859071 2010-02-16 09:31:00 What happens to individuals that don't have a digital camera and who only use film like 2 rolls a year? I had a good couple who don't even know how to use a mobile ph for text messages - that is due to tech illiterate or a language issue ..

Luddites! :D

Their system however isn't full proof, as crooks could use photoshop, or work out another way around it. That should be trademes cost too, if they actively policing it. There are probably better ways to do it, such as trademe sending everyone a special form of ID that they can photograph next to the item.

They buy one?
If they use TM, they have a computer, if they have a computer and use TM, they can buy a cheap camera.

If you don't get a newspaper just use some of the latest junk mail. If you get junk mail, that is.

Yeah. I met a local real estate agent who receives emails about properties he has listed. He told me that if they have a phone number in it, he rings them, if not he just deletes their email cause he had no idea how to click REPLY.

I showed him
Who knows if he's still ignoring potential buyers or not ...........
