Introducing ‘Good for 2 relists’

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 10:00am, Wed 27 Jun 2018

Today we released a new option for sellers that want to get more value when using any of our promotional extras, e.g. Gallery or Super Feature.

When choosing your promotional extra you can also purchase ‘Good for 2 relists’. If you need to relist, you’ll get that promotional extra up to two more times on the same listing (without having to pay for it again).
