| 269748 | 2004-09-06 09:22:00 | To be perfectly honest, I think drb1 has a fair point. I have had a bit of a run in with Trademe staff, and I have found their responses to me to be on a level of someone younger as opposed to someone slightly more mature and more aware of sound business ethics and practices. Maybe it's just me, but changing rules ad hoc simply because it can make them more money can be handled a bit better. Lo. |

| 269750 | 2004-09-06 10:09:00 | Not sure if you read the previous post properly. Good business does not arbitrarily change trading conditions, other entities may do so but you would not necessarily call them businesses even though they make a living for someone at someone else's expense. I'm not saying that this is how trademe operates just what I interpreted the previous poster to be alluding to. If your interested have a look at Scambusters (www.scambusters.co.nz) Cheers Murray P |

Simple really, The rules say "you may advertise three items at one time without being authenticated" when some does this and resists you insesent nagging to pay to be authenticated. You then change his nationality to stop him playing within the rules? Do you work for microsoft? are you an underarm bowler? As long as they are payed any Sucess fees they may be owed (none currently) why the need to change the rules, Other than to line your pocket. |

Bingo... Lo. |

| 269753 | 2004-09-06 11:09:00 | Sorry guys but I'm with drb1 on this one. Let's see - what exactly has changed? Could it be that you are unhappy about selling pirated software (www.trademe.co.nz) perhaps? Or is it body parts or excrement? (www.trademe.co.nz) Take your pick. Pirated software was the latest change from TradeMe just a few days ago so that must be the beef. If that's not the case then PF1'ers whinging about suppliers should back up their statements with some facts (other than the fact it is not free - if you want a charity then go visit your local Sallies). IMHO "Customers" wanting freebies can take their business elsewhere ...... |

| 269755 | 2004-09-06 12:20:00 | Hey Andrew93 - I don't think you fully appreciate the situation. While I agree that Trademe does a lot of good things, the way in which they run their business and change the rules to turn a profit could be handled better. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired and appears to reflect the age running the show. Lo. |
