Heads up: Success fee increase
We wanted to give you a heads up that from 1 October, our success fees for general items will be increasing. The average sale price for an item on Trade Me is around $50. This change will see the success fee on an item that sells for $50 increase by 20 cents.
We believe we still provide sellers with excellent value, and over the past year the number of visits to the site has grown by 18%. We’ve also invested in ensuring a strong presence across a growing range of platforms, and we now have five mobile sites and applications for interacting with Trade Me.
Here’s a chart with the success fee changes in bold:
And here’s a chart that sets out the “current” and “new” fees for several sale prices:
Remember, you only pay a success fee if your item sells, and note that there are no fee changes for listings in Motors, Property and Jobs.
Sellers who list an item up until 11:59pm on 30 September will be charged the current success fees, even if the item sells on or after 1 October.
