Hello johnak1. You can't. Not yourself anyway. You have to contact Trade Me directly to arrange this if you have accidentally topped up your account and you don't intend to use it.
I disagree. Someone would need both access to your Trade Me account with it's password, and your email with it's (hopefully different) password. Sure, if they have your device with both of those logged in then it would be possible to gain access. However if they have your phone they can read your text, without even needing a password / pincode / face ID / fingerprint or anything to see that if you have texts set to come up directly on your screen. So email is actually more secure than MFA using a mobile text message. Surely.
Yes, there has been an unanswered question on the item for a few days. Not sure if it's from Phill or someone else.
Kinda want to buy it to see what will happen. Are you keen wardukw? I can resend to you on arrival in the unlikely event the seller actually sends it. Might pay to be aware that shipping times seems more like over 30 days, rather than the 7-15 stated in the description, if that's an issue for you.
If you have actually sold an item on Trade Me it could be a "buynow scam" If you haven't sold anything it will just be a standard phishing attempt. These are especially prevalent if your email address matches your Trade Me username.

Hi there! Have you been through Trade Me's help page for this to make sure your listings are up to scratch for highlighting by google? It can be a bit of a mysterious thing. Who really knows how the google 'bots decide what to promote.
Hello srobets1 You can't add contact details to a listing. All you can do is write a good description with lots of photos. Encourage questions. Otherwise you can make it clear to the winner that they can inspect or test ride etc without obligation before they pay to satisfy themselves it is what they want.
Yes, that is because policing and enforcing it is largely the responsibility of the Commerce Commission. If you aren't getting action from Trade Me you can consider filing a report with comcom instead. No doubt a random small trader on here is pretty low on their radar in the grand scheme, but I have had success going directly to them in the past if you find Trade Me are dragging the chain. ;)
It was originally forbidden to have 2 accounts because there was no need for it. When the Government overhauled the Consumer Guarantees Act in 2013/2014 it became necessary to identify if you were an in-trade, or casual seller. Trade Me then made the in-trade logo available. They were required to do this by law. As part of this change they had to allow members to have two accounts so they could split their in-trade sales from their private sales. Pre 2013 items sold via auction were not subject to the CGA so there was no legal need to identify yourself as being in-trade or not on here. Ov...
