They do all still work, I just tried it. How did you use it?
Yeah, listing visibility is all over the show. Even doing a search for something and refreshing gets you more or less results each time.
My theory is they axed it because most buyers didn't know it was a thing and not enough sellers made use of it. Of course TradeMe could've made it clearer to buyers, but chose not to. Maybe one day they'll reintroduce it in the new UI one day, in a better form.
Never knew Pass the Parcel was integrated into BAC once, that's wild. But I suspect you're right, as it was in TM's old help pages. But yeah, if you get pre-made bags at say DLE size, there is only so much height you can fit into it. I used to (and still do) re-use larger bags, but just tape them down into a smaller size, which is why I initially went looking for bag height.
A few years ago I remember reading 10cm being max height for bags on some TM docs, but can't find it back now.
Hmm weird, yeah I can't find the tracking details anywhere on the new page either :( I've left feedback to TradeMe, hopefully they'll add it back. Seems like a strange thing to leave out. All I can suggest to you is to do the same, hit the "Tell us what you think" button near the bottom of the page.
Do you know what the web address is for the new won page, or is it the same as the old? old for me: https://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/Buy/Won.aspx My profile is still set on the old version (which I would like to keep, incase someone from TM reads this).
Haha all good, I knew getting pure buyers was a bit ask on here, where most will be sellers. Yeah, on occasion I've given up waiting on a courier and brought my stuff to the post shop too. But luckily our current driver has been very consistent, albeit early, but I'd rather have him consist and early, then later in the day and missing some days. Our past drivers have been very hit or miss.
Thanks Carol! Looks like sending the tracking right away is the way to go. I agree with putting tracking in the feedback, bad idea. With some shipping companies you can even see the address the parcel was delivered to, so pretty bad idea to share your tracking number to the pubic.
Hmm, that's a good point about having stock on hand, didn't think about that. It's not always a given on TM. It amazing me why some sellers don't proactively share the tracking. I even add mine into TradeMe, though I suspect few buyers realise the tracking shows up on there buy page. The odd time I forget to email tracking out, but did add it on TM, I still got email email from the buyer asking where the tracking was. I wish TM had an option to send out tracking emails when a seller adds tracking. (not just via their own BAC system). Anyway, thanks for the feedback Gary, really appreciate it.
