What's changed on here? Very interested in a particular vehicle but unable to contact vendor to go see prior to bidding. Used to be able to do this but somehow that is not now possible. The net result is that I just won't bid but everyone is loosing out.

Just bid if its no good. walk away. Show him your phone that you has been trying to call.

THAT vendor didn't leave contact details. Ask a question -Some people don't realise they can put phone numbers up

I get people to leave their number as it saves getting a bunch of texts from dreamers and time wasters

But I can't even call the seller as he isn't allowed to provide his number.

Yep but vendors are not allowed to put up their numbers now. Previously, MV's had contact details on the advert.

Phone numbers have and still are allowed in adds for cars on trademe. Just have a look at a few and most will have phone numbers.

that is definitely NOT the case. seller may think that or choose not to but Contact phone numbers are always allowed on vehicle auctions. Ive been known to sell a car or two via this exact media :-)

Theres a VERY simple reason. Either by accident or deliberately the seller has advertised in in car PARTS for sale. Car parts run under the same rules as other products. It is only in the Vehicles for sale section that you can list contact details. ie not car parts section

Ah yes. And I guess that by pay a %, he could well pay heaps more than the fixed-price.

See the last question. He has provided a number.

It might be by accident, Might be deliberate but it is a lot cheaper to advertise a car part.

So, did you phone them?
