As a Casual sellers, we have also been hit with automatically having payments made using the FINTECH option of PING with recent listings so it's not just InTrade users. There's serious problems with Automated systems when they lack Human Intervention. Have a read of the DUA 2025 Act UK relating to Data User Access. Wouldn't trust any FINTECH intermediary as there's a vast range of non compliance with them. They merely gaining access to our private sensitive information, no doubt with Reseller options so are putting us all at risk. Just because "Deregulation" came into play in the 1980's it...

A heads up folks, those so called Fee Free listing promotions to Casual Sellers includes a dirty Fish Hook, all include and are Opted in to use PING and NO Bank account Option available. So a blanket approach and coercion is been used to stop people passing out Bank account details to others. May we assume this is to stop scammers and financial crimes? The reality is, the banks have the option to use Human Intervention with Match, Partial Match or No Match.   FinTechs offering Payment systems, which is what PING appears to be doesn't.   There's a can of worms here with Regulations surroundi...

Which Buyers prefer PING Michelle? Local traders or the International ones who have been listing since APAX took over Trade Me?   Where's the survey published so we can all make an informed choice and decision?   Incidentally there's requirements in law for all parties to adhere to Rule of Law.   How do PING carry out any Due Diligence, Enhanced Due Diligence etc if they can't access our private Financial information? Open Access banking in general is a disaster unless one wants Big Brother in control of our day to day lives without independence.  

Gosh, to put this problem of Opted in by default, could you imagine if all men were sent a letter and automatically Opted in to receive Women's health care services? And vice versa? It's not the done thing to automatically Default all to the same settings.   Good old Nudge Unit and Behavior Scientists at it in the background once again.

Not always possible to update browsers for whatever reason and we must be mindful and consider those who are unable to update browsers, devices etc, just like the 50 k people still only able to access 3 G. Oh for the days when Logic was applied in society and telecommunications provisions.

One has to question if some of these changes are as a direct result of all the Data Protection breaches through various websites including Ggle who have all been hit with Fines?   There's always a bigger picture out there.   Those who have incurred those fines will also be looking to recuperate costs and monies.   They have all been told to tidy up there acts.   It's important to be aware what else is going on Internationally in other countries so keep abreast with Judicial news.

Where is the information on this L?

Can we suggest those of you who have contributed or read this topic, write to APAX, ask them questions directly and tell them your opinion so they can address these negative consequences within there UK office? Include a copy of the relevant topics here in Community.   Speaking up and writing to APAX may give us a better voice.  

We could of course all write directly to APAX and tell them directly how we feel and include a copy of the information in here and on other NZ social media discussions groups.   Perhaps that's a more effective way to address these issues.   Let us know how you get on should one write directly to them.

Lyndyann  There's been a few of us both Sellers and Buyers not receiving emails in our Electronic mail boxes.   Have a browse through others community centre contributions.   Have you considered writing directly to APAX who own TRADE Me how this failure of service has happened to you?   Maybe we should all start hand writing to them.   Don't you love this Door to Door salespersons regulations through Digital online open Access platforms?   At least when we had newspaper Advertising we either got a stamped addressed letter picked up from our rural delivery letterboxes or Post Office  deliver...
