Afterpay now available in more categories
Afterpay is now available in more Marketplace categories, including in the 'Mobile phones', 'Computers', and 'Gaming' categories.
Certain categories had previously been restricted from offering Afterpay, but due to popular demand we've now opened up eligibility to more categories.
For the list of categories eligible for Afterpay, check out our help page.
Afterpay minimum spend threshold removed
When we launched Afterpay on 6 September, Afterpay was available on items between $20 – $800. We have since removed the minimum spend threshold of $20.
This allows sellers to offer Afterpay on a wider selection of their products, and buyers of lower value items can take advantage of buying now and paying later.
For more information on Afterpay please check out our help pages.
Top Seller programme changes today
As we announced on 13 November, from today only sales made through the general Trade Me Marketplace will contribute to Top Seller qualification. Any sales from Property, Jobs or Motors will not be counted toward the programme eligibility.
If you are currently a Top Seller, the benefits for your non-general item sales will continue until 15 January 2018 or the end of your qualification period, whichever occurs first.
Please check out this handy seller blog post for more information.
