silkbutterfly Yes, it is the new Buyers that cause most problems, un authenticated/New accounts to are often time wasters, Blacklisted members who create new accounts to circumnavigate Blacklist, as using same credit cards to authenticate can link accounts so do not authenticate, as do underage people / teenagers, yes for low cost items, they are sometimes problematic, few years back I had new buyers that were 100% scammers, buy Now on one $1 reserve and want to drive a 3 hour round trip from location to pick up a .50c or $1 plastic block, no communication at all from them, I contacted...
Yes, I only ever see it on Trade Me,
That was a problem I had a few years ago, buyers selecting $0.00 Combining thinking it was free shipping, as showed as free in E-Mails etc.so had to add seller to confirm cost, to confirm it was not going to be free, it helped, no excuses after that, Yes, there are triers out there, even though shipping was shown on auctions for different regions, they were selecting just combining, as shows as free shipping on won auctions and E-Mails, instead of combining, as I do not have free shipping,

Callum This bigger picture of hiding bidding history, it will allow shill bidders to run rife, as no history to leave trails on members sales etc. via their sold feedback, as where we use to pick up suspicious activity, especially new accounts, bidding on just anything of a members listings etc.?, and unless we can see them to report them with our suspicions they will not get picked up, They need us to see bidding history and closing price so we can see current market values too, some of these new changes have not been thought through well, and they have not looked outside the box to see ...
Yes, I get it too, I am on Fire fox,
crax No most auctions you cannot see bidding history anymore, and that is my concern too, no way to see suspicious bidders and if shill bidding maybe going on, as I would have liked to see bids on an auction, as you cannot see those bids of casual sellers who should be Intrade, that win auctions then on sell the items they win?, now no proof they are doing so?, you see them bidding but when it closes no idea who actually won?,
No you cannot, if you have a listing number this is what you will see, as I had this listing number saved on a screen shot/ snippet highlighting fakes saved in a folder, of a auction I recently community Watched, they used to show on your lost items, as withdrawn, now no trace of them, so no idea did it sell etc. did someone get ripped off?, or did seller withdraw it? so save listing numbers on screenshots I upload on the community watch, too much secrecy on here now, not seeing bidders after auctions close, so cannot pick up on shill bidding etc. so it could be happening going rife now?,
snaxnz Why don't you use Trade Me Book a courier?, or are you rural, cannot get them picked up?
