Using Ping from Oz

Answered

January 27, 2023 08:14 Edited January 27, 2023 08:15

Kia ora everyone,

I'm an Aussie (please don't move to the next post) who wishes to purchase some items in NZ. I see that Ping is a predominant payment method. Is it possible to set up a Ping account with my CC from Australia? I only need it to pay for purchases, not sell.

Thanks

PS Will be heading to Middle Earth in a month so am catching up on Kiwi lingo by binge watching The Brokenwood Mysteries!

Hi David, you should be all good to purchase using your Australian card.

You can purchase with Ping using Mastercard, Visa, Prezzy Card, Q card and American Express.

Kia Ora Lucy,

Thanks for jumping in here for David. What is the ruling for purchasing from Oz - do you have to ask NZ Sellers if they ship to Oz prior to purchasing / bidding if this is not mentioned in the listing Or are you Good to Go please?

S, it would be expected that if the seller does not mention they ship to Australia, or they do not have shipping rates quoted to Australia that the buyer would ask first before buying.

Trademe say in the help pages.

Shipping & delivery information – Help - Trade Me

For delivery to Australian destinations, ask the seller a question.

Thanks everyone. I actually have a friend in Auckland that I can get items sent to plus I'm travelling to NZ in 4 weeks time.
The lady host at Lake Taupo said we'll be glad of the air con. Not sure what she meant by that. Current apparent overnight temps in Brissie are 29-30C so day time temps of 23-24C at Taupo will feel like winter even without the AC.
Also, how does one add emojis? Ta

Kia Ora David,

I can't help on that air con statement either - looking fwd to enlightment there also!

Emoji's - Windows trick - I am on Windows 10 - press the window logo key & the fullstop key at the same time, the Windows emoji pop up appears = Magic! - Cheers.
