Trademe today increases fees - from 7.9% to 13% - # no fees move to 4tradeit
We just received the following message from trademe today (not a joke):
Trademe:
This is to notify you that we’re making some changes to our fees for sellers.
From 1 March 2020, the maximum success fee for a general item will be increasing from $149 to $249 for sales with a final sales value above $1,886.
This is a substantial selling fee hike from 7.9% to 13%.
I say, spread to word to try 4tradeit.co.nz. This auction and classified selling website is not as fancy and does not have the same deep pockets, but it has no selling fees and will work if enough people give it a go.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
