AFTERPAY mysteriously added...

Hello Robert.

Hasn't happened to me and haven't seen any other people saying it has.

Many get caught out with Ping, because Trade Me pre-tick that option, but Afterpay needs to be ticked if you want to add that. 

I guess you just did that during the listing process and didn't realise it. 

I use My Products to list and have never ticked any box in that section as I’m always cash or internet banking and it’s happened twice. Once the notification came through someone had paid by AfterPay, the second time I didn’t get anything and only knew when the TM payment showed in my account. Strange.

Ah I've had a few surprising afterpay sales using My Products. But that's because I grudgingly activated it on request for some buyers. Once they confirmed they were happy to pay the extra 4.95% Then forgot to deactivate it again so it relists with it activated. If you hit duplicate on those listings to list something afterpay will also carry over in those cases. 

You can check all your own listings of course. Click your name and filter afterpay to make sure you don't have any sneaked in there. 

This morning I saw it was in at least three auctions, all of which only when on last week. I have a nausea attack every time I think of Afterpays fees so I’ve never offered it. But there are quirks that happen on TM but maybe I have split personality disorder and my alter ego wants to make me broke 😂

one of my listings offered Afterpay which i DID NOT put on as an option.  out of the  50 listings, one mysteriously got added, which the buyer tried to use, but it didn't work....not sure wth is going on

Kia ora everyone, this sounds like something we need to look into. Can you contact the team with listing numbers so that we can see why this may be happening for you. 

Michelle, I contacted TM at the time. And I'm pretty sure it has happened with Ping too. Not often, like, not often at all but it definitely wasn't my end (I'm as sure as I can be). Now you can look into putting us in-trade sellers on a level playing field with casual sellers now you have time :)

Hi Michelle, I also notified trademe who responded saying that it was an error on the buyers side. Not sure how. The buyer sent me a screenshot showing me the Afterpay option.
