Absolutley nothing wrong with a buyer doing a bank deposit. It will also save you ping fees on the transaction. While TM do not put bank deposit in their payment options, it is of course still a very valid option than many buyers prefer. At the end of the day as the seller has specified ping in the listing, the seller can demand that, or cancel the trade, but why would you when payment by bank deposit is actually worth more than payment by ping as ping incurs fees. There is a large amount of buyers out there still wishing to pay by bank deposit

Callum. While most listings should be able to list shipping costs as on courier, there are cases where larger items going by heavy freight have pretty much a different shipping cost to each town, and often different between suburbs in same town. To further complicate heavy freight, their rates are often spot rates, so vary day to day depending on demand in the freight sysyem. So simply not possible to quote a shipping rate in those cases.

I belive aramex have no "cubicizer" machine that automatically calculates vol and weight and checks it with the paid barcode. So yes, on aramex you could send a live horse through their system with a DLE ticket on its back and it would get through unless a real human checked it, but in reality I suspect they have next to nobody checking tickets. NZ post is a totally different game and they have the cubicizer machine and it can pickup under ticketed packages easily. A few years ago NZ post were ferociously nasty with the settings on the machine and 1% vol out and you got fined (and lets face...

I very frequently have buyers purchace numerous items to ship to the same address. My issue is that some of my items are tiny (could get 50pc in a DLE bag,) and some items are the max size a courier can carry so have an automated combining is impossible for TM to calculate. So I state in my listing that we always combine shipping where possible and refund all excess shipping. I would literally refund $300-500 in shipping each week. Works very well and buyers see your honesty and then frequently place more orders

Its difficult. You as a seller are responsible to get the item to the buyer undamaged. It was damaged (for what ever reason) so you are responsible. With the claims process, that is between the Seller and the courier company ( the buyer is not involved), and the result of that does not affect your liability for broken product on arrival to the buyer. And yes, its unfortunate that the courier requires packaging photos for the claim, but buyer had already disposed of packaging. That however is not the buyer at fault as they did not know they had to do that. In future for breakable items, mayb...

OP. You are covered under the Contractual Mistakes Act 1977 where  if a price is offered and that is a  genuine error, you are not obliged to go through with the transaction

I can still use the post auction email to contact them

Michelle, I agree with S. Many traders have mentioned about this, I believe there is a site wide block on editing / deleting feedback after the 45 day mark. I dont believe it is limited only to a small number of listings in a small number of categories as you have suggested

shortsbrandy. The only payment options that can be listed on a listing are ping, afterpay or cash. That does not mean a trader cannot pay to a bank account. Since TMs changes, I have noticed a heap of traders now selecting cash and then paying to a bank account. This is clearly a preference for many buyers and they feel more comfortable  with not using ping
