I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them. They do seem to be rather
naïve when it comes to dealing with people outside NZ/Aust. I wonder if they
have fears about or are trying to discourage people from using eBay.
I have no fears about Trademe; this week I have bought 5 very nice books
about roses through them, each virtually for a song and much cheaper than
I could have got them through www.bookfinder.com which I also use. I have
done about 140 deals one way or another there. I have also used ebay in
the past, but probably not much again as (believe it or not) I don't want much
of what they offer.
