And I just noticed that TM has breached my privacy, without notice, by sharing my full name on this post. What a crappy experience TM is turning into.

I have no idea what the comment above means.

"The hacked account would have had enough credit to cover the Success Fee - otherwise the listing would not have been allowed to proceed" Not  my experience, normally when I am selling the success fee will make my account overdrawn which blocks me from creating further listings. At that point TM do not have the cash, just an accounting transaction which they will reverse. I cannot see them crediting it to the scammed member. FYI, the private equity crowd (Apax) that bought TM in 2019 are looking at floating it on the sharemarket in 2024 so they will have iron tight control over costs to boo...

My guess is that they will not have received their commission because the hacked account would have had a zero balance, and your payment did not go via Ping etc. Still it is worth asking.

Be careful, there are a number of TM accounts that have been hacked and the payment details go to a bank where your money will very quickly be whisked offshore.

TM need to up their game, they are facilitating fraud in this country. If they cared, or were forced to care, about their "members" they would routinely deactivate accounts which have not been used for years. Also they are now too stingy to pay the postage for address verified so we really a...

Thanks Callum, their feedback was okay when I checked it (prior to purchase when I could read it). TM have confirmed the account has been disable. My problem with them is they did not alert me to that - I could have paid the scammer in the interim. Also their stupid 500 error indicates an internal problem with the site, when it is nothing of the sort - it is as much use as 418 "I'm a teapot" response. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418 Unfortunately TM was sold to a money grubbing investment fund a few years back, which has resulted in fee hikes and staff cuts to p...
