    Too fast for me - I literally checked that 10 mins ago and it wasn’t live!

  • Martz5 on 10/07/2024 - 09:33

    I just listed using 'my products' yesterday for a week….is there an easy way to bulk update everything so they close on Sat/Sun? Or do i need to manually edit each listing?

    • suspense on 10/07/2024 - 09:38

      There's a bulk edit option for listing duration that might be able to do what you're looking for.

      • Martz5 on 10/07/2024 - 09:39

        I tried that but it doesn't appear to affect my live listings? Unless it takes a while for the changes to appear

        • shopaholic on 10/07/2024 - 09:42

          Yeah it can take a few minutes to show as it'll be timed when to pull the data through from my products :)

          • Martz5 on 10/07/2024 - 11:06

            @shopaholic: Still no changes…have i done it wrong or does it not work lol. It's showing 3 days in 'my products' but all my listings still close on Tuesday…

      1) Deactivate the listings in MyProducts
      2) Manually go through each listed and have them close on Friday or Saturday morning.
      3) Saturday afternoon/evening, activate your listings
      4) ?????????
      5) Profit

      • Huntakillaz on 11/07/2024 - 15:06

        *Sunday afternoon/evening

  • shopaholic on 10/07/2024 - 09:57

    What's the go with 100 listings? Anytime I read about it, they mention it's based on your past selling, is that right? Is it worthwhile going over the free 50 listings? Or should I use my partners account too lol

    • Stoic on 10/07/2024 - 10:11

      Probably easier to use your partner's account.

      How it's worked out
      Your minimum allowance is 50 free listings, but this can go up based on your sales.

      To work it out, take your highest number of weekly sales from the past six weeks, then multiply by five.

      https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/articles/360007000752-Li…

      So your listing allowance for free listings will be 50 unless you've sold like 12 things in a week in the last 6 weeks then it'll be 60.

      Check your sales summary for your listing allowance. Its on the desk top version of trademe but not available from the app.

    Hi, I'm new to selling on Trade Me. I just successfully sold something yesterday and charged the regular 7.9% success fee :(

    What's the discounted success fee when there's this free selling promo?

    • suspense on 10/07/2024 - 11:01
      +2

      $0.00 success fee. Promotion fees such as gallery upgrade are not discounted

      • aquafaba on 10/07/2024 - 11:28

        Thanks. Dang, what a waste, I could have saved the 7.9%!

        • manuka on 10/07/2024 - 12:42

          TradeMe is a greedy, dying platform.

          They could easily be more upfront about the extortionate success fee's but they obscure it intentionally.

          • kfr23 on 10/07/2024 - 13:09
            +7

            @manuka: It's not obscured in the slightest? https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/articles/360032347131-Ma…

            If it's dying, where are people going? Facebook Marketplace? lol

            • manuka on 10/07/2024 - 13:14

              @kfr23: I didn't say it was impossible to find. No-one is bothering to read the TradeMe help docs…..

              The could show the fee when creating a listing as part of all of the other add on fee's but choose not too.

              • kfr23 on 10/07/2024 - 13:43

                @manuka: Ok one Google search away then

              • aquafaba on 10/07/2024 - 17:17

                @manuka: Totally agree! I would think that many new users only find out about the success fee after a successful transaction. They could be more explicit about the charges when creating a listing as you said.

                • zbrakk on 10/07/2024 - 19:00

                  @aquafaba: If you create a listing through the website it says 'list for free, pay when it sells*' and there is a link right there to the success fees.

            • cruelsummer2 on 10/07/2024 - 13:58

              @kfr23: Yes, we've had more success selling & buying in Marketplace rather than TradeMe. As a matter of fact, I can't remember the last time that I've completed a TradeMe transaction!

          • inthiseconomy on 14/07/2024 - 03:40

            @manuka: Especially true for the in-trade sellers success fees.

            • kfr23 on 15/07/2024 - 21:21

              @inthiseconomy: It's in the same place, on the same help page along with the normal personal success fees.

  • Sweetfa on 11/07/2024 - 08:54

    It doesn't start till 14 July.

  • nzoutdoors on 11/07/2024 - 10:56

    Could somebody please add the Sunday 14 July in the title/description. A key fact that is not obvious.

    • bigcheese on 11/07/2024 - 11:01

      There's a big blue box at the top that shows 'In 3 Days'

      • nzoutdoors on 12/07/2024 - 09:15

        Sure, but it's sill not clear when that is exactly, and how long for. Just my 2 cents.

    • Wakrak on 11/07/2024 - 11:41

      In addition to bigcheese's comment, the date is also listed between the description and comments sections.

      • nzoutdoors on 12/07/2024 - 09:17

        comments: that's my point. it's in the comments, not clear from the description.
        description: it says "Relists started on Sunday 14 July 2024" not "auctions started on Sunday 14 July 2024"

        I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out that it's open to interpretation, and not very clear. That's all.

  • Bargainstalker on 11/07/2024 - 13:04

    When listing or editing an auction it mentions success fees at the last part of the auction.
    Fair enough it doesn't state how much the fees are, but we are informed of success fees and they are easily found.

  • nzmax on 11/07/2024 - 16:27

    Anyone know if you can use the vehicle listing to move a car from a previous free listing, to another family members account to get another 90 days of free listing? eg cancel the old free listing that only has a few days remaining, and then setup a new listing on another family members account on the 14th. Or do they only allow one free listing per license plate.

    • Bargainstalker on 11/07/2024 - 18:32

      If you cancel the current listing there may be a fee it should inform you of the amount when you try but before you actually commit to canceling it.
      I wouldn't think there's an only one free listing per license plate rule but I would contact trademe and ask them to find out for sure

    Anyone know what the definition of "large machinery" is? Since there isn't a "large machinery" category and they don't specify a size or price limitation, it seems a bit arbitrary. T&C didn't seem to make it clear. Does a kids quad bike count? Farm bike? Rotary hoe? CNC mill?

    For those using Bidbud, it might not be around for much longer.

    https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/community/posts/10184914…

    "Trade Me are making some big changes to their system, that will mean BidBud probably won't be around much longer."

      Thats sad as heck, bid bud made trademe actually usable and a time save
      If i have to go back to regular trademe id probably choose Facebook marketplace at this point
