Joy - mine is back to the old version as well. Relief.
Duplicating is useless. I want to copy and change things - don't use this as it will f**k up all your listings. I hate using trade me now and am sick of writing up bugs since this latest rollout. How do you copy a listing? Do they not have templates in My products or do you have to copy and paste the whole thing again and amend! It was so simple with the sell similar function before. Another cock up Trade Me.
Trying out Products as the desktop version going has made the Sold area cumbersome to manage. I don't get the wording on this fixed price offer section. Why would you do a fixed offer on a sold item and offer it to bidders. Isn't the point of Fixed Price offer that you want to reduce if not sold. If someone has bid on the auction, they win. Why would you do a Fixed Price offer post auction?
Got it from a friend :)
Michelle - all these question re how My Products shows that it is not suitable for most people to use. Please DM the contact details for the CEO as I wish to write a formal complaint.
Having worked in the tech industry for 30 years, I find it difficult to believe that the recent changes at Trade Me are purely due to incompetence. In my experience, no team could implement changes this detrimental without it being intentional. It’s hard to accept that basic features like Search for Sales or filtering out non-paying buyers couldn’t be maintained—unless there was a deliberate reason. The overall direction suggests these changes are designed to make the platform less seller-friendly, possibly to push users toward using Ping for payments, which would benefit Trade Me financial...
I just tested this to double check. There is now no warning to say that you have reached your limit of free listings. It just lists and removes the money from your account. When I had no money in my account, the warning that you owed money was very unclear. I thought it was for Trade Me sales fees so went ahead and listed. I would like a refund of the fees please and for you to go back to what you were doing before and making it very clear what you are paying for!
Are you attempting to kill Trade Me? Changes made to the desktop version today which make it near impossible to manage sales (removal of the search function and filters to check who needs to pay) and now charging a service fee to buyers! Both sellers and buyers are going to walk. You can only push so many buttons before all goodwill is lost.
Me too. 1. No search function 2. No ability to filter who hasn't paid 3. Sold price - includes postage so it should actually say Transaction price because it isn't the sold price! Basically making it very difficult to match up who has paid through your bank account. There is no way Trade Me designers and developers could do such an appalling job at designing a system. This has to be done by design to move us into getting people to turn on Ping. They have just forced Traders to do that.
There is a note on the Trade Me site. This was not notified via our email box and one week to change prices is really unacceptable.
