Give a fixed price offer

The fixed price offer function seems to have been 'improved' lately. Watchers names no longer appear, although I see bidders names do. I went to do a fixed price offer a few days ago and it said there were six watchers, but only one name showed and that was of someone that had just bought another of my auctions.

Very frustrating, as sometimes I like to target watchers in particular areas, if I am traveling that way. The fixed price offer function is pretty much useless now.

"improved" - oh that's just great. I have had watchers who are just tyre kickers. I have offered these watchers and been igrnored. Dropped the price and been ignored, yet still they watch.

Same problem here.

Just who did they "survey" and what questions were asked does anyone know?

The Mysterious NZ survey sounds like someone's telling porkies and in breach of NZ laws for misleading practices.

I have sent through fixed price offers numerous times for the past few months to folks on the watchlist....either via the mobile at the bottom of the page, or just using the desktop - I've had no watchers take me up on the offers. A few buyers have said they never received the email from trade me. So there is something wrong with the system, as up until October last year, had plenty of acceptances of FPOs.

Kia Ora meldvd,

Where are you seeing this "give a fixed offer" - is this a Member requesting a Fixed price offer Or an email marketing suggestion, related to the 'Make an Offer' feature perhaps Or something/where else?

Howold,

I've not seen or heard of any survey being undertaken for the FPO's - this Feature was interrupted by the system rebuild upgrades taking place. - An FPO version was released just recently to give this opportunity back to Members on Listings that are created in the new platform.

Thanks sofairways,

That's valuable information to know a few Members aren't receiving the FPO emails, there have been a few who are reporting issues in receiving an array of emails currently. It's good to keep an eye on TradeMe's sending address's to ensure we have all current and new sending address's on our email whitelists / safe sender lists and to double check our email preferences are set to receive the FPO & other emails as changes continually come through the system also - Cheers.
