A bit depends on the exact shipping wording. Auckland super city goes from pretty much waiuku up to just north of wellsford and includes gt barrier and Kawau Island. BUT carriers zone their auckland area differently, never with any of the islands. Some carriers have an inner Auckland area (Papakura to Albany) and an outer Auckland area (papakura to Waiuku and Albany to Waiwera or Wellsford.) which is a different higher charge. Almost certainly heavy freight that would be carrying a large item like a bed would charge considerably more for the outer areas
In our listings next to the price is a TM inserted word in brackets (each). So if you are selling 10 widgets as a pack or lot, and you state in your listing that listing is for 10 widgets, but next to the price TM have written "each". So this automatically puts uncertainty and confusion in the potential buyers mind if the price is per unit, or price is for all 10 items. We all know people dont read listing details properly (if at all in some cases) and they just Zero in on the price with (each) sat beside it. I get so many questions each week asking if price is for each unit or for all 10 ...

Like many of us long term traders, as you say we have repeat buyers, and they go through tm but always pay to the bank account as they dont like ping. Now as they will only have a ping option, and they have my email address, they will now just come direct to me. In that respect good for me as I dont pay fees on that trade, bad for TM as they lose all the fees they normally would have got for those trades which were paid by bank deposit
One of the things TM did years ago was say it is essential to keep shipping costs low, so they added success fees to shipping, and what happened, shipping fees went up (of course). Now its compulsary ping, more fees and so shipping will go up again to compensate for additional fees
Enshi*tification, also known as cr*pification and platform decay, is a pattern in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers (such as advertisers), and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders. Sadly this is what is happening to TM
Tom. Understand your sentiment there, but it is still a site for used stuff, but also extended into new items which is almost certainly its dominant part now, but that is driven by public demand. All websites evolve with the times or they die. However what gets most people is the constant increase in fees, with reducing margins, and also to a huge extent TM "fixing" the site which has been a disaster for years now with no end in site. And of course the dehumanising of the site making problem solving with customer service frustrating, slow and sometimes imposible
