Is MP going to be discontinued?

May 15, 2026 01:23

It's an extremely out of date platform now. I've noticed you can no longer import the "new" style listings on trademe also. Is it time to just kill off this MP feature? Or is trademe actually going to put some effort into making it less bad?

They won't be able to kill it off completely. Too many large sellers are invested in it.

I can envisage a couple of options:

1. They revamp it and start charging for it.

2. They revamp it and it remains free - unlikely IMO

3. They kill it and move people to TradeVine instead. Trade Me own this, but it will probably also need a revamp and an injection of staff. This seems a most likely solution

4. They get rid of the standard listing method and make a completely new listing process with MPish features. eBay went down this route.

If they kill My Products, they will literally be killing Trade Me,

as that platform is the only thing keeping a lot off us here, as listing on the actual site is a dogs dinner,

which does not effect those of us whom currently are using My Products,

but the appear to be trying to push people towards my products?
