No Success fees? Hold on, who is paying fees for what again these days? Interesting especially when one looks at the items in the advertisement design - potential value of items.
Trade Me, Customs Department and Comcom should be clamping down on sellers of what is frequently Counterfeit Perfume - it's illegal to sell or buy them and has been for years as is evidenced in International courts of law. It also comes under the control of AML / CFT laws. Best to stamp the problems out before they get listed or enter any other countries. If Customs Department are reading this, please help as prevention is much more cost effective all around.
It's a pain when one is trying to sell brand new items that have never been used that one has been given to. Not helpful to anyone trying to downsize or have genuine household cull of belongings when people suggest to others to search only "used" items. Trade Me need to sort out there Act and stop relying on AI, this is so obvious with Drop Dumping of goods in NZ that should never have made it through Customs let alone how have some these people opened Bank accounts in NZ? Perhaps they are the ones who use FINTECHS for trade and helped push the removal of a NZ Bank account system whereby th...
Edit The problem is Flossy63 , ( comma inserted ) they have now removed etc. Gosh hope you didn't think we were blaming you Flossy63!
Valina_k It's a public holiday weekend so maybe they are away or not able to access the internet as often as others. If the sale is under a certain amount, you could always ask for cash payment.
Make sure that just because monies transfer within a short timeframe, it doesn't include if those funds are cleared or not. Banks are a form of "Clearing house". Like all systems there's risk factors. Caveat emptor.
The problem is Flossy63 They have now removed Sellers choice to see who is Watchlisting so makes it worse to establish just who is lurking. We are sure you too have had Watchers who have selected items just in case the item they are after is not listed. It's senseless we consumers are denied access to seeing who is interested and form our own decisions. We get it and understand where it's a Live Property purchase they have such a restriction, but for 2nd hand items it's beyond belief and stupid
Scotty59 If you have cash credit in your Trade Me account that may be able to work. The main thing to remember as a buyer now is obligations where required to to pay fees that sellers used to pay. Note that Trade Me sellers have to pay a percentage fee if paid using PING and that is taken out of our balance. It's a tad messy to say the least
Dannyh Did either buyer contact you? See all the posts in here where emails are going into junk mail and we are all having this problem. It's likely Software and Telecommunications network failures, a little like Beta testing of MS 2 in 1987 and sharemarket crash the same week - a serious failure of service by those selling junk systems that don't function for a wide number of reasons.
That bugs been here at least 6 months. It's a pain as it rarely automatically updates the listing number we have until it's too late. We try to be more alert when we know we are around say 35 items to play safe
