As anyone noticed New accounts appearing since no fees on Casual accounts, That seem to be from previous Intrade Sellers?
I dealt with a newish seller after the No fees on Casual accounts come in, new account created around that time,
whom seem to know their way around Trade Me so well, even setting up their profile which hints Intrade?
then looking at their 100's of listings, whoa!!, which seem to be from a previous Intrade seller, as some looked familiar?
Parcel received with their printed label, with address completely cut out, hmm, Yes, I black out my name and street number but do not remove the whole address, making me wonder is it someone I have dealt with before?, hiding behind a new not Intrade account?,

Yes I have noticed this as well.A previous intrade seller who sold books disabled their account & set up another account that is a "casual" one.They sell exactly the same as before & even had their old listings as auctions.The silly thing about it is their TradeMe name is exactly the same as their previous name but have added one number at the end of it instead.They have their bank account details on their auctions also which I thought was a no no.

Only other explaination could be change of Tax year and Tax status.
Some people do legitimately change so maybe don't jump to conclusions without establishing all facts.

Callum Community SuperuserEditedThe problem is it's all very well reporting people, but sometimes it seems nothing happens. Or it happens very slowly. Perhaps there's things going on "behind the scenes" but I've been reporting a couple that are very clearly in-trade for a while with no action yet.
For example you might be interested in buying a GoPro Hero 13 Black Creator Edition for $920 This seller is particularly bad because they're dropshipping as well without permission.

Kia ora flossy63, Community watch is the best way to report members so that the team can look into them. Members who try to avoid their responsibilities do so at their own risk. The Commerce Commission also take an interest in trading activity on the site.

Ok, Just a question,
Can you export items from an Intrade My Products account in a csv file, and Import the file into a casual My Products account?,
as just came across the account that started a query on this has they had so many listings from the start?,
made me wonder how they did so many listings within days of new account being created?, yes like a pro!

flossy63 Community SuperuserThanks Gary, yes makes more sense now, they know what they are doing,I wish at the time I did some searches on expired items,which may have brought up some previously listed ones on an Intrade account,0
