You are sitting on a goldmine

We’re waiving Success Fees on Home & Living and Clothing & Fashion until Sunday 22 February¹ so you can turn those items into cash and untap your hidden $1,300.

  TradeMe are getting really weasely with their fee structure these days so this requires a bit of explaination:

  Ping fees are 2.19% of item+shipping price

  Also, this promotion is launched concurrently with with a new type of buyer fee for these categories:

  It seems that they removed the actual fee costs from that page, but someone on Reddit screenshotted it first:

    Given that we can't accept a bank transfer, I think its safe to say that I won't be listing for sale with TradeMe.

    People always say that, but what are you comparing them to? Most reputable online marketplaces I’ve seen, locally & overseas have equal or greater fees.

    Designer Wardrobe NZ charges around 13% + 3% for card payments, 5% for AfterPay.
    eBay AU/US, Poshmark, Mercari & OfferUp charge 13% or more.

    TradeMe are at about 10% including Ping. It seems reasonable to me.

      I agree - I've never had an issue with the fees per se, but not allowing buyers to pay me via bank transfer, and having to accept folding stuff is crap.

      FaceBook MarketPlace is literally a waste of time.

        Professional sellers have been unable to officially accept bank transfers since November last year. So a lot of people already know the workaround. Some sellers even explain how to do it in the description. "If you don't want to use Ping, tick pay with cash and I will send bank details"

          @kiwical: Yep - that works, but if you have a problem, and you've circumvented TradeMe's policy, you are on your own even more than you would otherwise have been.
