this is a total money grab by trademe and a kick in the teeth for intrade sellers,especially the smaller ones that are struggling to survive in the current econony,,as a intrade seller i pay a success fee based on the sale value whicjh i dont mind  as i use the site to sell,but im also forced into paying a fee on my shipping cost which is totally uncalled for as trademe is not involved in my packing and shipping process at all and now  we are being forced to accept ping payments so now trademe feels justified in charging in trade sellers 3 sets of fees,trademe should be supporting its intra...

This is going to perpetuate so much fraud by buyers,ive lost count of the amount of times ive had buyers claim an item wasnt as described,not working or faulty in some way and when they are told to return the item at my cost and once received and there if there is the isdue they decribed i will refund them in full including return postage and then i never hear ftom them,now under the new system they will just be able to lodge a dispute and get refunded and then the seller is left not only out of pocket with no item as well as out of pocket for shipping costs,stuff like this could have a s...

callum   re your reply to my comment saying If a buyer pays with Ping and lodges a dispute, they still have to send the item back to you (tracked) so you can assess the item before making your decision on refund/repair/replace.,i think you will find that in that situation if the item is found to be not faulty then nothing will change,i for one would not pay for return shipping until after i received the item and i doubt that trademe would have no legal authority to refund more than the original ping payment if the item is found to be not faulty,and that would still leave the seller out of p...

Another weird thing i just noticed is that when i went into the community posts area i was logged in to my personal trademe profile,but at the top of the page its saying im logged in under my intrade profile even though i never switched profiles

This is getting really bad,trademe has now locked me out of accessing the desktop version of my sold items on my personal profile and with no search function on the sold items in the new look trademe,i mow have several items been paid forthat should have been packed tonight but there is no longer anywhere on trademe i can put the p reference in to find what auctions the payments are for,not to mention having a couple of traders bought several items over the last couple of weeks for both pickup and combined shipping and now i cant search their username in my sold items to find out what they ...
