AJ  Were the traders you were paying New Zealand based locals? A drop based trader with an outlet here? Or an International overseas based trader?   Regardless, everyone should be factoring into account monies transfered don't always equate to a successful payment transaction as there may well be insufficient funds for whatever reason, including non payments from other parties as we have seen so often over the years because of Hardware and Software problems Internationally. Once again, a link to none other than Billy Bot and the National Cash Register system.   Cash is King / Queen and alwa...

If our financial institutions were adhering to Rule of Law, with the basics and opened banks back up in our communities, many of the issues raised with payments would disappear overnight.   Asking for online ID and Biometrics must comply with all manner of Regulations to comply with the Privacy Act and is no guarantee to verify one and the same person. Anyone recall the collapse of Lombard Finance? Or Tower Finance? Look up the names of those people and it's merely the same sewerage seeping out involving the same Pass the Buck .   One must always have hands on checks and balances for Know Y...

This goes back to the use of Forms & Templates having transitioned to Digitisation robotics/ automation using a semi- conductor from Paper based systems unfortunately. There's many an example of these problems completing them without being afforded the choice to indicate yes or no or whatever like we all have been provided with prior to the current Digitalised systems. Hence having a real Human being involved is very important to function in society. A brickbat to the Tech / Telecommunications sector 

Still happening. Still showing a different number of listings for Sale on the left side column and that of our accounts page. Not good enough Trade Me Technical department and those in the wider scope of WWW. Please do better

Good day   Use search words related to items you are wanting to access  in your emails that Trade me have sent with copies of your listings...it pays to keep a copy of them despite them clogging up email storage ..the only problem we encounter is often the removal of photos so always keep a copy of your photos on a disk or elsewhere until you decide to do whatever you want with them. Don't just keep a copy of photos on telephone cameras as with technology there's always risks of losses of information.   Hope that helps.  

Why don't you message that you may show upon in person and ensure that no copy is to be made, as per legislation? We all have the right to know who we are interacting with and there's been many a scam, maybe they too have been caught up in a scam so exercising due diligence? Not everyone is a scammer however it's how our personal information is been collected in so many places rather than in person face to face trust of each other. It's like everyone is tarred with the same negative brush of not being trustworthy in recent years. Time for balance of scales to return..kindness! 

Is this in anyway similar to the issues many are having with lack of views and time-zones coming into play due to 'clock ' settings somewhere in the food-chain?

  This is from 2009, some of you may still have a copy of this email that did the rounds at the time relating to Instant Payment Options available and which ones' not to use.......Now it seems the worm has turned?   New Trade Me email scam doing the rounds   Thu, 10th Dec 2009 FYI, this story is more than a year old   By Staff Writer Online auction site Trade Me is warning users that a scam email is being sent to recent bidders. The scam is designed to solicit money from Trade Me users under the pretence of a 'fixed price offer' on an item that the user has recently bid on or ...

Plus 12 months to that and it still isn't fixed. The algorithm also shows our own Items as been Items we might be interested in too which has to be a joke and a half - April Fools day must be year round.
