A Pay Now update
We wanted to get in touch with some news about Pay Now, the service that allows sellers to accept credit card payments for sales on Trade Me.
What has changed?
The Pay Now fee discount for Top Sellers has been tweaked today to align with the other discounts that apply to the Top Seller programme. As a result, the fee paid by Top Sellers on payments received via Pay Now has increased to 1.65%. This is a discount of 15% on the standard fee of 1.95% paid by other sellers.
Anything else?
Yes, the Seller terms and conditions for Pay Now have also been updated. You can view these here. More...

Help save the kiwis
We’re happy to announce a new partnership with the Save the Kiwi Trust. From today, sellers can choose to round up their success fee to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to Save the Kiwi. It’s easy to set up and a great way to help contribute to the efforts of saving our native feathery animal friends.
Every cent pledged by sellers via the success fee top-up will go to the Trust. The funds from Trade Me sellers have been earmarked to increase the critically endangered rowi kiwi population on the South Island’s West Coast from 357 kiwi to 600.
If you’re selling an item on Trade Me and want to donate to the Trust, tick the check-box during the sell process. Please check out our help section for more information.

Payment delays - Anzac Day
Anzac Day is coming up on Wednesday, so we wanted to let you know there will be payment delays if you use internet or phone banking to top up your Trade Me account. If your payment is made after 8pm on Tuesday 24 April, it won’t arrive in your Trade Me account until Friday 27 April.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused, but that is how the banks roll. We hope you all have a great Anzac Day.
Payment Delays
Just a quick heads up – ASB are currently carrying out maintenance which means we’re unable to process any payments that our members have made to their accounts.
All payments should be processed between 2-3pm this afternoon. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
