To block a user on TradeMe, you will need to add them to your personal blacklist within your account settings. This action prevents the blacklisted member from interacting with you on the platform in several ways.
Blacklisting is a straightforward process managed through your 'My Trade Me' account dashboard. It is useful if you've had negative experiences with a specific member or simply wish to avoid future interactions.
Here are the steps to block a user on TradeMe:
Steps to Blacklist a TradeMe Member
Following these simple steps will add the user to your blacklist:
- Access Your Account: Log in to your TradeMe account.
- Navigate to Settings: Select Settings from 'My Trade Me'. This option is typically found in the dropdown menu under your username or in the main account navigation.
- Locate Blacklist: Look for an option related to 'Blacklist' or 'Blocked Members' within the settings menu.
- Add the User: Enter the username of the member you'd like to blacklist. Ensure the username is spelled correctly.
- Confirm Action: select Add to Blacklist.
Once added, the user will be unable to:
- Place bids on your auctions.
- Buy your Buy Now listings.
- Ask you questions about your listings.
- Contact you through the TradeMe messaging system.
This feature is a key tool for managing your trading experience and ensuring you only interact with members you trust.
If you later change your mind, you can typically remove a member from your blacklist by following a similar process within the 'Blacklist' settings, where you'll find an option to remove existing blacklisted users.
