New pricing for vehicle listings

The number of photos available for vehicle listings has increased from three to five.
This is the first price increase since the launch of Trade Me Motors in 2003. Trade Me Motors attracted over 870,000 unique visitors in January and now has more than 33,000 cars listed for sale from car dealers and private sales. More...
Sell process changes
We have made two small changes to the Sell process.
The 'Auto-extend' option is now selected by default. You can turn this option off if you do not wish your listing to extend.
Also, we have removed the 'Allow bids from AV members only' option due to low usage.
Sell similar item improvement
When you use "sell similar item" on an auction you can now change any pricing info and then jump straight to the confirmation page. This new feature is designed to make it faster and easier to sell on Trade Me.
