WoW! Callum, - Thank you for this valuable insight at how advanced the imitation is - Much appreciated 😊👍
Kia Ora Scott, Have you reported this with evidence to NZ Post? - this sounds like some deep infiltration into their system to link a parcel recipient of theirs up with a Live Tracking number! Thanks for the heads up - Much appreciated 😊
Kia Ora M, Sorry to read of the trouble you are experiencing, No! Blacklisting does not prevent Members from requesting Relists. As your concerns are genuine and have restricted you from Selling on the platform I recommend voicing this with TM staff who will be able to investigate further and apply any warnings and/or account restrictions deemed necessary. You can contact TradeMe staff through "Live Chat" to report this - once you've selected the Contact us Link at the bottom of any TM page you need to give the landing page a count of 15+ seconds for the Chat Tab to Pop up in blue at the bo...
Kia Ora David, What has happened here is another Member has placed an autobid of the same value as your highest autobid - the system can't show 2 equal autobids of the same value so it shows the first highest autobid as in an auction your opponent would have to place a bid higher - they have chosen here not to do that. Refer to the Help section Auto-bidding - Cheers.
Well Done Scott and for spotting the scam in the first place - All one can do is report to the correct place and remain vigilant - Cheers.😊
Kia Ora Kodie, Yes! You are correct - I am on an HP Laptop, Windows 10, MSEdge Browser on the Desktop site and have All the same issues on the TM Home Front page - We are not the only ones - this is a TM system issue - Not user. Thank you for raising this Post - Cheers.
The current favourites email design has introduced negative friction at the top of the engagement channel by reducing the number of visible new items and creating more steps for members to engage with the site. Adding a search link does not improve site click‑through because navigation was never the barrier - stimulus is. When members can no longer scan all new items at a glance, the email stops functioning as a discovery engine. A ten‑item preview trains the brain to assume “nothing new worth checking,” suppressing intent before the site is ever reached. This breaks the cycle that previo...
Kia Ora Warren, Listing the Highest shipping value first makes the Buyer actually look at the shipping costs rather than just picking the first option listed in cases when their actual address is Not the cheapest! - I think it acts as a tactical move which helps to deter wrong shipping costs being chosen in the first instance causing the many back & forth emails requesting correct shipping payment which can then drag out for several days / weeks wasting Sellers time - Cheers.
Kia Ora Eric, I'm on the Desktop site using MS Edge Browser & have no problem searching through the Expired Listings - I will put the direct Link below for you to try - Cheers. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/AdvancedSearch.aspx
