New photo and video policy for 'in trade' sellers

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 3:30pm, Mon 14 Aug 2017

We wanted to let you know about our new marketplace photo and video policy for ‘in trade’ sellers, which comes into effect on 30 October. The new policy aims to help sellers increase buyer engagement, and ultimately sell more.

A good, clear photo or video of a product is important for attracting buyers and increasing sales – it’s what engages your customer and draws them into the listing. We also reckon it’s important for sellers to keep up with industry standards, which means quality images are essential. This is why we’re introducing a new policy for in trade sellers, to help maximise their sales on our general marketplace.

We’re giving our sellers plenty of notice so they have time to start phasing out any non-compliant photos over the next three months. The new policy itself can be found on this seller blog post.
