It takes so long that you almost automatically miss out on the chance to provide feedback or use the refund service through E-bay . I've tried twice recently to buy a hdd caddy for my laptop, the hong kong supplier was only $12 + free shipping and did make it here just over 3 weeks later . Can't complain about that but unfortunately I ordered the wrong item . 2nd attempt from an american parts supplier was $6 + $24 postage - a lot more but it was tracked all the way through the US and arrived here in under 2 weeks . Incidentally HP NZ wanted approx $125 for the same part . It's always cost what they said it would for me, only thing is do you go for cheap and wait a long time or pay more for faster better tracked service . Similar to what I what I have experienced . A few sellers have actually sent me a free extra item for low cost products . I think to prevent negative or low star/rank feedback . Many sellers seem to to be worried about such feedback . As for costs are not fees charged locally from the bank and Visa for transactions and exchange rated of about 3% total? Been a while since I been on the forum (had a break from forums), but good to come back and see you's contributing to benefit members . . . .	kahawai chaser (3545)

Yeah these forums are fantastic (although I don't much like the website ever since the redesign and the mag stopped...)	Filthygamer (16897)

1375658	2014-06-02 01:09:00	Dont you have to pay to join TM for a start?? Which you dont have to do, if you join Ebay. Thats one reason I didnt join TM. Dont know if it's changed, haven't bothered going back to TM	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1375659	2014-06-02 01:10:00	Why cant you use tm TM being TradeMe?	Filthygamer (16897)
1375660	2014-06-02 01:28:00	Why cant you use tm Few reasons... 1. Many buy from eBay and then sell on Trademe at a significant markup. I have bidded on eBay against NZ TM sellers. Hence far cheaper on eBay. 2. There are a huge range of products on ebay, which are not available on TM or NZ sometimes. Though many products eventually appear on TM and some local Asian stores. Some products I have seen at 2- 5 times the price... 3. There are also a huge range of eBay stores, some which sellers offer discounts on their own affiliated web e-commerce sites and networks. Some sellers sell branded products and reputable aftermarket supplies from The US. For example, I have bought car parts cheaper than ever available here in NZ, of which NZ offers limited brands and parts at common auto stores.	kahawai chaser (3545)
1375661	2014-06-02 01:42:00	Yup thats one of the reasons, why I went to Ebay. NZ didnt have the TPM module I wanted. And the other things (like the HP mini kb and palmrest) are too expensive in NZ. Even with shipping on EBay, things are cheaper than Trademe / NZ.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
