@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.
