Just the same as the Certificates reaching Feedback milestones, 500. 1000, 5,000 and a T-Shirt, etc. a thing of the past, they used to encourage people to be good sellers, and work hard to earn them, now members just don't give a toss like Trade Me no longer give a toss about good members, We and all incentives to be good sellers have now all been tossed aside in same box as all the bad members, in order for them to make more $$$ from us, and as above nothing to celebrate,
ptchevy As a general rule, when the Courier prices are going to be increased on Trade Me, we get notification with new prices weeks before it happens via E-Mail, so we can update our auctions so do not get left out of pocket, and it is also gets notified on the community boards some one generally shares the E-Mails. so just keep an eye on your Trade Me E-Mails, if you have opted out of receiving them you better opt back in, as this is why people get caught out, as get no E-Mails and do not visit the community boards,and if you use My Products and have your own shipping templates, easy to u...
knitpurl1 This will not be a problem for those using the book a courier, it gets used quite quickly, as for others they may use it for up grading / promoting their listings etc. Listing above their free allowance, as for others ?, That is the Question, they will probably have to ask for a refund?, But I would just suggest, just use it to book couriers where sellers can,
Callum Even if they make shipping mandatory on auctions, There are so many variables, where we will still need to provide bank details, It will not work completely removing that option, Please you need to think outside the box and look at the bigger picture?, Take your blinkers off, as you do not see the real bigger picture out there, all the different variables / Scenarios, We are all not like you, we are all different sellers, selling different stuff in different ways, stay at home people/Nana's/Grandads etc. just trying to make an honest living, we are all not a big businesses t...
flossy21 The money came out of my Trade Me account, Not Ping, and came back to my Trade Me account, where it still is, nothing gone to ping account, I have had the same happen again Yesterday and today to,
Yes I am still confused too?, as those sellers who are offering to refund the fee are actually paying the buyer, giving the buyer a discount on their reserve?, if the fee goes back to buyers account?, so buyer double dipping so to speak?, This is so confusing, why the fee if it gets given back?, does not make sense at all, so why even have the fee in this instance? something not right here at all, just all a bit nonsensical to be honest,
habitatnorthld It is known that the system does not accept all PO box Addesses, You can check it here to make sure it shows, https://www.addresscheck.co.nz/ But now I just State on my Auctions a different Shipping cost for P.O.Box addresses for Standard NZ Post, as it is not my main courier, so if it is not accepted, I just use NZ post bags, Labels etc. I keep on hand and get them picked up from my door, they get the same service as courier parcels all collected same time, https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/bookapickup/address
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,
