Dunno how I missed that!
The fixed price offer function seems to have been 'improved' lately. Watchers names no longer appear, although I see bidders names do. I went to do a fixed price offer a few days ago and it said there were six watchers, but only one name showed and that was of someone that had just bought another of my auctions. Very frustrating, as sometimes I like to target watchers in particular areas, if I am traveling that way. The fixed price offer function is pretty much useless now.
If you use 'My Products' you can add a 'footer', which places that block of text into every one of your listings. You can then edit that footer in any of the my products items and it will update all the current listings. I'll often use it if I have to go out of town and I update all my listings to offer a cheap delivery to that area.
Interesting. So they will be refunding the fee that the buyer will have already paid at point of sale, like a cashback type thing.
Skylark are also favoured with the option of accepting bank deposits, even though they are, apparently, an unsafe form of money transfer for the rest of us.....
S "I've come across In-Trade Sellers stating in their Listings they are paying the Buyers Service fee in their descriptions." Just to clarify this, are you saying that In Trade sellers are offering to pay the fee's for the buyer or are the In Trade sellers mistakenly believing that they are will be the ones paying the fee's? It has certainly turned into a cluster....
I see Turners are still able to offer Cash and Bank Deposit payment options and are not being forced to use Ping.
For my safety....
1613hrs the following day and still no payment in my bank account. Buyers bank deposit for additional postage came through within the hour, but TradeMe's ping transfer still hasn't arrived.
Sold an item yesterday, buyer paid with ping, I transferred the money out of ping manually to my bank account five minutes later. The Ping statement says it has transferred out, but still no funds in my bank account the next day. If the buyer had used a bank deposit, I would have had the funds within the hour yesterday. "Funds will remain in your Ping balance until you make a purchase or transfer out manually." is a misleading statement, because my money is neither in my ping account, nor has it been transferred out into my bank account.
