Double-standards, I say.

And besides, there are plenty of other products regularly sold on TradeMe that have fraud potential.

I’d love to see proof of the community’s support of a ban on iPhone auctions. I couldn’t find any discussion on it in the TradeMe message boards (although there’s no search on the message boards, so it’s hard to find anything in there).

So, they are quite happy to sell scalped Warriors tickets a few weeks ago, but won’t list iphones?? . . . .Where were the tough standards backed up by a community then?

How exactly does trademe and it’s community decide that an iphone seller is a bad seller?

Are there not enough safeguards in place already on trademe (feedback, safe trader, community watch link)

And now that they are not allowing iphones are they banning ALL high end tech goods not available via official retail channels?
