Hello Markus. Sounds like your buyer had an RD (Rural Delivery) address there. When you set your shipping options it's a good idea to include a Rural Delivery option. Then it's on the buyer to pay that additional cost.
Thanks for coming back with that Alan. Will be useful advice for others affected by this down the road.
I use Vertical Logistics for some of my courier product. They are a third party supplier like Trade Me's Book a Courier. They also piggy back on NZPost and say they can offer lower prices by negotiating in bulk with NZPost. Their rates also increased much more than they did with NZPost directly. So while the price increase directly on NZPost was quite small this year, perhaps they drastically increased what they charge third party shippers instead. Or perhaps it's just a pricing error. There has been other funky stuff happening today with regards to rates on BAC.
Hello Holly. Are you doing this via My Products? If so you should just be able to select all, untick the boxes, then update all. Like this:
Hello Karen. A few other posts around today saying there are BAC issues. If it is still happening for you, perhaps instead try booking directly on the NZpost website. If you have been charged though, it might have actually gone through. Don't forget to request that back if needed.
Hi Sam. Can you confirm you are comparing the exact same service? Without the dimensions and addresses it's hard to tell, but your $16 price could be NZPost's economy service. This is still tracked but can take longer. The Trade Me BAC price could be courier, which has a target of next day delivery to most places.
Hello again Ethan. 3. Unfortunately the in-trade thing isn't just a matter of personal choice. You either are or you aren't legally. This is tied up in New Zealand law. 4. What are the other websites aside from bidbud are taking your listings and/or photos? I would like to check those out. I'm sure Trade Me would be interested as well. bidbud saying they have saved people money is on the back of their auction sniping type systems for buyers. I use bidbud and they do save me hundreds, if not thousands per year. 5. Nice to hear from a fellow long term trader! Trade Me hasn't been going for 3...
Hello Shannon. The sellers with thousands of listings will have brokered a deal directly with Trade Me. Especially the international sellers. When you see them with (in some cases) 100,000 listings and only a few sales per week you can do the math and figure out they aren't paying HVL fees...... Personally I haven't ever managed to hit the HVL fees. I try to keep a high sell through rate though. I usually have 300-500 listings and an allowance of 600-800 Make sure you are using MQL and MVL (multi quantity, and multi variance) where you can. These will count as one listing, and you can sell ...
Quick answer to a couple Ethan. 3. If you are selling an item with the intention to make a profit from it, then YES you are in-trade, and you should have the logo turned on. Even if you are selling a single item with that intention then you are in-trade. This is a legal requirement. Trade Me are required to remind you of the law around that. If you are making and selling pounamu jewellery for example, then yes, you are in-trade. If you are buying items from an Op shop and reselling, then you are in-trade. 4. Bidbud is just all the Trade Me listings on a different platform. Everything is i...
Andrew. That is with Aramex. NOT NZPost. No address in Raglan with the post code 3225 is Rural Delivery with NZpost. While I don't use Book a courier. I did a trial booking to an address in Raglan. Bow street, with a postcode of 3225. It is not classed as RD. See attached.
