I made an offer on an item earlier today and have since seen a similar item for less with a buy now price. The offer hasn't been responded to yet so I am waiting until it is before doing the buy now on another as I don't need two of them. There should be a withdraw option for offers in cases like this. I will not be using the offer option in future, nor will I put it on any listing I do.

I'll give them a bit longer to respond to daily emails, but I have probably been set up as spam by now. Then I'll start doing the daily phone calls as they are a business and I have a number. They really wont like that though as I am a night worker, so a reminder call at 3am every night might just do the trick. People who steal money are scammers, so this trader definitely is one.

Daily emails to remind the of their responsibilities to either deliver the item or refund, no response. Dispute #372931, you had no luck either. This trader is bad news and should have their trading suspended or removed until all past grievances are fixed. They have stolen my payment, and it's not just a few $$  This has actually put me off using trademe, so might take a break from buying and selling for a while.

I purchased with a buy now an item for $134, not only has the seller not contacted, it has been three weeks and no item delivered, the trader said 3 - 4 days for delivery. The feedback of this seller shows that there have been many the same. If trademe is serious about making a safe place to trade, then these bad sellers should be given a warning and a time frame to either complete the trade or refund the purchaser in full. If they don't improve their ways then they should be hit where it hurts an have their trading rights either suspended or removed altogether.. Very disappointing.
