Trade Me - waiting for payments?

[HenryDorsetCase]

sorry to be so dim but how does one blacklist someone on tardme?

Correct as stated.

There seems to be a large population of idiots on the trademe

My latest listing as a classified.... not an Auction, thought I could stay clear of the inane questions and swap offers that way.

There might be another way, but if you click on My Trade Me then > View My Trade Me one of the options near the bottom of the page is "My Blacklist".

Not that I sell anything on TM (yet), but that stuff really irks me. It's an auction site, so the point is largely about letting people bid what they think the item is worth - good luck; if it's enough (reserve met) and more than someone else bids, you win.

I'm the opposite. If it is a bigger purchase and I want to fly to the other side of the country to check it out I'd like to know if the guy is dreaming and has an unrealistic price on it/wasting my time, or if it is an acceptable price that I would be happy to pay/negotiate with and drive/ride away. Why fark around.

Because I got a text from a scammer? can't stop that. But dreamers are less likely to make contact via email.

Nah I was talking about the dreamers and swaps. I had the same thought with the last car I sold but I found the classified as bad if not worse.

with you there. One of the bikes I bought in particular looked WAY nicer in the photos than it did in person. WAY nicer.

If you can check it out before purchase, then that'd be one of those sales where the contact details are listed. In that case you can ask (privately) what the likely price is, without necessarily messing with the auction process.
