Further to the original question. Something listed on the free listing day sells, and is also offered out at a FPO because you have 2 of them. If accepted does the second sale also have free success fees?
Yes I have had it for the odd trade a few times. The address email is sent from trademe but in the address area it states: "Buyer to pick-up or make arrangements directly with the seller" Even though they have selected a shipping option
Sounds like you've acted very reasonably - unfortunately some traders can be fickle with others for their random reasons. Good luck with getting your refund
Make sure you've provided them with your address too
Michelle - unfortunately in the real world it doesnt work like that for 3 reasons - 1) auction shipping costs (regardless of where the quote is sourced from) has no mention in the auction that it's an estimate so widely regarded as the fixed amount, 2) when you buy something, you include the shipping cost to calculate the total cost to purchase. If this is an estimate it means the total cost might be more than you want to spend, 3) when bidding it is considered a contract/agreement between you and the buyer - how can the shipping be changed legally?
If you've only done 200 odd trades then wait until you hit 1000 or 5000, or more. Ive sometimes waited 3 weeks for a payment, after reminders and trademe intervention. Is it frustrating, yes - but they didnt eventually pay so all worked out. If you want to cancel the trade you can as it is outside of trademes policy, so just do it. However, you do realise if you relist it, wait a week and assuming it sells again then wait a bit more time to receive payment, that this will be longer than the 2 extra days the current buyer is making. If your auction states cash as a payment option then he can...
Well 7 days would make it Tuesday, but are you really worried about cancelling a trade because of 2 extra days? A sale is a sale after all.
This is the trap I fell into when I first used my products. I relisted them via the unsold tab and of course myproducts did too. Once you use myproducts, there is no need to use the unsold tab at all
If you're referring to a warning giving by the banks after checking whether the account name provided matches the actual account, this in itself it not an absolute indicator of something being dodgy. I have found some honest traders that prefer not to give away their full or correct name for their own security reasons. It never mattered in the past as the banks never checked them. If the this is the case (name mismatch warning) and the item has been sent and you are still happy to proceed with the trade, then maybe consider to just pay them. Also check the buyers feedback, particularly thei...
Sellers can put in a suburb on their listing to help, but really why dont you ask a location if you're wanting to pick up?
