Tried to "warn other prospectives" by logging a comment against each listing that I had won the auction but now relisted - message "invalid state"
Thanks for comments - after "winning" the four lots the seller refused to issue updated listing as I may have only won partial listings or none. Gave 24 hours to "appreciate cooperation on postage", accept settlement through TM system, dead silence, then relisted
Thank you to everyone for your feedback - appreciated. After winning the four lots I did ask the seller about relisting as a one lot so postage would be one x minimal - cigarette cards afterall. Emailed again 7pm last night " would appreciate cooperation" and said I would contact again today about 7pm if they had not responded. Was stunned today to see the seller had relisted them - time to move on I guess

If I click pay now does this allow me to see what is being charged. Or do I pay total direct to seller. Up to seller to list properly - I understand TM automatically calculates for each listing what the price will be. In this case cigarette ...
Newby to Trademe. Have already completed successfully several purchases with ping. Yesterday won four cigarette card listings [total $14], but seller wants payment to their bank account - postage $4 therefore $18 total. Wont create new invoice for this amount. I was told TM doe's not allow, but apparently it allows but no buyer protection. Do I pay total cost directly to sellers bank account or pay by ping for the won listings and just pay postage to sellers account. My Trademe account under "Won" gives me only one option - pay instantly which I refuse to do. While sellers rating is very hi...
