| 310642 | 2005-01-04 15:44:00 | Trademe has announced that overseas trader cannot list items on trademe for sale.I think that they shouldn't have made this banned.I think that if they made it so that overseas trader must be address verified that would be good. A majority of overseas trader like to use trademe like me and i find ebay alot confusing to use.Trademe says this is to prevent fraud etc but I believe that a majority of overseas trader are genuine. They should ban the countries that are usually causing scam like nigeria example.I see that most of the nigerian scan comes from united states. Why should people who live in Hong Kong or say united kingdom take the ban also when clearly its not our fault? What do you think people?Trademe should find alternative system of helping overseas traders and sellers not ban something just because something comes up |

| 310643 | 2005-01-04 17:02:00 | What do you think people?Trademe should find alternative system of helping overseas traders and sellers not ban something just because something comes up[/QUOTE] This has come about for several reasons, 1 SCAMME do not want to spend the money to identify independently the overseas Sellers. 2 SCAMME do not want to bear the cost of supplying data to Customs and IRD about these Sellers, and their activity's. 3 SCAMME are bowing to pressure from the authorities to do something positive about the epedemic of SCAMS on SCAMME. 4 SCAMME is a very profit driven orginiseation. This was the most expedient metheod of getting the Authorities off their backs, and they can window dress it as a positive security move by them, to protect local buyers. This Stop Gap measure by SCAMME will alliviate the SCAM level on the site for a short time. Nothing really will change untill SCAMME deal with the basic flaws in their security and member enroolment program. Charging $10-00 to as a question and become authenticated is nothing but a SCAM as paying $10-00 does not prove anything about you. SCAMME is the only major local site to charge in this way. As a result of this policy change the number of buyer SCAMS has Skyrocketed. In the Scam Site Rules the goods are supposed to be in "possesion" of the Seller as with many things on SCAMME this did not come out as intended. If this area of the rules is read several times it is clear that the SCAM SITE meant the rules to say "In possesion of the seller IN NEW ZEALAND". As with so many things on SCAMME this is not what it says at all. Which has lead to much confusion. Sadly allthough all forgien sellers apart from Australians have been banned, this unclear area regarding goods not on New Zealand soil remains, another SCAMME dissaster. The reguirement that all Australian sellers have New Zealand bank accounts is also farceicall. The ANZ will have good business with this in their "Tranz Tasman Accounts" Legally locall in both nations at once. D. |

| 310644 | 2005-01-04 20:29:00 | its a new zealand auction site and it should stay ours, its pretty safe actually. and if overseas sellers/buyers want to use it they can use their eBay. | Prescott (11) | ||
| 310645 | 2005-01-05 05:26:00 | Without trying to be critical of a fellow Southlander,auctions need buyers & sellers to make them work!The more the merrier. The "feedback"system on TM soon sorts out the baddies!(whether local or off-shore) There are a lot of traders from all over the world,particularly buyers on TradeMe! Cheers,kiwitas,(-: |

Trademe.co.nz is like a little car boot sale compared to ebay.co.uk or even ebay.com.au all the trading methods and auctioneering is so backward |

| 310648 | 2006-01-15 21:27:00 | I think it is ok for an overseas trader, as long as they make it very clear that they are non NZ so that you know postage times are going to be a bit longer. | mejobloggs (264) | ||

Ebay is horse manure compared to TradeMe. It's too typical of USA excessive commercialism. |

At least someone might care, and we won't have to put up with pointless rants about things you can't don anything about . Let alone having to see how many times "drb1" can fit SCAMME in a post . |
