Under the address details is where I usually write it.

Omins does offer greater flexibility and features than My Products.

Firstly, let me be clear - I prefer Ping. However, there are lots and lots of traders blatantly disregarding this policy. Openly stating on their listings - 'bank deposit preferred' and the like. Does Trade Me intend to do anything about this?

So why on earth did Trade Me ever make this announcement? Am I missing something? "From Monday 3 November 2025, Ping, Afterpay and cash will be the only available payment options for in-trade sellers. 1 October 2025 To create a safer and more streamlined experience, we are updating the accepted payment methods for in-trade sellers on Trade Me.From Monday 3 November, new listings from in-trade sellers will exclusively use Ping, with cash and Afterpay as optional additions."  

I thought that the only payment options were Ping or cash?

If you're not prepared to sell it for $1.00, don't list it for $1.00 - simple. 

That's because Ping and cash are the only options - although heaps of traders are stating they would prefer bank deposits - which kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing. 

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. 

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. :/

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.
