Carrie Another thing you can do is go to your E-Mail settings, and select to be E-Mailed when Out bid, That way you know an bid has been removed in a very short space of time, and when no questions asked on Auction?, good sign shill bidding going on & contact Trade Me, let them know and ask them to remove your bid, Re bid where it was, if happens again, you will know dodgy, It happened many years ago to me, got E-Mail out bid, checked auction no leading bid?, but my bid bid up to the last odd cent I had on it, leading bid had been removed, after I looked at other auctions of different item...

Genie If you are Intrade or not, you are allowed to charge more than what the courier charges, to cover costs, Packaging, Ink Labels etc if you print your own, as long as it is not excessive, ie $1- $2 is fair, and the intrade Discount, once the fees we pay on shipping are added on, comes back to casual rate, So never charge less than the casual rate as it averages out to casual rate, If your shipping is clearly on the auction, which buyer forms a contract with when they bid, they have no right to come back and ask for a part refund, If NZ post unavailable they are still getting a courier ...

Genie Hi, they only get the link to their won auction and Link to tracking page to track their item, They do not get any other information, they do not know what you paid for actual Courier unless they use it themselves, Aramex have 2 Letter codes in conjunction with sized booked, NZ Post has a lot of Numbers, so no idea, I have not worked that out yet, so regular uses know, if it has been booked incorrectly on Receiving their parcel, ie paid for a big Parcel JJ code but only booked as a small bag JQ code!! and seller pocket the difference, !!, I have struck this quite a few times, This is...

Malcolm   🤦‍♀️ Because what you are asking is similar to getting addresses sent manually, in the same Ball Park, a nightmare, can you not connect the scenarios for both?, getting addresses sent manually after a buyer has won a nightmare, and then getting them to select shipping after they have won, same ballpark so to speak, A Nightmare,you end up having to send E-Mails to chase them up, it is taking the system away from being automated, it is a backward step, and more headaches for sellers, we want everything automated like getting all addresses sent Automatically, so we do not have to cha...

Malcolm  but it would not be an improvement, it would be a backward step, and some of us have been around long enough to see that, We want all addresses to be automatically sent when an Auction is sold, no more relying on buyers to manually send them,

Malcolm  a lot of my buyers choose combining on all, no problem, no fees, as I do state I will confirm cost, choosing shipping after auction closes will be a nightmare for us sellers, like trying to get addresses out of buyers,that need to send them manually, Things need to be automated, and that includes addresses to on auctions that are bid on same as Buy now's, I am over chasing up addresses to be sent through,  

  David I hear you, especially the delivery time frames, once courier has picked up it is out of my hands, that is holding sellers to ransom, I ship quickly, but then it is what it is, I will not give buyer expectations, some have expectations without time frames on auctions,

Kathryn  So are you saying if we have our auctions set up, in My Products with our own shipping templates, (Not Buy Now), but normal auctions, when we list them Trade Me is going to override our shipping templates we have set up?, as I will be starting to list again today, but may have to re-valuate the situation before I go ahead, Can any one clarify this please?,

Use the Address checker to check, https://www.addresscheck.co.nz/ some urban addresses are Rural with other carriers like Aramex as outside their delivery Zones, this is why I like flexibility in my Shipping options, because I can just go and use NZ Post, Hence I do not want to state on my auctions what carrier I use, my shipping rates are set on an average between the Book a Courier Couriers, so using the more costly NZ post is already covered,

Malcolm   yes it is Malcom, in the past I have asked sellers to enter tracking number there, so I can track, been trying to educate some, I wish sellers using desk top and My Products did it automatically, I am over chasing sellers for tracking numbers,
