Trade Me Motors auction price change from today
As we let you know two weeks ago, today we made a change to the listing fee and success fee when listing a vehicle by auction.
The price to list an auction has increased from $39 to $39.99, and success fee has increased from 1.95% to 2% of the sale price. The maximum success fee and withdrawal fee will remain unchanged.
Photo and video policy for 'in trade' sellers
As we announced on 14 August, our new marketplace photo and video policy for ‘in trade’ sellers comes into effect today. The new policy aims to help sellers increase buyer engagement, and ultimately sell more.
A good, clear photo or video of a product is important for attracting buyers and increasing sales – it’s what engages your customer and draws them into the listing. We also reckon it’s important for sellers to keep up with industry standards, which means quality images are essential.
The new policy itself can be found on this seller blog post and on the help page.
Some updates to our privacy policy
Earlier this month on 2 October and 13 October we gave you a heads up about a couple of changes to our Privacy policy which come into effect today.

The new Motors price guide
We're making it even easier to buy and sell your vehicle with the new price guide. Enter a few simple details and we'll provide a price estimate for that vehicle.
The tool uses similar vehicle listings that are currently on Trade Me to generate a price range for your vehicle. It's not designed to give a direct recommendation, however it will offer a good idea of the value range available on site for similar cars.
We will be trialing this new tool and asking for feedback to see how useful members find it. If successful, we plan to develop it in due course.
