What would be cool is if TM's system tracked your order once shipped, and just automatically set the eta, depending on real world data. Then it'll be more realistic when things slow down due to covid or whatever. Also prevents people from saying they ship faster than they really do.
Also, this is what it looks like for free shipping once setup, on the app. PS, sorry it's so huge, I don't know how to change the size on here.
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.
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.
Yeah I got my email at 10:30am today too. Here is the help article I got linked: https://www.trademe.co.nz/c/marketplace/article/my-products-how-to-guide---shipping-templates My question is, what's the difference between "Express (0-1 days)" and "Express (0-1 days)"... And where is NZPosts (overnight 1-2 days) option? And how do I add both Urban and Rural times with free shipping, Urban fits in fine, but there is no option to add Rural. I offer free shipping, which goes for both rural and urban, how are they calculating for Rural people if I don't have an option for it. Not to mention, both...
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.
