Hi! I just posted a camera and lens set for 2500$ for sale and chose the payment option "money transfer to bank account". After that I received this email from Isabella Trust from their Safety department, saying: I'm getting in touch about a change we've made to your listing/s *******888 - Canon EOS 6D (WG) To keep Trade Me a safe place to buy and sell, each day we do hundreds of checks to ensure sellers have the items(s) for sale in their possession. A simple way we can do this is by adjusting your listing so that it is covered by Buyer Protection. To do this we've removed any payment options not covered by Buyer Protection, so buyers will need to pay either via Ping (our instant payment system), or with cash.

I think that this unilateral decision is fraudulent! I disagree about this unauthorized way to create an extra fee for me for using PING. I am perfectly fine using my Bank Account without any "security issues". They just created created a "double dip" for themselves "above the already high listing fee and success fee!" This is totally fraudulent! It seems that they just don't get enough!
