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.
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.
@Kate, do you need the pickup only option? At least for me with the free shipping template, the pickup option still shows on the listings, I don't need to add anything to the new shipping template for that. It looks like the pickup option is seperate from this new shipping system, from what I can tell. Unless I'm miss understanding your issue.
