Callum Another thing is for combining, you still have to ask buyers to pay outstanding shipping, as they have used the $0.00 Combining option, as some parcels become way oversize for shipping they have paid, even via paying with Ping and if it is outside my regular couriers zone they need to pay for other courier, which can be higher shipping cost also, Some of us are small time stay at home sellers not big businesses, so cannot cover the extra shipping costs, otherwise giving stuff away for free?, There are so many reasons to keep payment Instructions and ability for buyers to ma...
michellew2k Why?, People can still select cash and make bank deposit, It is a buyers choice, and a sellers choice too to offer it, and I have it from Trade Me yes you can offer cash on auction so people can still make Bank deposit, which I did screen shot on another post way back when Ping was forced on Intrade sellers, from the E-Mail I got from Trade Me, Cash is not only for Pick ups, it is Bank deposit just reworded, Payment Instructions are also sent for pick ups as well that have details in them for arranging pickups,Phone numbers etc. so you cannot in reality remove them, that would...
Ok, So I won an auction this morning on my personal account, I paid the service fee against my will, grumble grumble, has have no choice, when something comes up you want, But why has the service fee been given back?, why the top up for service fee?, I am confused about this, did I miss something somewhere?, I was thinking it may have been listed before the 10th, but no item only listed this morning, as browse latest listings, as I sold today stuff listed on the 9th so expected to pay Success fees, but no fees, and had Bank deposit as I had no ping then,
opo18 It appears to have been deleted by the poster?, Just went back up through E-Mails,
ulfberht Sometimes you get the generic message like the postcode, when it is not the actual post code, but it can be other factors like incorrect measurement format, make sure you have cm's not mm's also double check the address on this link, that it correct, https://www.addresscheck.co.nz/ some sellers don't sent correct address format, spelling etc. or add an unit A or B, but they do not exist in system yet, so need to manually write the letter on after the street number,
Callum Apologies, thank you for clarifying that, it makes it hard when people do not tag who they are responding too, Only debt I have ever had in my life was my mortgage, if I wanted something I saved up for it first, so could pay for it in one hit, Like fridge freezer, washing machines etc. and because I did that I got big discounts off them too, not paying extra while paying them off,
Callum You have completely missed the whole point, look outside at the bigger picture, I know as a seller I am covered but that is not the point I am making at all, So you are happy to offer Ping After pay etc. knowing some people will be unable to pay and get them selves into further debt using a credit card?, even though you have your money you're happy?, Sorry but some sellers need to think outside the box, yes some just want easy money regardless of harm it can be causing others, Hence I only offered Bank deposit, plus don't need the ping fees either, Buyers, they either have the ...
One reason I hate Ping and will never use after-pay, I sell low cost 2nd hand Non Essential items, making it too easy for some people to get into debt paying via Ping etc. and not Completing and after pay payments, it adds to their debt, this is one reason some shops have now done away with offering After-pay, people using it then cannot make payments, If they do not have the money to pay via bank deposit Only, then they should not be buying non essential items, Trade Me are aiding these people get into even more debt by forcing ping in their face making it too easy to buy non essential 2nd...
As they say the horse has well and truly bolted, now they are trying to get members back, I am afraid it is far too late, the damage is now done, now removing success fees, from casual sellers and enforcing Ping, removing Bank deposit, is just chasing more away, It is no longer the happy place it once was for people to sell off their unwanted stuff for some pocket money, they are turning it all into a business model?,
greg23 I hear you, yes too many now selling on casual accounts, clear as day should be Intrade, I have been reporting one such member almost 8 years, Still not Intrade, I could make a long list of ones in same category I sell in, it is rife with sellers whom clearly should be Intrade!!, when you browse virtually daily, you pick up on them year after year, yes I pay 9.9%, now casual sellers pay nothing, unfair playing field at the best, Some of us are just trying to make an honest living and paying our taxes, are these casual sellers paying tax?,
