I still believe like Westham60 has mentioned that shipping costs should be compulsory on all auctions with "ping".What's the point of being covered from a buyers perspective if ping is used & of course all auctions now have "ping" as a option if there's no shipping in the shipping details.Many traders avoid the ping fee by stating it in the auction description itself which makes a mockery of the "buyer protection" as buyers won't make two payments,one for ping & then the shipping balance to their bank accounts.Yes I agree TradeMe should have left "bank deposit/transfer" as a option but it's...
The thing that gets me is the many sellers avoiding the ping fee by not having their shipping options in the shipping section & have them instead in the listing details.Which of course means the buyer has to make at least one payment by bank deposit.Most buyers just make the one payment including shipping by deposit to save paying twice & sellers know this & of course they are saving fees on shipping as most people know intrade sellers have to pay success fees on postage.Some sellers even state they don't accept ping payments even though of course it's one of the options.You shouldn't be al...
Thanks Gary for your suggestion.It's a bit beyond me exporting/copy e.t.c. to a spreadsheet.Unfortuately I didn't stay at school long enough to learn all the tricks of the trade involving computers/internet techology.What I lilked about Bid Bud is you could create templates easily using freeform text.And it is brilliant at bidding on your behalf a couple of minutes out from the end of the auction when you're away from the computer.But with all the changes to the TradeMe site (most were unnecessary) the creator of Bid Bud can't continue the site for much longer.He created a site that was SIM...
Thanks guys for your replys. I have found it works if I don't change the catagory.For cds for example if I use the Duplicate feature & list in the say for example S for Simple Minds & then want to change to M in the cd catagory it wont duplicate the shipping.I have to fill it in all over again.But if I leave it in the S catagory (original) the shipping remains.I then have to go back to TradeMe & edit the catagory to the correct one.I have looked at the templates on My Products & there's no way of saving my own shipping details.Just the standard courier options & book a courier options.Oh we...
I have to now use My Products now to list as "Bid Bud" is stopping its members from using the site to sell as it looks as though it will soon be no longer ! I have used the site successfully to list items for a few years now as I found it so easy & not confusing.I have started to list a few items on My Products & to save time I have used the Duplicate option on a live listing to save time on having to go thru the long process of including the shipping details of a similiar item.The problem is that every time I use the duplicate function everything is there apart from the shipping where I ha...
flas2004 It might be a different seller as the one I'm referring to just sells books.
There is a "intrade" seller on the site which I will not name as it's forbidden who has counteracted the forced ping & cash only by starting another trademe account but this time going "casual" to avoid all the fees & to have only cash & bank deposit options.They have exactly the same TradeMe name as their"intrade" name but has added "1" to the end of it ! They are selling exactly the same things as their "intrade" account & to top if off they state on all of their auctions (both accounts) to pay by bank deposit only & have even given out their bank account details on the actual auctions th...
Yes.The same thing is happening with me.But don't worry all known glitches are being dealt with swiftly by their hardworking techs. Oh hang on some of these glitches have been here for over a year ... & counting.
We are all wasting our time on here lettting TradeMe know we ain't happy ! It is bad enough as it is with their number of known glitches on their "new improved site" & they have done nothing to correct these in over a year ! They keep rewarding the overseas sellers & casual sellers (many should be in-trade).They get a automatic profit rise when the courier companies put up their prices with their unfair success fees put onto shipping.Worst if the buyer has a rural adress.Even more fees.Fees on ping & Afterpay.Reduced viewers because of the glitches & the cost of living crisis.As mentioned e...
Yes.I'm also having this issue on the android app. You can still see their listings by going to their "feed back".From there you can choose their listings.If TradeMe are trying to fix this glitch then be prepared to wait.Some known glitches that are very important have been on going for over a year !!!!
