Is there any chance that Trade Me admin is actually listening to us and there might be a change of mind so we can use bank transfer if we want to?  Please don't give me TM's spiel about Ping being wanted as an answer, because many of us just do not want it and are just so tired of being given the spiel as an answer.

In twenty years trading through Trade Me, I have had only one problem with a bank transfer and that was where the lady muddled the numbers.  With Ping our account with Trade Me was hacked repeatedly and over $1000 was stolen from our Visa account but nothing showed up on my Trade Me account, we only discovered this when we were checking the Visa statement.  Yes Trade Me refunded the money but we had to go through hoops to get it.  I consider Ping to be flawed and I shall stop selling on Trade Me after the 15th of March when Trade Me forces us to use Ping.  I think Ping is just another money...
