Thanks for asking this, I was about to ask the same! Funnily enough because a seller has suggested I could combine shipping with her husband's items, so she put her husband's member name into all her listings. But those don't come up when I search for his name either! (even copy/pasted from her listings)I did find him using Gary's tip about the desktop profiles page.And thoroughly agree that TradeMe's "improvements" have made it harder to find things quickly.Especially the quirk that narrows your search results to a particular category (based off its algorithm) instead of all categories lik...

Hey Nick, is that like the mythical McD's "secret menu", ie you can only find it by already knowing about it? lolTrademe needs to have an easy and obvious way to find sellers by name.

Not everyone's going to type out a whole web address on their offsite advertising/notices, and if it's too fiddly/annoying for a buyer to access many buyers won't bother.

Yvonne, considering I've just noticed 20-odd notifications and most seems to be one line from Heather, I suspect a  mod has decided she was trolling/spamming and cleaned up by removing all her comments. Lucy> TradeMe made so many changes that long time users are essentially having to relearn how to use many features as if from scratch. Helpful functions that had been obvious before now have to be searched for in the "Help" pages, yet even then many don't actually come up when average joe tries to search for them? But its good to see a TM staff member actually looks at the forums.

Heather, hit the "unfollow" button under the original post. Should work. Well, I'd expect it to work anywhere except TM right now, anyway.
