Yvonne  that is wrong info from Trade Me, The general consensus is, the buyer as agreed to shipping on auction when they bid forming a contract, therefore if a seller goes back asking for more shipping they are breaking the contract, so the seller should not be going back asking for more shipping, where have Trade Me got their heads? buried in the sand?, they need to wake up and wise up,

Thanks Arthur, yes I read enough comments with alarm bells ringing saying back away,....!!!! My multi quantity templates have shipping laid out for number of pieces they buy, why does Trade Me want to confuse us, what works for one, may not work for another, my personalized template has worked fine for years, why try and fix what is not broken?, I can see more and more just going to be arranged in the future on auctions if it gets rolled out across the board, This is one of the auctions I use Multi Quantity, I do not want to change that shipping Template, https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketp...

Callum           Drivers were never trained for the codes and sizing etc. some had absolutely no idea as to what the code meant, so pick parcels up as they are paid too, at depots, thousands of parcels daily, who is going to check individual parcels?, they did have a clamp down a while back picking them up, but I do not think that lasted long, But now smart buyers can pick it up easier, when they get a large parcel saying satchel when not a satchel at all? because when we pay appropriate shipping for what we are buying, that we know we paid for a large parcel, but labels indicate booked a...

Yes, I get it too, I am on Fire fox,

Howold       What on earth are you going on about?, and why tag me?, really?  You are obviously not a seller and do not see the bigger picture that we do and issues FALSE WATCHERS CAUSE !!!!, now they have been removed life is better, we only get genuine new watchers now, not watchers that have no idea they are still watching?, no Blacklisted watchers rolling over that can never buy, and likely some watchers have not been on trade me for weeks / months, but just keep rolling over with the relists, it was just rubbish,     Edited in line with Community guidelines

Yes, this is very poor thought out idea, You should never restrict pick ups for locals only!,  Years ago when I allowed pick ups, I sold a good barely used awning off my Classic Beach 70's (Inherited) Caravan (no longer Road worthy, would never be moved either), as was never used, no space to even put it up, just took up storage, But the buyer who was after that brand and size drove all they way up from New Plymouth, as a rare find, they had other trades to pick up also en route, so they had a good weekend on the road collecting there trades, another fragile Item I had, buyer drove hours to...

keripete  Some of us are still using our old custom saved Templates, as never changed over to the new ones for this reason, as they restricted what we could enter, no free form we still have. In keeping the old Templates, I had to give up use Multi Quantity listings in my Products which were forcing the new Templates on us to use that, so still have the update to new Template, in my face, which we have to be careful when we edit the templates to update prices, not to click the Blue update Button, But others came to message boards with the pro's and con's of new templates, which made some o...

Thanks for this, As I notice too in last couple of weeks no automatic watchers, no automatic views, no more stalking by Blacklisted members, as it felt like they were stalking week after week, that were wasting my time, doing manual FPO's as the only watchers on some, one member watching nearly every auction, that could never buy, never removed items from their watchlists, I am glad they have made the change,  and the reality shows Trade Me is dying, so many no views at all now, 

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,
