I am quite new to using trade me and was hoping someone could help me out. An auction I really wanted has closed and it didn't sell.

If yes then I am not sure whether to ask for a fixed price offer or to relist the auction which had a buy now. Do people generally use the fixed price offer option to sell things cheaper or more than what they have on their buy now?
No you can't ask a question on a fix price offer. And it depends on the person if they offer higher or lower....I've had FPO's that were much higher then the reserve was originally (why would I want to pay more??).
There is no way of communicating with the seller unless the auction is open.
If you request a fixed price offer then they'll decide the amount and offer it to you, generally it's the same as their buy now, sometimes cheaper...if they relist you can ask a question.
If they have any other auctions open you could ask a question on that one and refer to th closed one e.g "I
am interested in the auction which has closed for widget a and was wondrering ..."
