Cheers :)

419789 2006-01-11 08:52:00 I manage to fix the problem

Their technical emailed back to me saying that their site doesnt support other format either than jpeg but even with jpeg it comes up an error message saying something cant be converted to the number.


The technician told me to use microsoft paint to open the picture and then re save the file and this fixed the problem.

I Hope ezytrade website will grow. :dogeye:

Trademe was sold to Fairfax.

419797 2006-07-16 13:46:00 I started using Zillion only 2 weeks ago to buy second-hand books. And now I'm a convert.

I found it very good indeed - and that's from someone who's never used TradeMe, though I've glanced at it occasionally.
So I can't compare ease of use, but can say it was simple & straightforward.
They do ask for a $10 deposit, but I gather that stays there like a bond.
The atmosphere was ultra-friendly (nobody posted any bad feedback that I saw) & book prices are pretty cheap. The email notifications at various stages were impressive.

The downside is that that Zillion has far less stuff for sale than TradeMe, of course.
I've checked out only the second-hand book section so far, but recommend you have a look anyway. I think the site is growing fast.

Edit: Forgot to say there is also a Wanted To Buy section.
