Pickup was chosen so no courier anyway. Payment has come through now.
Buyer (new to Trademe) bought using Buy Now at 8:01 pm and paid instantly by Ping. I can see that the item sold in the Notifications and in my Sold tab. But I didn‘t get an email from TM, and no money arrived in my Ping account. I can potentially understand the Ping situation - TM probably waits until the funds have actually cleared as it is a new member (potentially as TM has accounts with all major banks so money should clear immediately). But no email? Another bug in the ‘new & improved’ system? Listing number is 6161782231
Trademe quotes are an estimate, and the actual price CAN and sometimes DOES vary from the quote. Worst one I experienced was with Aramex where they didn‘t actually deliver to the rural address and passed it on to NZ Post for the last few miles - for which I was charged $10 over the quoted price.
> As Michelle mentions I guess can't be updated easily until everything finally gets moved across. I doubt that. And she said that the changes make it easier to update in the future - she didn’t say it is difficult now.
It’s not just iPhones, eg computer CPUs - they don’t even know Apple’s M processors so haven’t updated them for 5 years. It’s especially embarrassing because it just needs to add the names (eg M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) to the respective list that anyone could do. And don’t get me started on the list for value still topping out at $1,000 - why not have a numerical text field so people can search for any value? But users told Trademe years ago about how to improve the most annoying things and nothing was done about it, so don’t get your hopes up …
Listed a DVD & CD box with the DVD missing under CDs and was surprised that CDs count towards your listing allowance. Guess it doesn't have to make sense …
I‘ve never seen any announcement about any winners …
The problem is that the specified shipping can be very wrong. For one thing shipping can change between when you list an item to when you sell it (and the courier does NOT honour Trademe's 'non-binding it's just an estimate' courier quote, for another courier might be more expensive because they use another courier for the last mile (happens usually with Aramex). Therefore I state that I do not know shipping yet.
Thanks
Tomorrow is the 10th, and the change over to the new system should be done by the 15th. But how can we tell if Success Fees apply to anything listed from tomorrow on?
