I messaged trade me on the weekend and I have not heard back. I DID place a bid and obviously it was removed manually. There was no reason to have it removed oother than to benifet the seller to make a transaction for the offer he had was openly asked in questions section and he accepted it, he changed it. YOU cannot remove and alter a auction once there has been a bid. I did not know the seller nor had communicated to the seller before this. After the seller did this dirty act, I let the seller know. I would have bedded higher. and happily paid more than what he sold it for but he cheated ...

I made a bid. I wonder if they canceled he original. 

You see in one of the pics that it shows a little re lsitng with an arrow. But when clicked on it it was never re listed. You also see that the seller agreed to a price and said they were changing it to a buy now as per question and replies. This was an active Auction 

Is it legal to change a running auction to a buy now that wasnt???????????? That Auction did not run to the time it was to end. 

Yes I did email Trade Me support, they never replied. As for the Trade Me seller, I placed a question on one of there other many auctions on this matter they did, in turn they had me blacklisted. After I have explained, and you can see clearly here by these images the seller has cheated. This is not on, What does Trade me do, nothing....

So, the image at the start shows that it was re listed but when I clicked on it, it was not re listed. And the Auction never ended. I never won nor lost. As you can see the Seller agreed on a price and told them to try now.... it was altered by the seller

It only appears as re listed but it was not. I think they canceled it. Maybe the did re listed it brief to allow the person to purchase it as to the agreed price they openly made on the questions and replies from both on the original posting I placed the bid on. Ut does not show that I lost the Auction. The Auction never ended. There were 5 other people also interested int he Auction. I have taken photo images of the Auction and the questions and answers, how it played out. I have also given you trade me the ref number which clearly shows what happened. YOU CAN REMOVE AUCTIONS and this clea...

Hi.  I have been a trade me member for many years. I've mostly been the buyer. Almost all trades have gone well.  I have 3 red faces, but, it's the other party who were bad behaved/, and done wrong, and this red face and  writing ressponses that gives them the power to cover up there own lies. and wrong doing when they have been caught out. Once I sold 2 diamond rings separately, and accidently. sent the wrong and more expensive ring to the buyer who said they had paid and with them saying that  me beomg going in good faith I posted, but I had sent the ring, later I discovered by mail my ba...
