Go the to the feedback page of the seller, locate the feedback you left, and there is an "edit this feedback" link. You can only edit a feedback once, if you have already edited it before, then you can only delete it.
Yes the thought has struck me also, sometimes the category snapped to is so ridiculously wrong and only one seller has their items in there, that I wonder if it really was a mistake or if they have actually figured out "the algorithm". I usually find it is chinese sellers.
You can only put listings into "leaf" categories (the categories at the very end of the chain), in your case you would need to put the lising into Building & renovation > Bathroom > Baths > Baths Yes there are two "Baths" categories, one inside the other, you must use the deepest one, that is the "leaf" (just like trees have a leaf on the end of a branch).
The T&C require you to... [To sell] from a country other than New Zealand, you'll need to offer buyers the option of paying by at least one of: Ping, Pay Now, Afterpay, or payment to a domestic New Zealand bank account. Unfortunately scammers have been using Wise NZ accounts to scam Trade Me buyers, so not too surprised that if Trade Me gets a whiff that it is a Wise account they will deny you. You may talk to Westpac, ASB or ANZ about setting up a local New Zealand account from in Australia, I think it might be possible with one of them, I forget which, although you might have to make a ...
Yes, this first claim under the new rule is so small that I'm reluctant to poke the IRD hornets nest over a couple bucks. Now the aggregator has just amended the credit to be the full inclusive amount anyway, I don't think they quite know what to do either. Seems I am the only person questioning it, expect nobody else cares or just assumes NZ Post must know what they are doing (I don't have quite so much faith).
> The hacked account would have had enough credit to cover the Success Fee - otherwise the listing would not have been allowed to proceed The success fee isn't known until the auction closes, so that is not possible. As long as your account is not negative you can create a listing, it might well go negative when the item is sold depending on the value you sell it for. This is getting pretty off-topic now.
Since it's confirmed that it's a Wise account and you didn't give the details they needed hopefully it was never released to the scammer and will be refunded to you eventually. Keep your fingers crossed!

As another posted above indicated, this is the Community Message Board, I am not Trade Me. Most likely the account you paid is a "Wise" account, Wise (ex TransferWise) operates a service where overseas people (scammers in this case, but sometimes legitimate businesses) can have a local bank account in a country for people to pay them. The account number looks just like a "normal" bank account number, and works just like one too, there is no outward sign that it is a "Wise" account to the sender. Sometimes Wise requires extra information about the sender of funds to an account before they r...
Yeah that is a scam.
