@S I will check. But thats beside the point... Even if I did people would still try and message me through the app then proceed to complain via text that I didn't reply to their messages. Why are community supervisors and staff defending this broken messaging system? Anyone with half a brain can tell you that it doesn't make sense. Read all the replies to the "messaging" related threads. If you're trying to imply that communicating via phone (text or calls) is no different to using the messaging app you would be wrong because the app doesn't always send notifications and sometimes takes age...

Yeah the 'official comment' (does that mean accepted answer?) in this thread is wrong. If you uninstall the app then buyers can still message you through the app and you have no way of knowing about it.

@Lucy Uninstalling the app doesn't work. Buyers can still message you.    

So you can't opt out.. fine.. why can't we access messages through the website? on laptop? I dont even use trademe that much and its frustrating even for me. God help your high volume sellers that unfortunately opted into messaging huh? switching back and forth between phone and PC just to complete one trade... what a joke.
