What’s new on Marketplace: March 2026

We’ve said goodbye to Success Fees

We’re removing Success Fees for casual sellers on Marketplace. This means when your item sells, you keep 100% of the sale price. Other fees may apply.

Any listings (new or relists) made on or after 10 March will no longer attract a Success Fee.

Swift and secure payments with Ping by Trade Me

Starting from 10 March, all Marketplace listings will include Ping as our primary payment method with Afterpay and cash offered as well. 

Ping provides guaranteed, swift and secure payment for sellers and Buyer Protection. A 2.19% seller transaction fee applies.

A Service Fee

We added a Service Fee for Buyers on casual purchases over $20. This Service Fee helps keep our platform operating and allows us to provide a safe, supported platform for Kiwi to trade. 

You’ll only see this fee when you’re buying from a casual seller, and it will be clearly shown before you commit to a purchase.
