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...
Hi Andrew.If you were to close down "Bid Bud" I would most certainly stop buying stuff on this site as your site is easy to follow & navigate.I use your site for everything including listing all my items.And being able to bid with the auto setup means you don't even have to be on line watching the auction live.I certainly won't be using the "auto-bid" feature on TradeMe as like many others I like to bid in the last ten minutes of a auction.Not seven days or whatever before an auction finishes.I find using TradeMe with all these so called new features hard work & with all the glitches puts m...
Yes it is what version the seller has listed the auction.Any auction with a reference number of KP-***** does not show up on desktop whether you have won it or not.It only shows up on the new version app. on my phone.I won a auction,paid for it straight away & then when the parcel arrived I had no idea what it was as I had forgotten I had won it as I do most of my transactions on my laptop (desktop) & it was wasn't on my won list.TradeMe has known about this glitch for many weeks now & don't seem to be in no hurry to fix it !!!! And yet they still charge us the same success fees when their ...
The problem is that the problems still exist 6 months on.What have the TradeMe techs. been doing in this time ? The whole functionality of this site is generally a nightmare.Don't they realise that many traders still use desktop.Not everyone spend 24/7 on their mobile phones.
flas2004 It might be a different seller as the one I'm referring to just sells books.
Thanks for that.I try to avoid the new look desktop site like the plague but you can see the auctions you won by selecting the mobile option.It also shows what you missed out on but any that were on my watchlist that I didn't bid on have vanished into thin air.
Yes it is still happening.I had a auction on my watchlist I was interested in.It didn't sell.The seller quite often places a lower offer to me if one of their auctions fails to sell.But they have no way of doing this as they used the so called "new site" & now the auction has vanished from the site.They have no way of knowing who their "watchers" are & if it did sell other trademe members have no idea what it sold for,who the buyer was e.t.c. because it's gone,never to be seen again.I'm staggered to think how many sales are being missed out as a result of TradeMe doing nothing about this kn...
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 !
I have to go the mobile site to see anything I have won from sellers using the new site with KP-******* references.If I use the desktop site there's nothing in the "won" folder & no e-mails are sent to my adress.In fact if I forget I have made a bid on a auction using the new site I could easily overlook that I have actually won.TradeMe have known about this for many,many,many months ............... but have done nothing about it ! Beyond a joke.
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...
