| 625927 | 2007-12-30 13:45:00 | I was just wondering if this system is perfectly legal. 1. List a component on TradeMe. 2. Mr X buys component and deposits money into my bank account. 3. I order the component from an online store, pay for it and have it delivered directly to Mr X. Cheers. |

| 625928 | 2007-12-30 18:06:00 | Could be interesting if the online store runs out of stock. IN that case, Mr X is probably going to slam you in feedback for slow postage; possibly even complain to TradeMe | Myth (110) | ||
| 625929 | 2007-12-30 19:35:00 | I'm fairly sure the Trademe Terms and Conditions says that you must have the goods for sale in your posession before listing them. | somebody (208) | ||
| 625930 | 2007-12-30 19:36:00 | However, this is not to say that this method is NOT used by a number of traders... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 625931 | 2007-12-30 19:40:00 | When YOU get pinged with the warranty, the charm of the scheme may elude you. A little bit of being monstered by an irate giant consumer seriously broadens the education. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 625932 | 2007-12-30 19:56:00 | its trademe....what warranty ?? worse thing is if you get mucked around by the online outfit you will be the loser. also there is a risk people will simply catch on, report it and buy direct from whever your buying from. there is quite a few firms use that approach allready and some have major problems doing it, especially with parts coming from overseas. its a lot easier if the parts are stocked in NZ. mind you if thats the case you will also be trying to sell at NZ retail price + your markup. i don't think you will get many sales. |

| 625933 | 2007-12-30 19:57:00 | And Mr X sees your ad, looks it up on Pricespy and decides you are way over what he could get it for new from the shop direct and you rack up a load of TM listing fees. | pctek (84) | ||
| 625934 | 2007-12-30 20:02:00 | Pay now ship later? That is called drop shipping, and is generally frowned upon |

| 625935 | 2007-12-30 20:22:00 | The other thing is, there are a lot of online retailers selling parts directly on Trademe. If you can somehow compete with them, then I'd be very surprised. | somebody (208) | ||

Advertises computers and when sold gets the parts in to assemble it. He has been caught out a couple of times not suppling what he was advertising |
