I also got the invalid message too. Seems that something untoward is going on - another bug perhaps?

Well, they never said it would happen overnight. :)

I just tried to answer a question on my auction on the mobile site and got the message 'your message has already been recorded' and then nothing. Came back to the desktop site and answered the question. Oh when are these problems going to get sorted!

I don't use Tradevine but Trade Me is really slow this afternoon - taking ages for pages to load.

I have been reporting dogs being sold in the 'Books' category for some time - yet Trade Me do absolutely nothing about it!

That's quite a strange one. Is it a working dog or a pet dog? Sometimes working dogs are sold as such, but it takes them a while to settle into their new home and actually work for their new owners. It sounds as if you are a good dog owner and recognise that the dog may not be in the best of circumstances and great that you are willing to travel to pick it up. Perhaps suggest that if they bring the dog back you will refund, but if you have to travel to pick it up you will expect some recompense for petrol money. 

Hi Peter, I think that's probably another bug in the system. If you were to use My Products you can schedule your listings to end at the time of your choice at no cost. 

Couldn't agree more with Callum - NEVER send the goods before you receive payment. Personally, I would put it down to experience, but sometimes persistent emails do get results. Good Luck. :)

Some addresses are classed as rural by Aramex and NZ Post as urban. As a rule it is because Aramex do NOT deliver to the area and so have to hand over to NZ Post - hence the dearer price.

Yes there are addresses that Aramex regard as rural and charge rural fees for their delivery. It is usually to addresses that Aramex do NOT service, and that they must hand over parcels to NZ Post for delivery (hence the extra charge).
