Ping service fee charged to seller

Kia Ora acsstrade,

The current Ping promotion for % off Success fees incurs the Ping fee charge of 2.19% on sale and shipping price for the Seller - the Buyer pays a Service fee charge on the Listings also which is a separate additional charge. The savings for Casual Sellers is 5+% on all listings in the 2 Promotion categories.

You can read further regarding both through the Help file below... there is a link through to the Buyer Service fee at the Bottom of the page under 'Things you need to know' - No I'm not TradeMe staff, I a Member same as you. - Cheers.

No Success Fees 12-22 Feb

In addition to S's post, because your item was $20 or under, there is no service fee payable by the buyer. If it has been $20.01, they would have paid 0.99c

tintin4 Do you have examples of items that still show the service fee? I can't see any on a quick look, but guess it's possible there could be some. The promo applied to items started last week, so if they are still live then yes, I guess the service fee could still be showing.  

Applies to listings ***started**** from 12:00 am on Thursday 12 February until 11:59 pm on Sunday 22 February 2026

Ive just tried to list something in the clothing category and I can choose any payment method

No im not suggested that at all, Im just saying that the promotion has finished as it no longer applies for listing made today as tested. A screenshot may help us with what your seeing. In theory now that the promotion has ended, you should be able to do a relist and not be forced to use ping - note you may have to deselect it.

Can you provide screen shots of the screens? As I said, it works fine for me and shows all payment options.
