Changes to Background Check

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 3:00pm, Mon 2 Dec 2019

Starting today, we'll be making a change to the way Background Checks appear on car listings.

We reckon it's really important that buyers have peace of mind buying on site, so this change will add a (free) three-point Background Check on Basic car listings, showing if the listed car is:

• stolen,
• a damaged import,
• re-registered.

Standard and Premium listings that have a Background Check hidden will have this information displayed.
