Tie ho, it is a contract between both parties so should be a mutually agreeable payment choice & option. Just like at ordinary shops, there may be options how to pay but ultimately it must be agreeable between both parties. Gosh, could you imagine how the ongoing saga to use Ping or Afterpay would play out if we were told that's the options to pay for one's groceries and necessities in life? It's overdue that Monopolies and Anti-Trust and Anti Competitive practices were addressed by Trade Me / APAX. It's shades of some in the 1970's and 1980's practices that came under scrutiny
That's crazy roger_269 Some people use places like Backloaders or Empty trucks or similar such services that will pick up items along there way across the countryside. Great way to get items picked up and delivered. We include in our listings for items that may be say fragile or larger that we are open to them being picked up at a later date by mutual arrangements if the person is from a different location in NZ than our own. Open lines of communication through message systems is 101 of good customer services.
It's the Multi factor carry on that's intrusive. Logging in using ones email and password is more than sufficient. Before those who keep going on here in community rave about importance of more than 1 form of ID, the more one has as options the greater the risks of Privacy and Data breaches as ones information is exposed that much more to unknown 3rd parties. There's legal requirements to comply with Data Minimisation and currently Trade Me are not.
This has been going on for a while now unfortunately. It must revert to the best practices it was previously. Clearly those involved in any Trade me / APAX consumer research has failed others.
Welcome, yes there's all the aforementioned problems you have described. Most frustrating and stupid to remove the most basic essentials including seeing who the watchers names are - without them it's become a very backwards website to operate. When we could see who the watchlisters were we could exercise our own judgement if we would make an offer, or establish if the person is a likely competitor selling similar items to check out market forces, and just general "good will" between users
No item should be sent until the money has been fully processed. Funds can still bounce back or take time to go through what's known as "clearing house" banking systems. It's not automatically guaranteed to be paid and like making Instant Noodles there's no guarantee they will process smoothly. Fintechs are also accountable and are not necessarily compliant with a number of legislative requirements. Take the time to read through legal cases and those going through processes in courts. Never assume any form of process or payment is complete on face value. There may be a "form or template" no...
It's to fiddly and complex. Trade Me / APAX should never have messed up the website. That said, by gosh, Garage Sales with signs on the street may just make an almighty comeback. Frankly we are over the Cashless / Paperless/ Digital nonsense as it's Monopolies and Anti Competitive practices all around But hey folks, Look up who attended the Bank of England training course back in 1973 - a local Economist who has ruined NZ.
This has been happening for a few months. As irritating as a rash
Michelle, you mention " just the ones that need 'fixing' are flagged.." what do you mean by that and is it AI generated? We get it re asked repeatedly about "adding photos" which are already there & assume that's BC the software/ hardware haven't quite finished processing. There's nothing coming up when we relist and there's usually always some of our listings that will relist for only 4 days and not 7.
Only other explaination could be change of Tax year and Tax status. Some people do legitimately change so maybe don't jump to conclusions without establishing all facts.
