Thanks got it. I did get confirmation email from TM, just nothing from seller.

Okay I can select the categories if I browse through desktop. Looks like this is no yet available on the mobile app.

Not sure what you mean by "meaningless". To me a rating is all I need to decide if I can trust a trader. I only ever read the feedbacks if the rating is poor. Maybe feedback should be mandatory for negative and neutral ratings, but optional for positive rating.

Okay thanks for the explanations. That brings up another question - why is my account is considered "In Trade"? 99 percent of my listings are for used items I not longer need. I'm not "in trade" at all. I should be considered a casual seller.

Okay that makes sense.

Okay I know why I "missed" it. I actually wasn't even looking for it, because in the past I've always simply click reply to the confirmation email and I'll get the seller's email in the recipient field because the "reply to" email is set to the seller's email. However, for shopping cart purchase, it's set to "do-not-reply@trademe.co.nz", and when I see that, I simply thought there was no seller's email given at all for some reason.

OMG, can't believe I missed that! Sorry for this pointless thread lol.

Yes most likely. But TM really should include seller's contact details in the confirmation email, like they do for normal auctions. It also doesn't help that in the confirmation email you have instruction like this "If you haven't been contacted within seven days, please let us know". That implies for whatever reason I have to passively wait for the seller to contact me, because even if I wait for seven days and got nothing from the seller, the suggestion is not for me to contact the seller directly, but to contact TM. Makes zero sense.

Seems like it's including properties with any parking space, so that's good.

Yes, as I mentioned in my last comment, make it mandatory for negative or neutral feedbacks only. 99.9% of positive feedbacks are meaningless.
