I've QUIT

After a few closing down sales, I am now listing only the scraps left and that will be it. 

After over 20 years of making TradeMe a LOT of money in fees I have given up trying to push the proverbial uphill. 

People who have done their best to provide good products in good condition with no issues should be rewarded. Professional sellers would on the laws of averages provide a better quality of service to buyers than casual sellers - why wouldn't they, it's in their interest. 

But to then be punished by:
- constantly increasing fees
- removal of internal banking as a payment option
- being charged fees on shipping which is another fee increase by stealth
- making professionals less attractive to purchase from than casual sellers
- having some of our categories not even listed on drop down menus or the home page
If that's not a message to professionals to p!ss off, I don't know what is.

Any why? I really don't know, I don't get it. 

If we got a fair go we would still be selling and probably looking for better products to increase the TradeMe offering but instead we might as well go to other platforms or create our own websites because the amount now paid in fees will easily cover the free sites or online or physical advertising. 

Anyway, I know nothing will happen and this is p!ssing into the wind but it does sadden me that this once awesome site is now a skeleton and one where we just hear about more and more scams and bad news. Shame.
