Only $9 to list a vehicle. I'm sure someone will post a link to all the news articles.
Just getting it out there, have a gander at the pricing structure

never heard of it. Why would I try and sell a car on a site that isn't known.

Their site's gone down, too many trying to sign up at once maybe!

Worth a shot while it's popular, the influx of people will at least briefly make it quite good.

franc123, Sep 26, 8:48pm
good luck to them but if you're not getting the keyboard traffic people soon give up listing stuff.

im sure you wouldn't have heard of trademe when i signed up - Wheedle will work, there is space for 2 even 3 online auction sites. Sella is ok but it needs more marketing.
Wheedle has some serious backing - maybe Neil Graham should list his One-77 Aston Martin for $1 reserve to achieve a media frenzy

Must be better than giving money to Rupert Murdoch.

Rubbish name.
Seriously, whoever thought of that should be sacked, along with whoever approved it.
It's hard to say, too many letters & VERY unmemorable.

People said most of that about Trade Me back in 1999 - some said it sounded like an Escort agency.

that's what was said about google

Well they do provide a place to conduct business and demand a cut of ya earnings. And if ya step out of line and try promote yerself you get the b'slap email LOL

Looks like a winner, wonder if Mainfreight on board with shipping, think they own tnt couriers don't they! Have always said to people there's money to be made with an upscaled version of prepaid courier/shipping boxes for likes of trademe. How often have we seen threads on how do I ship a table/ladder/car etc. Maybe thats why the fees are so low, they plan to cash in on the freight side! Why charge someone 50 cents to sell a book when you can cream $4 for the shipping etc.

Had a nosey last night, no landscape photos for sale yet, may have to be first in, was too late at night to be bothered mucking about though.

you be gone soon tradme delete everyonesaccount who post direct competition on here. well thats how it used to be when somone said turners auction on here befor they had listings with links to there site. plus there is about 10 other sites who compete with tradme. since years just use google nz onlylol

raymond00001, Sep 27, 8:22am

Already a company that does that, Shipmytrade.co.nz

Their launch date coincides with a Trade Me fee hike from 5+% to 8+%.Now's a great time to look at alternatives.Trade Me are continually posting multi-million dollar profits, yet the fees continue to rise.Don't buy into the loyalty thing.I'm going to be loyal to the company that isn't raping me of my hard-earned money.

intrade, Sep 27, 2:00pm
yea bit like shooting in your leg with your own gun

scoobeey, Sep 27, 7:44pm
loooks like a winner if servers would work pfffft

treachug, Sep 27, 7:50pm
Officially goes live Monday so maybe thats why.

yellowsubmarine, Sep 27, 7:51pm
what about sella!

74nova, Sep 28, 4:50am
Well I'm gonna give it a try. nothing to loose.

supernova2, Sep 28, 11:25am
I think we all should try it.

3tomany, Sep 28, 11:31am
i hope they have a message board all the good people on here are gone maybe they will show up on wheedle if they do one

haydenk94, Sep 28, 11:37am
I hope weedle blows the arse out of trademe. Decent competetion is long overdue, and hopefully will sort these nazi's out. I will be one of the first on board, probably soon too, as soon as the trademe gestapo get wind of this dissent I will be banished!

jmma, Sep 28, 11:40am
New trader, no feedbacks, I'm sure trademe will beg you to come back (o:
