Changes to auction withdrawal process
From today withdrawing any auction will incur a minimum $2 withdrawal fee. By placing a listing on Trade Me you are making a commitment to sell the item through Trade Me and withdrawing an auction before it is due to close frustrates potential bidders.
You will no longer be able to withdraw auctions less than one hour before they close, this is to minimise the disappointment caused to potential bidders.
