To relist a sold item on Trade Me, navigate through your account settings to find the option for sold listings and initiate the relisting process if the original sale didn't go through.
Detailed Steps to Relist on Trade Me
If a sale has fallen through on Trade Me, you can typically relist the item by following a few simple steps within your account dashboard. This process is designed for situations where the buyer hasn't completed the purchase or the sale has been cancelled.
Here is the standard method to relist a previously sold item:
- Select Sold from My Trade Me. Start by logging into your Trade Me account and navigating to the section that lists your sold items. This is usually found within the 'My Trade Me' area.
- Select the listing. Once you are viewing your sold listings, click on the specific item that you wish to relist.
- Under 'If the sale falls through', select relist this item. On the page detailing the sold listing, look for an option specifically provided for cases where the sale did not proceed. There you will find the option to relist the item.
By following these steps, you can quickly get your item back up for sale on the platform after a failed transaction.
Why Relist a Sold Item?
The primary reason to relist a sold item, as indicated by the relisting option's location "If the sale falls through", is when the original transaction could not be completed. This might be due to non-payment from the buyer, agreement between parties to cancel the sale, or other issues that prevent the successful transfer of the item. Relisting allows the seller to find a new buyer without creating an entirely new listing from scratch.
