Trade Me drops seller fees – now it has to win back users
Trade Me is bidding farewell to some of its marketplace fees.
From March 10, sellers won’t have to pay a 7.9% success fee when they sell things like their couch, a dress, lamp, or TV.
The platform’s said it wants to make it easier for Kiwis to declutter their homes, say goodbye to their second hand stuff, and get some extra cash in their pockets.
But, it the change ACTUALLY about that – or is TradeMe getting outshone by other online marketplaces?
Today on The Front Page, Massey University marketing expert Bodo Lang is with us to talk about our obsession with selling our old stuff.
Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
