I want to sell a laptop,and where would you go?

779239 2009-06-03 22:34:00 One issue I keep having with trade me is the sellers being crap. I found 3 in the last week of a mystery bidder who was created the same day of the trade, who comes from the same place as the seller, who is not authenticated and somehow disappears after the trade is finished... oh and look! Auto bid!

:lol: scum bags

They need dealing to it seems!

779241 2009-06-03 22:57:00 The other problem is that banning a member only stops that one existing profile... until they simply make a new profile.

Agreed, Trademe seems almost powerless to police things, and we are seeing the beginning of the rot setting in and ruining the site for others.

The answer may indeed be to have users register with photo ID in order to keep the kids and the crooks off the system.

Then you'll have people registering with stolen identities, or fake IDs.

779243 2009-06-03 23:24:00 Well, at least that would limit it to serious criminals with at least a small skill set, unlike some trading now. R2x1 (4628)

So just list it.
If they don't pay, you don't send it.
Or You could always use safe trader.

If this **** had used his own username I wouldn't have gone near him, but of course he used his son's which had good feedback.

However I have never bought anyhting expensive before through the mail, and I shouldn't have this time either.
Pick up is good for checking it out before handing over the money.

After all *******s abound everywhere, even in shops.

It is listed for a $1,so let the devil take the hind most.
