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.  

Most crime involving Financial matters is by someone who one has had previous Communications with, including Business Process Outsourcing contracted agents.   Have a read of the case involving Stephen Valsako ASB Remuera.

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.
