Nothing to do with the $0.01 cents PING. Howold - it's not a conspiracy. You may be getting confused with the message that your starting bid must be less than your buy now. There is no reason/policy from trademe that the FPO cant be less than the buy now. If you are getting these messages, next time take a screen shot and send it to trademe because it must be a bug.

Yes you are correct, but to be fair you didnt mention which catagory you were trying to change

Come categories cannot be changed due to different pricing structures

Thank you S and Michelle for your responses. You've confirmed my understanding. westham60 - not necessarily Just to hopefully clarify what maybe confusing - excluding the buyer and seller, there are 2 players involved where it comes to this. 1 - NZ Post. If the item is sent UNTRACKED, NZ Post will not provide any compensation for an item not delivered. I guess the reason for this is there is no evidence of an item being sent, whereas tracked items have the evidence. 2 - trademe. If a dispute is raised due to non-delivery of a UNTRACKED item because the buyer and seller cannot resolve, trade...

Hi S, I'm interested in your statement "Post by mail isn't covered under Buyer Protection if there's no signature required tracking attached to confirm if parcel is lost or delivered and possibly stolen from the mailbox, porch etc." I have a current issue at the moment that Im trying to navigate and I think this might be useful and help. Are you able to provide a link to the policy on this? 

Was the original quote from NZ post?

Oh my gosh that sounds so frustrating. Happy to help and I really hope it works.
