in all honesty I'm probably not trademe's best customer, so not that important. but literally refused to purchase a fixed price offer this weekend due to the lack of security available (MFA basically). I'm not prepared to take the risk on trademe purchases until there's a patent effort on their part to offer the current basics of security. at this stage, trademe has no better security to offer me as a buyer than facebook marketplace, so why wouldn't I just use the site that doesn't have fees? there's no 'edge' they're offering any longer.
but it's not "everything you can" is it Lucy? MFA would absolutely be something more that you "can" but do not (as yet ) offer.
"Incidentally, there are even more happening on Facebooks Marketplace. " .. at least facebook don't charge for the illusion of safety tho.
@S ...I guess the challenge is that the initial member has a legit NZ account, then once hacked changes it to Aussie (or elsewhere). it doesn't appear (to me) to be specific in there that you can't start out legit, then adjust to an alt. country.
Trademe have indicated that there's no need for better security because :"have a dedicated Trust & Safety team that works hard to prevent fraudulent logins and other transactions on our members’ accounts. For now, we’re confident in the systems we have and the measures we take to protect our members. "as seen here:https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/community/posts/4411734416269-2FA-Anyone-
