Trade Me has announced changes to how it charges for auctions, but the Motors section has been left out.
From February 1 the site will switch to a new ‘simplified’ system for pricing actions, reducing the costs of small auctions, but raising them for items worth more.
The company says Motors – along with Property and Jobs – is not part of the change.
Trade Me head of Motors Darren ‘Dazz’ Wiltshire reinforces that.
“There are no plans to change the dealer pricing structure in the immediate future,” Wiltshire says. “We went through a change back in October.”
“We review pricing independently of other parts of the business – a change in one area does not necessarily signify a change in another.”
