Sending a private message to a seller on Trade Me after you've won their auction or Buy Now listing is a straightforward process using the Trade Me app. This communication often happens through the built-in Trade Me Messages feature, allowing you to discuss payment, delivery, or other aspects related to the completed trade.
Sending a Message After Winning
If you need to contact a seller about an item you've successfully purchased, the quickest way within the app is directly from the listing itself, accessed via your list of won items.
Steps to Message a Seller via the App (After Winning)
Here are the steps to message a seller after winning their listing through the Trade Me mobile app, according to the Trade Me Messages reference:
- Open the listing from your Won items in the app.
- Select 'Message the seller' (if available).
Following these steps will open a private message thread specifically for that trade, allowing you to communicate directly with the seller.
What are Trade Me Messages?
Trade Me Messages facilitate private communication between buyers and sellers within the platform, particularly in the context of a specific listing or trade. When you use the 'Message the seller' option after winning an item, you are utilising this system to discuss the transaction details privately. It's designed to keep communication about trades organised and accessible within your Trade Me account.
