Trademe users are frequently too stupid to check their ISP mandated spam
filter that isnt accessable in their mail program because they are using
POP3 rather than IMAP.

Anyway, its not worth the problem trying to communicate with them about
things like that. If they did send it and the recipiant didnt respond
there are many other avenues to communicate - sending from another
address, sending a neutral feedback with a please get in touch, etc etc.

Chances are one of them didnt want to do the trade anymore and went into
lets be quiet and hope it all just goes away mode...

Amazingly the trade has now been completed and both have removed their
negative feedbacks. Some people don't understand emails and checking
spam folders etc.
