With shipping, dont let people play games with you. Your listings clearly say to be arranged. While they m,ay have paid by ping, that is without shipping cost, so just request shipping address then you can quote shipping cost. Never send before you have the shipping paid. Just send a reminder ever 4 days

TM have made it so that intrade sellers cannot display a bank account option ( trademe  now have it all going through ping which they charge fees on and are getting a fat bank account while sellers accounts get thinner.). Even though, many sellers are happy to take bank deposits just ask. Many of my buyers select the cash option and then I supply the account details to them

So what happens where there is no suburb at all that the business is related to. It could be a nationwide online business with no physical location at all

It is not the seller requesting the password, it is TM. You are paying TM, who then pass the payment on to the seller. TM ask you for your password to verify you are the legitimate person using the account  

This Character limit also applies in feedback. If you any reason you need to write a long feedback, it lets you do so and then when its posted, the feedback is reduced to what ever character limit TM impose. So you now have a feedback with a load of text missing, and the whole context of the feedback is meaningless as only part of the feedback is showing. Admittedly, its not often I write a super long feedback, but TM need to fix this so the writer can only insert the amount of characters in the feedback that will be eventually displayed on the feedback.

I have found integration with TM and PTP useless. PTP have vast amounts of catagories that are banned from integrating with TM. Most of the catagories are not banned or restricted(as per their banned and restricted product lists) at all, just regular items. So you have to then manually load the data for the parcel instead of going through integration, so the "banned" category still gets shipped but with more effort. I have bought this issue of all these "banned" categories many times, they agree there is no proper reason for it, but continue to leave the banned categories. Very poor follow ...

I think its quite reasonable for a buyer to both ask and expect the full account name.It is their money and they have a reasonable expectation it is safe. While ou mention your feedback, maybe account is hacked, or seller turned rouge suddenly. You mention a partial match, while it "may" give you a hint its correct, it maybe a family member collecting the money in disguise of the account owner. If thetrade turned bad for some reason and the member needed to take a legal remedy, the proper account name would be needed as part of the process. In short the banks have put in situ the account an...

You will be able to assess if it is rural address by using this site https://www.addresscheck.co.nz/ . If they have  paid rural and they selected urban shipping, you can contact buyer and ask them either to supply an alternate urban address, or alternately to pay the extra rural fee required.  With the B scenario, trademe are not providing the courier service, merly providing the platform where buyer and seller interact and so would not be liable for one of the suppliers not being available at a particular time. Your option here is to wait until the cheaper supplier is back supplying bookin...
