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...
