they have sorted out their time-keeping issues & it is safe to place a listing again. Thank you.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/books/bulk/listing/4938947267 It's currently still on my watchlist and showing 29 mins to close but it has closed half an hour ago. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/books/bulk/listing/4938952361 Same with this one.

Sick & tired of the same problems. Today, Tues, has been the worst day so far for it. Every item on my watchlist disappeared post-auction & were able to be found only via looking up expired auctions but it still then doesn't list the bidders or enable you to view unanswered questions. I too have also asked for answers from Trade Me & am awaiting some form of response but that may ultimately prove less than helpful. T Me was a pretty reliable site for a longtime & now it's majorly on the slide. I guess Marketplace will just continue to take their business & sales away in droves.
