Where are the Trade Me buyers?
#20
Yet another seller has copied and pasted my description and tweaked it to fit (sort of) his listing. What goes through the mind of someone who thinks this is a good and ethical idea? Reported it to Trade Me but they are taking their own sweet time sorting it out. As soon as the garage is cleared, I'm bowing out of selling on Trade Me. It's not worth my while anymore and it's more often #!!! irritating than it is fun: too many cheapskates, long term watchers (it's a $10 item, buy it or move along), lazy questions that are already answered in the listing, bidders who don't pay and rude comments.

I think what's really killed selling has been the rise in courier costs. Buyers factor in the delivery cost, think the total cost is more than the item is worth and sit and watch it for #!* months, hoping the price will fall through the floor, rather than thinking about how hard the item is to find, the time the buyer spends packing and how it is being delivered to their front door with minimal effort on their part.
