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

In the last drop down product box, it will offer you rural

I reflect sentiments of those above really. When Ping was introduced I was very sceptical ( tightass begrudging TM extracting more fees from me). However once I took it up was happy with it for its reasonable cost. Transactions flow smoother and quicker, refunds if needed are easily done. Also 80% of buyers use it, but I also accept some buyers don't want to for what ever reason so keep bank deposit option for them. I believe as Ping is so commonly used now many buyers are likely to pass a purchase by if ping is not offered, especially if there are similar items readily available on TM. And...

While you may think that $5.60 is expenvive, try and break it down into its components. GSt is 73c, the courier driver for pickup and delivery is at least $1 (50c for each action. so $5.60 is now down to $3.87. It then has to be sorted in both the incoming and outgoing depot, say 50c each, thats $1. It then has to go on a truck between depots. If its a nationwide price for the ticket, then they average out transport costs throught nz, that maybe another $1. We are now at $1.87 which is left to pay the courier compay management, profit for the company and pay their insurance on the parcel. S...

Passthe parcel are usually an Oct/ Nov annual price increase. However, my guess is as they have no FAF compontent, they may well raise the prices earlier this year to reduce their reduce in margin

One would have to wonder though why the seller is being so difficult. As a seller I would be happy to get the deal done in the agreeded time frame what ever payment form is offered. To me it shows potential red flag that the car is not as described, or that the seller does not have the right to sell the car (possibly does not own it or the car is on finance and cannot be sold until finance paid off. I would proceed with caution and get a few written and signed receipt of any monies paid and also photo drivers licence and ownership details

Nobody is neccesarily at fault. But it maybe that the parcel is delivered and 1/ they have not found it(left behind bush of furniture for security) or 2/ somebody else in the house may have recieved it but not told reciever or 3/ it was stolen.  A question to ask is how can NZ post verify it has been delivered to the named address (photo/ GPS cordinates of scanner) or just the word of the courier. It is also possible you in error put an incorrect address (if not copied and pasted from TM), or it is even possible (thinking Maliciously) the buyer selected non signature so they could recieve i...

Perhaps a painful lesson learnt. While I have a few regular customers who I know and trust have goods before payment, in other cases would never let goods go before payment.  How long has it been since they picked up? It maybe that they genuinly forgot and not looked at any email reminder you sent them, always start from the positive side rather than assume they are the bad bay.  Keep at them to pay. If they do not pay let them know if payment not received by a certain date and time , that you will place red feedback stating their facts and noting their dishonesty. If you place red feedback...

Yes, it can be refunded straight away now callum. It changed at some stage in theses covidy times and has been that way at least 9 months.
