A ‘thank you’ from our charitable partners
When placing a listing, you have the option to choose to round your success fee to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to Plunket or Kiwis for kiwi, our two success fee partners. We have special relationships with each of these organisations, and fully support and acknowledge their work out in the community.
To say thanks, both Plunket and Kiwis for kiwi have recorded a short video message for you, our members.

New feature: Motorweb Basic Report
We’re excited today to share a brand new feature for car sellers called a MotorWeb Basic Report.
A MotorWeb Basic Report displays key information about the vehicle you’re selling, including showing that the vehicle isn't stolen, doesn't have money owing, and isn't a damaged import.
Having a safe and trusted marketplace for buying and selling vehicles is hugely important to us, and we reckon this report will help to increase trust between buyers and sellers. Sellers can add a MotorWeb Basic Report for $9 and it will display at the top of their car listing until the vehicle is sold. It can also be added to an existing listing for $9 at any time. More...
A new way to browse: Art, Baby Gear, Crafts & more
We’ve just made a change to the way search results are displayed in the Antiques and Collectables, Art, Baby Gear, Crafts, Health & Beauty, Jewellery & Watches, and Pottery & Glass categories.
Starting today, when you’re in these categories you’ll see a new visual page layout when searching and browsing. The appearance of each listing depends on an improved range of promotional products available in the category:
• Basic: Small image in search results.
• Gallery: Medium image in search results (2x larger than Basic) and higher position in the category.
• Feature: Large image in search results (4x larger than Basic) and best position in the category.
• Feature Combo: Highlights listing and includes all benefits of Feature. More...

A tweak to our Privacy Policy
We wanted to let you know that we've made two tweaks to our Privacy Policy. These changes will come into effect on 25 February.
First, we've updated our policy at 15.g in relation to ‘Other information we collect’ to keep pace with current practices in the advertising industry. When third parties supply us with information in line with their terms and conditions, we may use this information to serve you with more relevant advertising content. We may also collect publicly available information about you, such as for fraud prevention purposes.
We've also updated our policy at 17.d in relation to the information around internet statistics and analytics, to enable us to use a Google Analytics Display Advertiser feature called 'Demographics and Interest' reporting. This gives us more insight into users’ behaviour across the site, and allows us to serve you with more relevant content by collecting anonymous information from Google in aggregate form. You can opt out of the Google Analytics Display Advertiser feature here. More...
