Only one refund can take on a particular transaction, so either a full or partial refund.


If a further refund needs to take place on a transaction that has already been partially refunded, the Trade Me account manager will arrange for CS to contact the member and get their bank details.


We then forward those bank details on to our finance team who refunds the buyer out of the sellers 'Pay now/Ping' account.

If the order was placed over 45 days ago, there will be no record of the transaction on their account log in. 

It will however be in the Trade Me system but needs to be refunded by your Trade Me Account Manager or Customer Service.
