DVDs & BluRay don't count towards listing allowance - but CDs do?

Yeah I think this is a hangover from a few years ago when Trade Me had a special listing process for DVDs 

They weren't listed in the normal way. There was a database with all the DVDs on it. You would type the name of your DVD and the rest was prefilled. So it was perhaps too difficult to pull those listings through to be counted in the listing allowance

Either that or simply because there were/are some really big DVD sellers back before international sellers were allowed. They argued HVL fees were unfair on DVDs when they are a relatively low cost item but they have thousands listed. 

I remember when DVDs were once one of Trade Me's biggest sellers. Times change of course......

Kia ora markuswinter and Callum, yes, this goes back to the days of the DVD catalogue. The catalogue meant that the DVD category didn't get clogged with members listing lots of the same thing. 

Kia ora Trade Me Support,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm writing regarding my listing (Listing ID: 6004918147), as I'm concerned there may be an issue affecting its visibility.

When creating the listing, I purchased the Featured upgrade (approximately $3.95) because I urgently need to sell the item as quickly as possible. I chose this upgrade specifically because it was recommended as the best option to maximise exposure and attract buyers.

Unfortunately, several hours after the listing went live, it has only received three views. This is very unusual compared with what I expected, and I'm worried there may be a technical issue preventing the listing from being shown correctly. Given the value of the item, the competitive price, and the Featured upgrade, I'm concerned it may not be appearing where it should.

I'm currently dealing with an urgent family emergency, which is why selling this item promptly is so important to me. I appreciate that you can't guarantee a sale, but I would be extremely grateful if someone could urgently review the listing to confirm it is being displayed correctly in search results, featured placements, recommendations, and anywhere else it should appear as part of the Featured package.

If there is any issue with the listing or its promotion, I'd sincerely appreciate anything that can be done to correct it as soon as possible.

I'm a first-time Trade Me user and was hoping to move my business to Trade Me, but if this isn't fixed urgently I may not continue.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look into this. I genuinely appreciate any assistance or urgency you can provide.

Kind regards,

James
