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.

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 …

And why is this marked "answered"??? I really hate what TM is turning into.

Thanks for the feedback - now others know what to look out for … 😉

I had that too. It might show you as logged in, but logging out and back in might fix that.

Yes, I had quite a few listings disappear. Their photos are still in the photo browser (if you go to ‘select existing photos‘) but the listings themselves are gone (and no, I didn’t delete them). I have also experienced wrong photos appearing in auction, but not as often. And no, Callum, the photo issue is NOT ‘quite likely’ due to user error. From what I’ve seen on Trademe they took the cheapest offer for their redesign, and it shows (and for the record, I’m a Molecular Biologist but I taught myself programming to write a few scientific apps for lab use, have done the computer support at e...

@marmis: nice comment. Making it easier and more successful for casual sellers would help stemming the flow of users to other platforms, and THAT should be the overriding priority for professional sellers too. Not if they get annoyed by someone. If they think THAT is bad then you wonder what they do when Trademe shuts and they have to use a platform where 8 of 10 are timewasters at best (some stop contact as soon as they have my address, and 2 or 3 days later someone comes down our long driveway until they see me watching them - then they abruptly turn around), one more is a scam attempt ("...

I write my listing in Apple's notes app (which is quite brilliant) including reference number, an image for quick identification, title, listing description, additional notes. Listing number is pointless as it changes with every relist. I then copy it across. If I don't find something that must be there then checking what I typed is the first thing I do. Next thing is to use different search terms (eg copy the reference from Notes into the search field, or use another term from the title). I don't delete anything - sold listings go into a SOLD folder. Listings that need more editing go into...

Seems pretty clear to me:
