    Missed the last two, gonna make sure I list my stuff this time around. Thanks for posting!

    I've found very few buyers last few times around. Seems like a dying platform now that Facebook Marketplace has taken off.

      Buyers on Trade Me actually get back to you though, unlike Marketplace. "is this still available"?
      It depends on what you are selling, even if the item is free they still waste your time.

        @kfr23 totally get what you mean. Had so many no shows. Its made me stop advertising things for free. And so many Facebook marketplace users dont even read descriptions at all. Trademe despite fees have a far higher completion rate

    • ABCDEFG on 21/03/2024 - 15:58

      On the other end of the spectrum, pretty much everything I've listed on TM over the last year or so has sold first time.

    • P0KEMON on 21/03/2024 - 17:50

      if you have the skill to vet buyers before selling (check FB account creation date, posts etc) i've found facebook way more successful/cheaper than trademe. Pretty easy to weed out the tyre kickers

      • kfr23 on 21/03/2024 - 19:04

        Doesn't mean anything when a lot seem to use stolen accounts

    • Gotham35 on 23/03/2024 - 09:52

      Yeah I get single figures these days for views at auction close and keep relisting until I forget.
      I have never bothered with the upsell gallery methods etc.

    • Plug on 23/03/2024 - 19:40

      Depends what you have and what you're asking, buyers can sniff out crap like low start/high reserve quickly and will steer clear. I've never had an issue selling through the platform - a few times it took me longer to make a listing than it did for its item to sell.

      • Jaxson on 23/03/2024 - 21:09

        Agree. Just find it very drop shipping and commercial heavy now and with a lower buyer base than I’ve experienced in years gone by.

        • Plug on 23/03/2024 - 21:28

          These free days are quite regular now, so they must be feeling it. I still rather sell there due to the structures in place like Ping.

    Just have a new idea. Wonder if we can get BidBud automatic relist to pause and resume when promotions like this come along. Since BidBud is able to automatic relist 999 times, I'm sure the backend can add a check for this and optimize the relist on days that would give you 100% off.

    • MrSomeone on 21/03/2024 - 19:45

      Ohhh now we're talking!

  • justaddwater on 21/03/2024 - 18:34

    Limited of 100 listings applies

    Anyone find their limit of listing is 50??

    • EthanY on 21/03/2024 - 19:28

      For address verified members, the first 50 listings are free; and a 10c fee applies to each additional listing. Not sure about the upper limit as I have never listed more than 80 items.

  • subculturenz on 21/03/2024 - 19:55

    So probably should unlist all my stuff a repost on Sunday…. Right ?

  • Nonarina on 21/03/2024 - 21:16

    Here's my hack if you don't have time on Sunday to list everything.
    Make the listing anyway with no photos and very few details (just name and price). Next day when you have time, come back and edit auction and add the rest of details. Did this a few times recently and managed to sell items no problem.

      If you've got time tomorrow or Saturday you could create the listings in myproducts but not activate them until Sunday.

      This is what I do and then I never get around to finishing the listing… my old Dyson remains unsold

    • Senior Mouse on 22/03/2024 - 02:15

      Just make and schedule a listing with Bidbud?

  • mycomputer on 23/03/2024 - 12:38

    Damn I listed my car a few days ago, paid $100 or so and now it's free! Anyone know if I can withdraw the listing and get a refund on the listing fee? Lol

    • Huntakillaz on 23/03/2024 - 16:47

      Can always ask thier chat

    • Fragluton on 23/03/2024 - 19:59

      Doubt it. On the plus side it's $100 well spent as the eyes on trademe are huge. I've never had to relist a car on there, always sold first try.

  • zeesubi on 24/03/2024 - 13:08

    Hi, I'm trying to list my car but it comes up as listing fee will be 189.00

    I have tried multiple times, is this expected?

    With the terms above, that is not mentioned under motors, does it mean that listing fee does apply, only success fee is free?

    • zbrakk on 24/03/2024 - 13:13

      "Applies to used car and motorbike listings on a basic listing type only."

      Are you trying to list it standard or premium maybe?

      • zeesubi on 24/03/2024 - 15:53

        No I chose basic

      • zeesubi on 24/03/2024 - 15:58

        This is what is written on the final page

        Duration: Closes 4:00 PM, Sun 7 Apr 2024. Free to relist until 12:00 AM, Sun 23 Jun 2024
        Summary
        Listing fee
        $189.00
        Total fees to pay
        $189.00
        Your Trade Me balance before fees are deducted
        $4.26

        And then there is a button to start my listing

      • zeesubi on 24/03/2024 - 16:03

        Just tried same thing on friends phone and on theirs it shows zero fees… 🤔 Just my phone and my account.

        I haven't sold any cars this year lol

        • zbrakk on 24/03/2024 - 18:35

          Very weird!

  • coffeee on 24/03/2024 - 15:46

    So a sunday is very strange, never seen it on this day before.
    You think sales have dropped?.

    • n908671 on 24/03/2024 - 18:56

      Could be because everyone keeps relisting their stuff from many Saturdays ago so they all roll off on Saturday. Some will just relist again without thinking about free Sunday.

      Or maybe they're just mixing it up a little as everyone had cottoned on to their Saturday specials.

  • Chryogenic on 25/03/2024 - 21:29

    Does anyone know if editing a listing will result in having to pay a success fee?

    • subculturenz on 26/03/2024 - 01:43

      Good question, I don't think editing is actually counted as relisting.

      I might question them on this because I want to change the end date of one auction and make it longer and wonder if they will count as a relist because I am extending out past that week.
