Gary.  I get and agree to what you are saying about business purchases. Community Groups as well often don't have anyway to make payments except via internet banking. That way they can have 2 or 3 signatories to approve a purchase. Credit and Debit cards are too risky for them to hold.   I think they might have had to leave cash because of the value limits on Ping and Afterpay. You can't add or use Ping for items over $10,000. I think Afterpay is variable depending on the buyer. I've had newbs not able to purchase a $1500 item with Afterpay.  So for buyers making large value purchases cash ...

Yes a sensible idea. The whole feedback system was devised over 20 years ago. Smart phones and tablets didn't exist so everything was done on a keyboard. It was a fairly novel concept at the time. You didn't have huge traders either to begin with so all those robotic cut 'n' pastes weren't there. There have been some trials around the feedback system, including leaving ratings for things like communication, delivery speed,  item quality,  without the need to leave a comment. So it is something Trade Me are thinking about. It's due an overhaul but maybe not really near the top of the "to do"...

Hi Lance. If a bid has been made (and reserve met) the buynow disappears. It is not a recent change. Always been that way. Always will be. You may be getting confused because if the seller has set a hidden reserve, and a bid is made that doesn't meet the reserve, then the buynow stays. There has been no change there either that I am aware of. Again - always been that way, always will be. For example. Auction 3539666735 Has a bid, reserve not met, buynow still available.

Responsible companies seem to be leaving crypto currencies, rather than adding them. Most famously is probably Tesla. There are some issues with it that I can see.  Firstly there is the  purely speculative nature of crypto. A lot of people are likely to get burnt. When you look at with a critical eye, you could say it is basically a ponzi scheme. It is also often linked to criminality and money laundrying because of the anonymous nature of it. Then you need to look at the large energy costs that are expended mining it. Would this energy be better spent elsewhere in an energy concious world?...

And of course you are legally obligated to have it showing if you are an in-trade seller.  If that has changed, and no longer selling in-trade, your only option left is to start another private account.  If you intend to do that, and leave your original in-trade account open you have to let Trade Me know you will be running 2 accounts.  If you have a think about it, it's sensible to not allow traders to remove their "in-trade" notification. A buyer could buy something from you, thinking they have all the legal protection under CGA, FTA, buying from an in-trade seller gives them. Then you tu...

Hello Heath. This has been discussed many times on here. Your item doesn't have zero views. It is a confirmed bug that Trade Me say they will hopefully fix early next year. If you type "zero" into the search bar you will find many other posts discussing it.  

In some ways I feel for the seller here Amy. Obviously it will depend on what exactly has been said by whom. But it sounds like they have communicated with you and given instructions - and even provided a video? - of how to fix the problem. They also had an offer of a full refund on the table. You decided not to take that.  Perhaps consider flipping it around and you being the seller. If you sold an item that turned out to have an error in the description. Would you be happy to get a negative feedback even if you tried everything in your power to sort it out with the buyer? If nothing else ...

Hi Kathryn. Not sure what you mean by "messages to suggest you stalk coworkers"? I don't usually use the App notifications, but on a quick check now all mine are related to buying, selling, and new listings from favourite sellers I have saved. Using iOS app version 191.0 I don't have push notifications turned on, because my phone would be pinging hundreds of times a day if I did. But I would assume the push notifications would be the same as those showing within the app itself.

HI Greg. Without mentioning the sellers name can you tell me an easy way to find these? I had a quick look and couldn't see any. I am happy to send through a report on a couple to add some omph to your complaint.

From what I can see QCard is being phased out. They aren't accepting any new customers, and haven't issued any new cards since 2016. Probably more and more retailers will stop supporting it as time passes and the people who use it drop off. Cathy. If you are determined to stay with Q is there any reason you don't want to upgrade to Q mastercard? From what I can see there is only benefits from doing so.
