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?...

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.

Hello Bridget. My guess is that by using a VPN anyone in the world can then easily log into Trade Me. This is probably what they are trying to avoid? Scammers / Fake accounts etc would likely increase a lot and cause problems on the website if VPN restrictions were relaxed.

Dejan It's pretty obvious why it is like it is. Are you telling me that if you were the lead bidder on that item and were prepared to go to $600. You might even have had a $600 autobid locked in. Then someone comes along, asks for a buynow of $300 and the seller says yep, I'll sell it to you, too bad about Dejan you would honestly be happy with that? How can that be good for the seller, when they miss out on a much larger sale price, and Trade Me when they miss out on a much larger comission, and you when you  miss out on the item you wanted because someone else come in and stole it?

Lance. How do you mean worst ever change? It has always been like this on Trade Me. And hopefully, always will be. So you are telling me if you are bidding on a $1 reserve auction that you really really want. Happy to pay upto $500 for it. You put your bid in. Then while you are away someone asks for a $200 buynow. The seller says OK. Adds a $200 buynow. That person grabs it. How do you feel?........

Believe it or not the best advice for these situations is "Refund the buyer, then sort out the delivery issue afterwards." When you think about it should the buyer have to sit there for days or weeks while the courier gets their act together and looks into it? Yes, it sounds like they are being unreasonable and impatient, but they just want the item they paid for after all. I know it's a hard pill to swallow. But that's just how it is these days in a buyer weighted environment. The Buyer Protection policy stipulates that a signature is required for Trade Me to side with the seller that the ...
