1132607 2010-08-28 23:34:00 I put an item on trade me yesterday,today It says I sold it yesterday,I thought it was always 7 day auction?

I tend not to read these things.

What is the story?

1132608 2010-08-28 23:38:00 did you set a buy now?

1132609 2010-08-28 23:38:00 You can set the length of the auction to less than the usual 7 days, maybe that is what you did. Or did you set a buy now on the auction ? PinoyKiw (9675)

I must be more carefull.

I must have said buy now.

As it so happens I am glad to get rid of item.

1132612 2010-08-29 00:30:00 Best thing to do is to set the start and reserve price at the same value, then set a buy now which is slightly higher than you would expect to sell it for. If someone wants the item NOW, they pay slightly extra. If not, they bid and after 7 days they possibly win the auction. xyz823 (13649)

All I have reieved thus far,is an email asking a question.

When I went to answer question,I found I had sold.

This item successfully sold with Buy Now for $1.00

I like to learn the hard way.

The item is a 30000 Lt water tank with faulty top,barstuard to get rid of.

1132616 2010-08-29 01:52:00 'tis Sunday, appropriate enough for selling tanks with holes.
Did you include holy water?

Bit late now, but if you had just added "good indoor - outdoor flow"?
