Hi Adriel. I've never seen a published list, but Trademe uses a subset of the markdown html language. There are some basic formatting things you can use so just have a bit of a play and see what's what. You need to ensure there are no spaces between the special chars and your words eg this = ** not bold**, but this = **bold** . In a sentence, if you want just one word **bold** then just put the asterisks around that word. Markdown========*I'm italic***I'm bold*****I'm bold and italicised***# I'm a heading~~I'm struck through~~- Bulleted list item 1- Bulleted list item 2

Hi Gary. Trademe have changed their authorisation login system recently, which seems to be causing lots of problems as different pages use different auth systems. It keeps logging me out and even when clicking from one logged in page to another. Lots of errors come up on the Motors start listing page, including auth errors. I get the same problem as you, ie the grey car and nothing else. I got around this by doing this. Go to Trademe home page. Log out While logged out, go to the homepage, then Motors, then Sell my Vehicle, then Cars. Then click either by plate or manually. You are now aske...

Good that you have had some contact. A week is the general time unless something else has been organised. Give them a set day to receive payment by and stick to it. If that day comes and no payment, then apply to Trademe for a fee refund. They will give the buyer 3 days to reply. If they don't reply to Trademe, after those 3 days you'll get a refund of your fees. Leave feedback and relist. Genuine buyers will have no problem paying before pickup, and that's the usual way for contactless transactions these days anyway.

TM phoned me today after my problems with it. I detailed my problems and the shortcomings the new system had. They have disabled it for now (no longer showing in my My Products), so hopefully it's the same for everyone now and back to normal till they maybe work through some of the problems. My main problems were that I had recently added a line to all my templates and had the $ sign in the text of the shipping option to make it abundantly clear, and this was not liked by the new template system, causing all of mine to not list and give the std listing failure error. Unfortunately they had ...

If you still get an error in BAC when using address manually, or just 1 courier rather than 2 show in the list it is usually the post code not recognised Repeat manual entry, ie choose Can't find your address?Put in the addressLeave out suburb (This is the important part).Put in city/town and post code if you know it's correct, else click on the find Post code button to go to the NZPost website and find it there.Click the Update address button, and both couriers should pop up.If there is still a problem, it suggests the post code is still incorrect.Repeat the procedure, but look up the addr...

If it's in My Products, you can't delete an old shipping template. You've never been able to in MP, but you can rename it eg if you renamed it to zz-obsolete1 it would appear at the bottom of the list, so it might not bother you so much.

As a buyer, i prefer to get tracking info when it is booked as that confirms the seller has my order in hand as has arranged pickup, even if it is for the next day. Many sellers don't provide tracking till asked, and many don't email at all, so it is just a mystery until the item arrives. As a seller, i email when an item sells and thank buyer for order and advise them they will receive email when courier booked and that i will place feedback when order is collected and and on the way. When courier has picked up, i place feedback saying so.

You can change your name on your profile by yourself, but you'll need to ask Trademe if you want to change your membername. Have a read of the Help pages here concerning changing your membername and other details, specifically the section Update your username

No Sarah, unfortunately the sellers membership location is not necessarily the location of the items for sale and the location filter for buying is set to use the sellers membership address rather than the product location. We have been asking Trademe for some years to make the buying location filters use the product location rather than the membership location, but no change, as yet. All you can do is set the location when searching to NZ, then add a - "china" to your search string and also look at the shipping time estimates although not all sellers use those. Worse than what you mention ...

Yes, it would be good to hear Trademe's reasoning behind this change as it makes no sense at all to me. Maybe they were getting inundated with requests via chat for questions to be removed or something. Very strange.
