An email has just landed from Trade Me advising that as of Friday all listings will have to include Ping as a payment option. As a trader who hasn't offered Ping as a payment method and who avoids paying by this method if possible I see this as a heavy handed strategy by Trade Me to force sellers to allow them to clip the ticket on this inhouse payment function.
We will be allowing our existing listings to time out over the next week and beyond that will cease using Trade Me as a selling platform. Not a difficult decision as the percentage of our sales via TM is very small.
