nz320i 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 So is it me, or does trademe just get worse and worse. I've been a member for about 5 years now (slight trade me fanatic) But its getting worse!! Now the search feature has changed again and its taking me ages to get to the bmw or e30 parts section. Not to mention rising costs slipping in everywhere they can find!! Might have to use Ebay for the lot now .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 1968 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I am locked out of my account until I pay the $3 I owe. Too many price hikes. I wish there was some competition for it. But sadly all that hype about it has turned it into a monster that can charge however much it likes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I must be one of the rare few that thinks Trade Me is brilliant. I don't mind the fees, as it is so easy and effortless to use, I don't mind paying a decent cut of anything I sell. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMW Sila 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Try this one http://www.sellmefree.co.nz/ its pretty much like trademe! but FREE!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 TradeMe fees are reasonable to me but I wish there could be "bulk discount" for those that trade a lot. As for search result, I havn't had too much trouble with it but I think it's more about people put rubbish keywords in their listing and screw up the search results.

Cheers Grant I agree, I think the prices they charge represent real value for money given the amount of exposure that you gain - The stats for it are mind blowing. People online right now (live) 57,226 No. of active members (live) 2,021,419 No. of current listings (live) 1,202,766 Average time spent on the site* 18 minutes Number of people who visit each month** 4,076,322 Average number of people who visit each day** 464,700 Busiest day of the week* Monday Busiest hour of the day* 9-10pm Why shouldn't they up there fee's now and again, I don't see a problem? It is a business after all and I don't consider the fee's to be excessive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
