    So does this mean we don't need to do the paperwork if trade me is insuring everyone asking a question or bidding has a verified licence.... I'm kidding but what's the pointing them doing it if we need the forms filled out and signed by the arms officer anyway

    I'm guessing the point is so trademe can put up their hand and say we tried our best when guns are illegally obtained.
    Wouldn't surprise me if they paid for the programming, buying good PR and ensuring continued sales of firearms and related products for profit by proving they're not facilitating illegal transactions

    I'd say this is absolutely possible. But is that the case?

    @223nut,

    Police forms are not required for a TradeMe purchase when you pick up the item yourself, so the TradeMe system adds a recorded verification step for local deals too.

    I agree re TradeMe staff's poor knowledge. Like traders being forced to sell a standard SMLE mag as "5-round magazine". Unbelievable!
