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...

Tonight I had a similiar experience.I won an auction which has a reference number of KP-**** & can't be viewed on my laptop (desktop site).I can only access the auction in my sold items on my mobile.Tried to bid before on "Bid Bud" but it wouldn't allow me as it states that TradeMe has changed their rules around bidding from this site ! Once the auction finished it also vanished from my lists.Not sure what's going on but it's a bit of a worry as when Trademe brings in new features,glitches start appearing regularly.

There's sellers out there offering "ping" as a payment but don't have the shipping auctions in that section.They have the options next to the description to save them success fees on the shipping costs which is quite silly in my view as a ping payment only covers the item & then the buyer has to make a separate payment for shipping.Very messy !

Funny that the cut off point is 45 days to lodge a dispute yet TradeMe got in touch with me 3 months after an auction finished to say that a buyer of a dvd box set had issues with the set & want a refund.They only knew what the auction in question was as I had placed feedback on their profile.I asked TradeMe if I was still required to sort out a refund after all that time & at first said no it was optional.But the buyer kept putting pressure on them so in the end said I had to ring them to sort out a refund.So I rung them,they sent the dvds back which did turn out to have defects so I refun...

Everytime there is a postage price increase the headquarters of TradeMe must rub their hands together as they make more profit from shipping.And that's by doing nothing.

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...

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.

Thanks Callum.Looks like I will have to try & change/delete the feedback doing it your way as the buyer is now ghosting me.Going by the incoherent feedback + the email I received from them there's no chance they'll be able to work out how to do it by using the instructions my fellow members have sent me.I have sent them a couple of emails with basic ways of doing it but I haven't heard back.

Thanks for your help.Once it's stop pending I'll copy & paste these links & will send to the buyer.I managed to work it out myself in the end & sent instructions to the buyer but I suspect the buyer won't understand as they're new to this site & going by the feedback they gave me might struggle to comprehend !
