Upcoming price change for Trade Me Motors auctions
From 1 November 2017, the price to list a vehicle by auction will increase from $39 to $39.99, and the success fee will increase from 1.95% to 2% of sale price. The maximum success fee and withdrawal fee will remain unchanged.
Over the past year we’ve made a bunch of improvements to Trade Me Motors, like extending our functionality on mobile, releasing an enhanced listing detail page and extending our Reviews & Advice section to include more reviews on a wider range of vehicles.
Keep an eye out for some exciting improvements we have planned for later in the year. If you have any questions about these changes, please let us know. More...

Macrons (and other accents) on your name
This week we added the ability for members to include macrons (and other accents) when entering their first and last names. You can update your name from the contact details section on your My Trade Me page.
While it may seem like a tiny area of the site that we’ve updated, it was a large piece of work with wide-ranging impact to the code base. We wanted to update this and the member profile first, as a person’s name is an important part of their identity and they should be able to write it correctly.
