Kia Ora Leone,
That behaviour is in Breach of TM's policy's also so please report them - it's not on and needs to be stopped in its tracks there. Don't take it personally either, it is this new generation coming through the ranks with a sense of entitlement. Get their Questions removed from your listings also as these are shown when listing closes and adding them to your Blacklist will prevent them from the ability to attack you through your Q&A section coming forward - Cheers.

Thanks S. I’ve added them to my black list now, I’ll use live chat tomorrow to take their 4 rude comments off my listings. Truely shocking behaviour

Thanks for sharing your recent experiences, everyone. I'm really sorry to read that things aren't always friendly; I understand how upsetting that can feel.
Please remember that you can reach out to us and let us know when things take a turn. We don't tolerate abusive, retaliatory or defamatory comments or feedback. We would also want to hear about any interaction where there's been any discriminatory or intimidating conduct.1 -
I have noticed an increase is nastiness, impatience and general rudeness online and off. I wonder if the hard times happening is making everyone more horrible to deal with.

We too have noted an increase in rude nasty behaviour. Indeed have just now reported via the community watch button, one that not only was clearly in breach of the TM listing guidelines for a new item, refused to respond to the purchaser's emails, but then considered that he could then respond with abusive abbreviations via f/b and in his response to purchasers f/b. This was not re one of our trades but felt empathy for the purchaser. That seller is on our blacklist now as we do not wish to encounter him! The good old community watch button is still there folks (on desktop anyway) at the base of the auction page. Recommend using it so TM view such behaviours. Doubt they would otherwise know unless of course the purchaser filed a dispute.

I too have noticed an Increase in rude ill mannered self entitled people,
2 weeks ago 1 asked question, wanted to buy multiple items and wanted a deal, and to pick up, (I have no Pick ups)
I said no you need to bid or use buy now's on my auctions that I have listed, all my sales go via Trade Me only, I do not sell outside Trade Me, and no my auctions are No Pick ups, They used Buy Now, on a low value item then E-Mailed me said they want 20 more and can I pick up tomorrow? need then for day after for my class?
and because I said no, they tried to walk away and not complete the trade, days later I had to chase them up, and just got a nasty E-Mail and they threatened me with Bad feedback?, That E-Mail went to TM, and then some one else virtually did the same thing?, also from virtually the same location?, which makes me wonder, same person, using 2 accounts?
Just because you are intrade they think you are a business and supply endless items the same, yet these are used items, just parts from random bulk lots?, I had to chase that one up too to pay, They think they can use Buy now's, and when they don't get what they want can just walk away from the trade and not complete trades, It is just so rude, that trade was not completed, not paid for, and yes they did get feedback they deserved, some need to learn respect and manners, and that they cannot treat sellers like that,
