Very bad move, I for one am not happy, everyone sells different items at different costs, I sell lots of low cost parts, and want to offer them at fair low prices, a lot are single $1 reserve, buy Now?, these will no longer be viable with ping fees, the Intrade 9.9% fees & on shipping now are killing us in Category I sell in, Ping is good if you are just selling one off Items, But not for all of us that have consistent Multi buyers as offer a large range of items / Parts, We already have the option to use it, but choose not to for personal reasons, What part of that do Trade Me not underst...
Andrea Like you, I have a lot of elderly Customers who want to pay via Internet Banking, and there are a lot out there who do not have credit cards, I am looking at it like this, that the good sellers are now being punished to cover the bad sellers, where Trade Me have to refund buyers that have paid Via Ping because of Faulty goods, no goods received etc. It is unfair & wrong, they are literally going to steal from us against our will? It is not right at all, Yet, look at some of those bad sellers about time some were removed, shocking feedback from buyers not receiving their items, 3 st...
And on another note, A lot of my customers buy stuff for schools, Playgroups, Toy Libraries etc. who can only pay by bank deposit. They cannot use Ping, so will I lose customers, Income, because they want to profit off me, being forced to use Ping against my will?, Some of us struggle now, They are literally going to be taking food out of others mouths, Just because we are Intrade does not mean we are big Professional sellers making thousands, we are just stay at home people trying to make ends met honestly, so do not sell every week, just a few weeks here and there at a time, Why penalize ...
Peter I have sold on Trade Me for over 20 years, had in excess well over 20,000 sales, have 100% feedback, my lower feedback number reflects I have many repeat returning customers?, and yes a lot of Organizations that can only pay by Bank Transfer as no Credit card, yet these numbers mean absolutely nothing to Trade Me, I am now being punished un fairly?, I will now be held at ransom to use ping against my will, discriminated against, lose business because I cannot run my business my way and offer my repeat customers Internet banking, They are interfering with the way we want to do things,...
Robert Over the years it is the casual sellers that I have raised disputes with, even some that used Ping, goods not as described or received, not Intrade Sellers, and yes some of these should Indeed be Intrade, a couple of years ago got sent a box of rubbish I wanted to return for refund, seller refused & sent nasty E-Mails & I was left out of pocket at Xmas, these are the sellers that should have ping forced on them, So why Jump on all Intrade Sellers?, we all do not fit in the same Box?, By forcing Ping on us we are getting branded as bad sellers?, No we are not, If I can not offer Ban...
If you go to a browsing page in a category, go to blue refine button, It is in there way down at the bottom, search expired listings, It will take you to the old expired listings page,
Martin I feel the same, it was forced on us during Covid, absolute night mare for multi buyers, I refuse to use ping, I will still be offering Bank deposit, they cannot stop that if it is in your footer on Auction, and I will be making it clear at the top, otherwise I will be losing Customers left right & Centre, that do not have credit cards or cannot use Ping as Schools, Playcentres, Toy Libraries etc. where purchases must be approved by a 2nd person, Trade Me have not put thought into this and looked outside the Box, appalling, Some have absolutely no idea how traders and business...
sofairways Yes, my sales went way down, I have a lot of buyers that cannot use Ping as organizations that need 2 people to sign off for a Bank transfer, Had people using cart which has caused a major headache, not suitable for us little sellers whom sell small parts etc. mine is not set up as do not want to use it, someone put 20+ items in cart and expected it to be shipped for $6 my cheapest shipping?, another had no shipping, so it is just stupid as I still have to ask for the outstanding shipping to be paid via Bank deposit?, I have just listed some bigger items with no Buy Now's s...
Gary-NZStocked Likewise, I do not want after pay or even ping, I put all my listings up for 10days no buy Now's on Sunday night before the enforcement, Bank deposit worked just fine for me I will still be offering it if anyone asks, and I will deal with the changes when I get back home, and change my footer etc.
neilz In reality, I think the overseas sellers are ones causing most issues where goods are not received and Ping has to be refunded, under Ping protection, which we will be funding if Ping forced on us, You just need to look at some of the feedbacks, and the feedback ratings, Some oversea sellers need to go, and should have been banned along time ago, and some are just well overpriced with their shipping etc. added in (Free Shipping) as a lot of stuff is easily accessible here in shops etc.
