Why do I want to deactivate my listings and do nothing with my water lilies for the next 9 months or so? A. Because Trade Me emailed me Wednesday just gone, saying I should consider going 'In Trade' on both my listings... Advertising my pond plants and goldfish is a pastime pleasure...or at least it was meant to be...  Can someone please help me deactivate my two listings, please?    

Oh, ok...good info. but bad timing LOL. I am seriously considering doing the opposite approach and putting both listings on the lowest 'rung', the free, no price listing for say, 40 days then relisting, again the same free- no cost listing for another 40 days, and so on until September 2026. Why? Because the whole aim of what I am trying to do is (simply) to DEACTIVATE both my listings for nine months approx and then simply push one single button (its called ACTIVATE, if I recall correctly) and i'm 'back in 'business' again'...It worked perfectly this September just gone... Why, do I want t...

Yes, it does help. Thank you. Thing is both my wife and I did searches both for water lilies and water lily plants and neither of my listings showed up. Weird...

Have been trying to send this screen shot all afternoon. I only got it here after I shifted it to my laptop, as a photo which I then copied and pasted... This is the original page on 'My Products when I was initially trying to deactivate both listings. It all comes down to this, the initial fail, I believe, not this 'Provide valid shipping option' second thing. That only came up at a later date when attempting to update something secondary.

No luck so far...'If this is an older product you have not updated to the new template system you need to do that'. Please define 'older product'? I have been advertising these plants since early September...this year.

O.M.G. Thank you for your answer/s. I am and will keep going through that shipping option piece...and I am just clicking on all the selections...wish me luck. 

Thank you. I have now done that. But, in attempting to update it races me back to the top where it says, in red...' Please correct the following issue(s): Provide valid shipping option Now, I haven't changed the shipping option anywhere/any time. Why would it be saying this now?  

Thank you. But what do you mean exactly when you say 'go inside the product'? What do I click on? Where?

What a pity TradeMe didn't answer my similar question when I asked it 5 days ago, the difference being that I wanted to transfer out only the bulk of my Ping balance and not all of it. Not knowing how to do it or even if could be done (a partial withdrawal) caused me a lot of grief. I couldn't do it in the end and had to withdraw it all, just what I didn't want to do.
