Our Top Seller Programme

Top Sellers save 15% on success fees as well as on some listing and promotional extras fees. Ping is only charged 1.65% (as opposed to 1.95%) of the total purchase price. 

If you qualify as a Top Seller, you are automatically enrolled into the programme and your savings are paid into your Trade Me account at the end of each day.

To qualify as a Top Seller you must:

• be in trade
• have had at least 60 sold items, or have made at least $10,000 in sales over the past six weeks
• have a 98% or higher positive feedback rating
• have a sell-through rate of at least 10% over the past six weeks. The sell-through rate is calculated by total purchases / (total purchases + total unsold listings).

Please note: each individual purchase that has its own reference number counts as a purchase. Only Marketplace listings count towards your Top Seller qualification criteria. 'Car parts & accessories' and 'Business, Farming & industry' are considered Marketplace categories.

Top Sellers save 15% on success fees, high volume listing fees, Gallery, Feature, Feature Combo and Super Feature promotional extras and are only charged 1.65% (as opposed to 1.95%) of the total purchase price when receiving Ping payments.

Your savings are automatically paid into your Trade Me account as rebates at the end of each day. We’ll email you a weekly summary of your savings.

As well as the fee discounts above, Top Seller success fees are capped at $424.15 ($499 with a 15% rebate).

Plus you get a Top Seller label showing on your membership details page, Stores page and on all of your marketplace listings.

You'll remain a Top Seller so long as you continue to meet the requirements.

We check your qualification every Monday, based on your last six calendar weeks of sales. You can view your Top Seller status from your My Trade Me page.
