May be have a requirement of $2 in the account before one can buy stuff on TradeMe. 

 

 

They already do. It's called Authenticated Member, but as the seller you need to enable it for your auction when starting the listing. Tick the only enable bids from Authenticated Members checkbox.

 

To be Authenticated you either need to top up the account $1 or use buy now on an auction and pay with Ping. Either way they get a credit card number to track.

Never ever sell anything on Trademe without selecting this option.
