Can't get Trademe to accept my firearms licence number, so can't bid.
Anyone know the secret?

Pretty sure i had an issue with that and was because i was trying to do it on the app? Or perhaps it was due to the way i was enetering the credentials.

In the past people have had trouble because the name on the license has to match the name on the TradeMe account

I have a question ,
Once you enter your fire arms licence on trade me does it save it and now trade me has your number.

Probably but dont worry they cant be hacked or anything

I guess so, a mate wanted to ask a question about a gun on TM using my log on at my place.
He put his licence number in but TM refused to accept it, my guess is it was because they already had my number in their system from an enquiry I’d made in the past.

More likely because the name on his license didn’t match the name on your tm account

Its the name write it exactly as on your license its the order of the name i think doesn't match surname, first then middle

Its not the name on the license - all that matters is that the name entered when asking a question, matches that of the trademe account.
You can even put a bogus FA number. It just needs to be the right length, and the name entered when asking the question needs to match the trademe account.
They don't have a database of FA names and numbers.
