Lexi  Make sure you request a full copy of your information and any outstanding credit on your account, if you have any as it all adds up to someone else gaining financial interest on your monies     

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.

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.

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.

Keyword in relation to Non-Delivery is in the first sentence, " You 'May' be eligible... " It doesn't say you won't be so it is misleading to say items are not covered by NZ Post as it's in there own Terms and Conditions and incorporated into NZ Postal Services Legislation.  New Zealand Post have traditionally been very helpful when items may have gone astray in the system. It's a known fact they used to have a problem with some staff in sorting rooms stealing cash and cheques out of envelopes, including from Charities in earlier times, now we are all paying the price for the minority. Ther...

Keith, it would be good if we could all do that. Another alternative is to go back to pen & notebook Leger style with a description of the items and details of purchaser.   Sometimes those tried and true Paper based systems are more cost efficient as one doesn't need to log on to a computer, not worry about power outages or flat batteries trying to access accounts.   Another option is to keep a USB dusk and itemise and detail sales that way, alas you will have to update it as you go..  

A number of users have stated that Trade Me emails are either not been delivered or are ending up in Email Junk mail box so check there to.   Guess email providers settings auto bot pick up certain keywords and are dumping them where they choose too.   AI in its advancing years needs a hit on the head out the door. It's as dumb as they said it would be.  

Trade Me need to return the valued feature of seeing who our Watchers are so we can use our intelligence to decide if we make a Fixed Price Offer.   It's function over reach to have our rights over ridden likely because of some person undertaking a Privacy program in another country that's now rolled out here - look up what's going on in Ontario, Canada with this in relation to Online marketplaces and also Know Your Customer programs.   It should not be decided by AI, nor someone who is not walking in our shoes.   Once again, where's the application of logic?   We have had exactly the same ...

Not sure if you can blame Rural buyers as it's also a Postal service and Courier delivery issue and that of Templates. Some of these challenges for us all go back to the era of Deregulation and Centralized of services which is when our Government signed contracts with Microsoft to provide digital services and we lost logic we had with Paper based Systems.   We too have problems with some, generally newer migrants, Post office staff not knowing locations as they don't have the geography Education us locals were taught at school in NZ. Be understanding and explain it to your buyers.
