Any time that I have had an issue, it has been dealt with efficiently from the Philippines. In case of a non-pick up, if you inform Trade Me they will help. 

It's still happening...

I don't know but it is getting a little frustrating. I will go to look at a page and I keep getting the 'too early' message, so reload the page and it loads. Seems especially bad when following a link from an email to a Trade Me page, also occurs when booking a courier. 

I am so pleased that it is not just me who is getting the 'too early' message. I have cleared my cache and tried all the usual fixes but I keep getting the message too.

I think that has happened since Ping and cash has been the only Trade Me options available to in-trade traders. It seems that automatically send Payment Instructions are no longer deemed necessary in view of the changes. :/

Mine for a start.

Hi, I've noticed that with heaps of in-trade sellers too - hardly a level playing field!

I would have thought that they could have found a better time to do the changes.

Sounds like the Commerce Commission have been receiving lots of mail. 

Just get in contact with Trade Me and explain what has happened - they will refund for the postage. Then ring the courier and cancel the pick up.
