Change to bid withdrawal rules

Written by Trade Me staff at 12:00am, Thu 18 Apr 2002

The buyer may no longer request to have their bid removed from Trade Me.
This feature was needed in the early days of the site when people could join up and place million dollar bids on items with no intention of paying.
However, as new buyers are no longer able to do this without authenticating, the feature is no longer needed.

No Success Fees for Cars and Houses

Written by Trade Me staff at 12:00am, Thu 18 Apr 2002

The fee structure for listings in the 'Cars, Boats & Motorbikes' and 'Houses and Sections for Sale' categories are going to change from a percentage based success fee,
to a fixed success fee regardless of the final bid price. For a limited time, there will be NO SUCCESS FEES for listings for cars, bikes, moterbikes and houses. An announcement will be made when the fixed fees are introduced later in the year.
