@cree5 - I absolutely agree it's just a scam $$. A fee on top of a fee. And I also agree about being unable to disable it as its ticked and greyed out. TradeMe takes a fee then they take another fee. Greed and shame. Ping is totally unnecessary and you 100% have my support if you want to go to toe ComCom about it. Good on you.
I don't want Ping on my account at all. its a rip off. a fee on top of a fee. Please remove it from my account ASAP.
