Upcoming change to the sale of bees
We’re updating our policy on the sale of bees, hives and related equipment on Trade Me. From 12 March 2018, beekeepers must include their registration numbers in the listing description when listing bees or hives for sale on-site.
The sale of diseased bees, hives and equipments is also prohibited, and we are updating our policy to include this in line with the Biosecurity Act.
For more information, take a look at our blog.
Changes for in-trade sellers
Success fee change
From 14 March 2018, we’re changing the way we calculate success fees for in-trade sellers*. They will pay success fees on the final sales value (the price of the item sold + shipping costs).
We’re making this change because we know buyers love free shipping, and our research shows they perceive shipping costs on Trade Me to be expensive. We also see some listings with inflated shipping costs, which results in a poor experience for buyers. Overall, we expect more sellers will offer free or low-cost shipping and increase their sales.
