PING

[harm_less]

Whats everyones opinion on PING, as a seller mainly but also buyers

Listed a hard drive for sale and someone asked for PIng payment "for buyer/seller protections"

But reading up on the Ping Ts & Cs, i'm not seeing a lot of Seller protections in there.  What it does suggest is trademe can reverse the sale in favour of the buyer and take the payment back off me as the seller.  Not real keen on that for second hand goods... 

Don't think i'll be doing that again...  probably no surprise with trademe, now it is there I can't remove it as an option... Fingers crossed I guess

To me it seems like a half arsed attempt at how PayPal works on Ebay. Apart from the extra commission cost giving Trade Me that level of access to credit card details doesn't appeal to me having suffered a substantial CC fraud in the past with TM being one of very few websites I'd trusted with my CC's CCV number around that time (which was back when TM stored CC details by default).

The competence of TM's customer service reps doesn't inspire confidence in their being able to reverse payments in any case.
