Thanks for the info. I imagine, since there isn't a place to put an activation number, that it's probably already activated. 

This might sound odd but I forget whether or not I went through with bank confirmation. When I look under My Trademe right now I can see that I accept Ping and Afterpay. When I select 'Manage' under AP it presents my bank account number (not sure if it's been there because I signed up for Ping in past or if I did actually confirm AP) The bank no. under Manage AP is still editable and there's a note mentioning the one cent confirmation process - perhaps that is just to alert me if I edit and save a different bank number...

Thanks, Callum I didn't understand what auto-bid was for so I didn't opt for it and now the auction is priced at my max bid. Now I know for future reference. =)

Thanks, Gary My concern was more someone claiming legal enitltement to some form of compensation because of a rogue payment to my bank account which I ignored. According to this user  https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/community/posts/9598224691087-Who-here-knows-what-Dosh-is-when-Payment-appears-in-your-account-from-Dosh She couldn't refund the rogue sender. Using some common knowledge however my goods sell for under a hundred dollars so I can't see any obligations especially with a trail demonstrating that the rogue payment was with intention to manipulate or harrass.  

"Dosh" is a crass term for Money. Usually used by comic book characters like Dick Tracy criminals. You also answered a concern that I was having. Too bad you can't reply back to their bank account making an entry that says 'Tanks, Guv'nor.' If the amount is under a few hundred dollars they'll have an ass time finding a lawyer to help play their game so more cash for your coffers.
