Changes to payment options for professional sellers

To create a safer and more streamlined experience, we are updating the accepted payment methods for in-trade sellers on Trade Me.

From Monday 3 November, new listings from in-trade sellers will exclusively use Ping, with cash and Afterpay as optional additions.

How it works

• The available payment options via our website, app, and for listings created via listing tools will be updated from Monday 3 November. 
• Active listings will remain unchanged until they expire and are relisted after the date of change. Once they relist or are edited, Ping will automatically be added and bank transfer as a payment option will be removed. Afterpay and cash will remain on the listing if they were previously selected.
• All new listings from 3 November will have Ping automatically enabled as a payment option and you can choose to add cash and Afterpay.
• Payments up to $25,000 can now be processed via Ping.  For any items you sell for more than $25,000, cash will be the only option and you’ll need to arrange payment directly with the buyer.

What you need to do

To ensure you're ready to accept Ping payments, check that your correct NZ bank account is linked to your Ping account.

When you receive a payment via Ping, a transaction fee of 2.19% will be deducted from the total amount the buyer pays (including shipping). If you choose to offer Afterpay, a transaction fee of 4.95% is deducted from the total payment amount (including shipping).

Ping and Afterpay payments are covered by our Buyer Protection policy.

By moving to secure payments, we're better protecting your business and our members with every transaction.
