You can withdraw an ad at any time. This is useful if you’re finalising a sale with a buyer, are temporarily unavailable, or don’t want to receive further enquiries.
If you’ve almost “sealed the deal” but haven’t completed the sale yet, withdrawing your ad is a helpful option. It removes your ad from the DoneDeal listings and search results, so you won’t receive any more calls or messages about it.
Once you’ve decided to go ahead with the sale, you can mark the ad as sold. If the sale doesn’t go ahead, you can relist the ad.
Relisting an ad is free if it’s done within the lifespan of the original ad. Listings run for either 30 or 72 days, depending on the ad type. When an ad is relisted, it keeps its original publish date, so it will appear as an older ad rather than a newly published one.
