As an authenticated trader you are more trusted than non-authenticated members.
There are two ways to get authenticated:
- top-up your Trade Me account with $1.
- purchase something on Trade Me using Buy Now, and pay via Ping.
Once authenticated, you’ll have a red star beside your username – this is a key indicator of authenticated accounts.
Why become authenticated?
Authenticated members are able to:
- list items for sale
- place bids over $5,000
- place bids on more than five separate auctions at once.
