Thread: Trademe taking inch by inch

Just found this email keen for thoughts on this.


"Trade Me Support (Trade Me)

Aug 6, 15:59 NZST

Hi _____

Google have recently updated the policy in their Play Store around firearms, and will no longer allow apps that facilitate the purchase or sale of firearms and related accessories. To make sure we meet these new rules, we've updated the Trade Me for Android app.

From today, members will be able to see and add firearms listings to their Watchlist, but won’t be able to list, edit existing listings, bid or buy firearms on the Android app. Not to worry though, if you’re a keen buyer or seller you’ll still be able to pop over to our desktop site.

To get there from your phone or tablet, just open up 'www.trademe.co.nz' in the web browser on your device. You'll be brought to our mobile site and from there, you'll just need to scroll to the very bottom of the page to select the 'Desktop site' option.

If you have any questions you can reply to this email or you're welcome to give us a call on 0900 87233 (calls cost $1.99 + GST per minute).

Cheers,

Customer Support

The app is shit anyway I always browse on the desktop site on my tablet or phone

And its not TradeMe "taking inch by inch"
It's Google's Play store rules and TradeMe have updated their app to comply with Google.

Same here.
Desktop site is far better than the app.

Google is owned by Democratic lefty’s, as is Facebook and most of Silicon Valley. This is how they have influence - the government doesn’t impose gun control inline with their leftist ideals so they find means to impose it themselves.

F#@k you google.

youtube is owned by google, they removed advertising from any videos with firearms (even airguns)

Not entirely true, they made it way easier to demonitize, and not just for firearms. They also straight up banned any videos to do with the construction of firearms. Which has lead to a whole bunch of servicing and useful modification info being taken down
