Simon. What is your reasoning for wanting to remove them?
I have yet to get any information from TM about the abolition of the gold rebate. Not that it bothers me, I think I have had 1 rebate in the whole time it existed
Can understand what S says. While not involved in coordinates at all in past, there can be numerous delivery boxes at one gps coordinate, so could easily be the wrong box it was delivered to. You are not able to get signatures for rural delivery however so how can a seller ever produce evidence of correct delivery there? They cannot if TM only accept a signature. The other issue with signatures is couriers forge them, or some other person at the delivery site signs for it, either under their own name, or under the receivers name(and of course then that's a false signature and not valid pe...
Lorayne. Yes, every bodies shipping costs have gone up, unfortunately like everything else we buy. In reality unless you increase shipping, you will be making less and less on each sale. Also at present the general sentiment from sellers is that sales are going down generally. Mortgage rates, fuel, food and infact most things have seen considerable rises so people have less disposable income now after paying for essentials. When setting your shipping price, be aware shipping cost is not just the courier ticket price, it includes all the other costs involved in the shipping activity. This ...
I have had 2 buyers just tonight send me wrong address. It is happening most days now wheras in the past it happened once every 3-6 months. Obviously something in the TM system has changed recently to either send incorrect addresses automatically or is not properly prompting buyers to select the correct address. No idea if this is a TM issue, a buyer issue or both. But certainly if TM members all deleted old addresses from TM , it must go someway to helping this situation rectify itself
Exactly as Gary says
Also if it is going to a rural address , often when it says delivered, it means delivered into the rural contractors depot, not delivery to the rural address. Delivery at rural addresses does not get a delivery scan
Aramex and Courier post are max 1.5m I think. Freightways group couriers go to 1.8m I think
I hate with a vengance HVL fees, I never used to have them at all but since the last 1.5 to 2 years when sales have been terrible, I have to live with it and take the 10c hits. For shannon, another way to avoid maybe to run multiple TM accounts on here so each has less listings so you dont hit the HVL. You need to get approval for this from TM, and the products in each store have to be different
Suzie. While this is happening more generally now, however there is always a surge of non payment before and after xmas. Presumably people on a buying spree then they look at their bank account and bail out. If you select Ping payment as the only payment option, then I believe buyers cannot win listing unless its paid for at the time. So this method can eliminate non payment. But saying that, this then excludes a % of the market who want to do bank deposit/ pay cash on pickup, and so you are limiting your customer base
