| 269788 | 2004-09-08 08:09:00 | Hmmm .... TradeMe is largely based on EBay. Yet I don't see you lambasting them. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 269789 | 2004-09-08 09:30:00 | I guess the difference being Ebay is run by professionals, whereas Trademe on the other hand... Lo. |

Ethical up front Proffesionals, Ebay the largest bits'a online Auction in the world . With members shipping all over the world, does not have the scam issues that T/M has on % . Ebay does not use Sleazy drag in tactics . like T/m . Ebay can not use unhderhand tactics because they value their global reputation . T/m is 4 years old, it runs on stolen idea's, with poor Morals and Ethics . Its customer relation are plumeting by the day, Kiwi's love cheepies, ebay was too far away . If T/m dont clean up their act ,will they still be here, and dooing as well in 4 years time . T/m are a straight . com can they hold it toghether against local commpettition offering a better/fairer deal, with other revenue sources |

You can't copy that sort of idea. > If T/m dont clean up their act ,will they still be here, and dooing as well in 4 years time. Yes > can they hold it toghether against local commpettition offering a better/fairer deal, with other revenue sources If I knew of a competitor I liked more, I'd use it. And you would too drb1. But as far as I know, TradeMe is the best place I know of in NZ to buy stuff. As for selling, private sales beat everything but TradeMe's good for if you just want to get rid of something. Cheers George |

It is also a honey trap used by predators, T/m know this and do nothing about it . "BECAUSE THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY" T/m know that the $10-00 up front barrier makes life easier for Scammers and Ambiguous Advertisers . They don’t need buyers to pay up front to use the site . Sellers pay T/m . If the rule is to be all sellers pay up front say so, don’t have this sleazy touting, you can come and sell a maximum of three things at one time with out paying up front, then change the rules with underhanded pressure tactics overnight . Sellers need Good buyers others in this forum have mentioned the lack of good buyers on T/m of late . Maybe the majority of the gullible have been bitten and scared away from all online trading for life . Not good for other fairer operators and genuine mail sellers (Like many smaller comp sales/service outlets) T/m are in the long term doing great damage to net selling in NZ . I did not expect this thread to take this track but, lose or draw, I will not run away from it . |

| 269794 | 2004-09-09 09:54:00 | I'm curious as to what bad experiences you have had as a buyer drb1 - if you could elaborate then we may understand your position a little better. Regarding your comments about the lack of buyers, with time you will find a lot of the sellers are also regular buyers on TradeMe. If items don't sell it is usually because the price is too high or the seller has a bad rep. If you think of TradeMe as being similar to an online garage sale then you won't be disillusioned or disappointed. | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 269795 | 2004-09-09 10:15:00 | Andrew, Do I have to pay $10-00 to ask a question at your garage sale? If you ran a garage sale and said come in her look at this, then said $10-00 first. As soon as I asked you a question. How much would you sell? What would people say to you? T/m has been built on robbing, and allowing others to rob, gullible kiwis. They have made their millions (and they have) its time to give a fair deal. |

| 269796 | 2004-09-10 03:26:00 | Here's a novel idea: Why don't we all just forget about "Scamme"! There are enough threads now with the word "Scamme" in them for me to get really annoyed. If you hate "Scamme" so much drb1, why don't you just leave them and find another place to buy and sell online? Rather than annoying the people that haven't had such negative experiences, or opinions of the morale behind TradeMe. Nobody is forcing you to sell on TradeMe, so why not just exercise your freedoms and take your business elsewhere? That's what I would do if I had major problems with a company. Cheers George |

That's what I would do if I had major > problems with a company. While I think drb1 has gone slightly overboard, I do think he has some very valid points. The people behind Trademe are young, and I think it shows through in their customer service. They are by no means, an ebay, or an Amazon. The reason they are able to act in the manner they do is because there is simply no other alternative. They have had the benefit of being the first to set up an auction website in NZ and will always have the jump on everyone else simply because there will be no real point of difference between Trademe and any other clone which comes into the market. I am getting a little tired of reading drb1's posts regarding Trademe, but that in itself is no reason for him to stop. I think Trademe would do well to tidy its customer service up. Lo. |
