I have noticed a lot of constructive answers in here getting thumbs down as numbers are down from yesterday and earlier today, so someone may think it is all good?, so if they think it is all good, they may be ones open to abuse the system if implemented, which I hope is not, as others say very open to abuse, which is so true, Just hope Trade Me realize this & can the whole idea and concentrate on fixing current issues, like the Trade Me address E-Mails with no addresses and to arrange pick up?, when pick up is not an option as seller does not allow pick ups, had 5 in last few days, this ha...

Hi Debbie,  In this case you bid agreeing to shipping on Auction and formed a Contract when you bid or used the Buy now, It is sellers responsibility to have correct shipping on their auction including Rural shipping costs, as some sellers have a flat rate which includes rural, so your point of view, it could have been a flat rate as no mention of Rural at all?, If seller does not make it clear they cannot come back and ask for more, They should have Urban Shipping and & Rural Shipping too, which they did not,  Seller needs to think about their own actions and their error, Seller is wrong, ...

Samantha    Book a Courier NZ Post prices are not the same as NZ Post shop, Your prices are Standard Economy Parcel prices, only available at the Post Shop,  they do not apply to the Trade Me Book a courier at all, 

On my Auctions, I have this wording,  In shipping section, - Combining with other item, Seller to confirm cost, On Auction But some just choose to ignore this and pay one shipping usually the cheapest,  and I only Confirm combined shipping after I have received and checked their address send via Trade Me, where it maybe rural etc. or only one carrier delivers there, which may not be my Main Courier,  There are many varables when it comes to combining, always check with seller,   

Rinel  You are no longer Liable, it is now all in the buyers hands, as they have changed the conditions of Auction & shipping after you had sent it, It is the same as if a buyer themselves gets their parcel redirected, this now becomes a buyers problem if something goes wrong, as they have changed the conditions after a sender as sent it, the same rule applies if they have an ATL in place and seller sends Signature required, as a buyers ATL over rides the signature and couriers will just sign and leave like a normal parcel as the buyers request, Just be careful, this maybe a scam to get a ...

Tee Was the package appropriately packed, or was it inadequately packed?, or could it have been damaged by Courier? first thing you do is contact seller, give them opportunity to put things right, as in code of conduct, They could then submit a claim with courier if damaged in transit, You need to work with the seller for a resolution, not just slap them with Negative feedback,

I am same as Gary, I am over chasing up sellers for Tracking numbers not knowing status of parcel, has it been sent yet, is it stuck in transit etc; I would like Tracking number asap, so I can track once on it's way, and in morning's when I check my tracking numbers can see straight away, oh good it is getting delivered today (your parcel is on board with courier for delivery), As a Seller I use Book a courier, so buyers get an automated E-Mail with Link and states what day it will be on it's way with Courier, If I send using NZ post via Post shop bag etc, I insert Tracking number in provid...

As in clause 10.1.   A seller using Ping must ship items as quickly as reasonably possible (and in any case no later than within three working days of notification of payment). , https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/articles/360007264771-Ping-terms-and-conditions

Ok, I can see a downfall if this can happen, sellers deleting their original answers, Shipping scenario for starters, Buyer asks for shipping, seller answers with a price, Buyer then bids agreeing with that shipping forming a contract,                    But then seller decides that is not enough, deletes original answer puts a whole new higher price up, bidder may not see?, They then win auction pay original shipping they were given?, What ground does the buyer have if seller comes back and says no it is more than that as in answer to question because he edited it later, after buyer had ma...

vui If you print your own labels out, you can just take parcel to Post Shop and get them scanned in,  once it is scanned in it then cancels out the pick up, as will show collected from sender, so if you want to do this rather than waiting for them to be picked up or for security reasons, best thing is to post date the pick up date, so courier does not turn up to pick up before you have got them scanned in at a Post Shop, So if you want to drop at post shop for example on Tuesday, book the pick up for Wednesday, this way paths are not going to be crossed and you will not be wasting a courie...
