Use MyListings and the Listing Performance Rating

Use MyListings to make more informed decisions faster.

MyListings gives you access to real-time key metrics across all of your listings. Use these insights to make informed decisions on stock price, age, health, supply and more.

Get more interest in your listings and sell cars faster. Our new Listing Performance Rating compares your listings against how we'd expect them to perform vs similar listings on site. Use these insights to improve your listing quality to drive leads.

This lets you know which listings are doing well and which need your help, all in one place.

We visualise your Listing Performance Rating on the following scale:

When you load a car onto Trade Me, we’ll compare the current and predicted performance of your listing to similar cars based on make, model, age, mileage, body type, fuel type and price.

We consider the advertising potential of each individual vehicle when calculating the rating, not just comparing listing performance across vehicle types. For example, a Toyota Hilux will almost always get more interest than a LDV T60 due to supply and demand.

This means you could have a worse listing quality for the Toyota Hilux, price it higher and still probably get more attention than the LDV T60. However, the Toyota Hilux would have a worse Listing Performance Rating because we adjust the rating compared to what is expected of other similar Toyota Hilux’s.

The low Listing Performance Rating simply means your listing is generating much less interest from buyers than other similar listings on Trade Me which means you may have lost the opportunity to sell it quickly with the best margin.

We know what an excellent listing looks like and how it should perform. The following variables are what Kiwi buyers are looking for, and what you need to nail every time to ensure that you get enquiries from active buyers.
