Ahhh, see? Trademe life has become so complicated, even magic wands are too hard to wave, lol. But thank you nevertheless. I shall suggest to my seller she disputes the feedback, she may have better skills at negotiating the maze... 😁

Community Supervisor Angel, please forgive this ancient human being, the system is just too hard. Dispute report #389837 refers to the trade. Please wave your magic wand and alter the feedback to read positive - delivery mishap rectified, thank you for the trade. I have tried, but I'm now putting this in the too hard basket and pouring myself a wine. My brain cells are now too few to risk any more by wading through any further incomprehensible helpful how tos. Sad really, as I said earlier, it used to be so easy...😥

Ahhh, so unless its a relist I still need to be wary. Good to know, thanks Callum. And Michelle... And I still think auto default is sneaky. But hey, if listing numbers continue to fall I guess every dollar earned is a good one for the money men... 😉

I rarely list these days, you are quite right. And I may well have been operating on automatic with this last one... I have never had buyers ask for Ping, I like to think that's because mine don't need buyer protection, I hope my feedback gives them confidence. And while Ping does make paying quick and easy, with the banks putting in the account name thing there should be fewer issues with going direct bank to bank. And that is faster than my one and only Ping transaction. But I do see its effectiveness with the big listers like yourself - but then that is where the focus is these days. I w...

One of my favourite soap box topics from way back when... I do miss those days. But change is inevitable, not always for the better! 😉

Yup, I'm sure it was there Callim, but because I didn't expect to see it I probably missed it. As have quite a few of my lot out here in real life, lol. I still think it should not be a defaulted option. If TM is collecting a commission it should be a consented option. An opt in, not opt out. Like being an organ donor! But hey, I know now, I'll be opting out if I make any more listings.

Except adding it quietly as a default option is just plain sneaky. Why not make it opt in, instead? Because a lot more people wouldn't? Can't help wondering what the commerce commission would think...

As a matter of interest I checked with a few of my friends who are regular TM users, and they too were unaware of this default Ping thing... And also not interested in using it as sellers.

It should though be by informed consent, not default.

This' bids after close' thing has just happened to me, several times, on the same auction. First time in all my TM auctions that it has happened. I assumed it was a glitch, but it seems not. But at least I'm not the only one...
