    Must have turned up this morning, I had just checked late last night if they had a promo yet.

    • bigcheese on 13/02/2025 - 10:45

      I did the same and was surprised when I saw it there this morning.

  • mrhale on 13/02/2025 - 07:39

    Was thinking it felt like it had been a while since one of these.

    TradeMe is a dying platform. Can't sell anything for love or money. I think the fees are too high.

    • cdgnz on 13/02/2025 - 09:15

      Buyers don't generally care that fees are high when buying, it means that sellers are expecting too much probably

        I think expectations are that brand new goods need to be cheaper like Marketplace where you can make low ball offers. I used to sell heaps now I have reduced it significantly like a car worth 28K listed for 25999 , got offers like "would you accept 20K , …. Tyre kickers

      Yeah extortionate fee's yet the platform feels more and more like a Temu flooded with crappy Chinese goods.

      They do little to improve it, infact I think they continually are making it worse.

        If you could filter out the drop shippers and foreign sellers then you could navigate through the bad implementation of the site.

          I filter by used and New Zealand (or Auckland depending on size of item), and also Most Bids too to see popular stuff.

    Note: the standard success fee on general items is 7.9% of the sale price; this special reduces it to 3.95%.
    The vehicle listing prices vary hugely so you'll need to look in the TM help section.

    Sounds like a fees increase is incoming

      They increased the Ping fees recently.

      • chiwilad on 14/02/2025 - 07:56

        Thanks. I didn’t know that. Did you get an email, or did they sneakily update it?

        • inthiseconomy on 14/02/2025 - 17:09

          Yeah, it was emailed out. I've got a business tm acc though.

    The 0% success fee promo they did prior to Xmas I nabbed a Gigabyte 4070 Super with 2 and a half years still left on the warranty for $850 buy now and immediately listed my 3070ti the same day so I could take advantage of the zero fees and ended up getting $750 for it, which is just $250 less than what it cost me new from PB Tech back in 2021. I don't care what people say, I love Trade Me.

    • samamatara on 13/02/2025 - 13:31

      don't ever let anyone shame you for loving trade me.

      I got made redundant from my job(company liquidation), and selling used IT kit on Trademe has provided me with a bit of income while I'm in between jobs. I get much better sales, and much less time wasters than FB marketplace. Trademe has been very good to me at a difficult time in my life.

    • Liger Zero on 13/02/2025 - 21:52

      After selling on eBay US & AU recently, dealing with returns and holds on payments, fees ranging from 9-15% - I'm starting to appreciate trademe a lot more lol…

      Plus TM has actually decent CS now, at least in my experience

      • RealityCheckMate on 15/02/2025 - 14:01

        I have some Cisco networking gears but cant even get rid of them at $45 these were a few grand to start with!. Would I be better off listing elsewhere? Same result at Market place

        • Liger Zero on 15/02/2025 - 14:56

          Depends, what's the model & what gear?

  • Coolbro on 16/02/2025 - 10:50

    Anyone else getting frustrated with the new experience?

    Some categories will default to the “old” (good) experience, and some the “new” one.
    The new one has limitations like: certain changes aren’t permitted once the auction staters (eg, ‘you can’t add a buy now in app’, or can’t add a buy now at all) images get distorted.

    The only workaround ive found is to create a listing in one category, set it live, then edit the category afterwards
