Kia ora g14us, AJ and S have given good advice about refunding any extra shipping (and your fees being refunded), you could also consider adding a line to your listing descriptions for buyers to select shipping per item and that you'll refund any overpaid shipping for combined postage so buyers know it's an option.

Kia ora Lyndyann and philkerri, sorry to hear you've had trouble receiving our emails. We're upgrading our systems behind the scenes and as part of this upgrade, some of our emails will come from a different 'notifications@transactional.trademe.co.nz' email address. This could be a case of them going to your junk/spam/promotions folder or your email client thinking they're spam and deleting them right away. The best thing to do is add all our email addresses to your safe sender list. If you're still having trouble receiving these emails after doing this, please let me know.
Kia ora everyone, sorry for the inconvenience, yes this is a bug that the team are aware of and are currently working on.
Kia ora simon277, sorry to hear about your experience on the site. We work hard to keep the site safe for our members, as scammers become increasingly sophisticated we are constantly reviewing our security processes. The changes we have made, offering Ping on every listing, are all about keeping our users safe. While most fraudulent activity on Trade Me is resolved swiftly, in 2025 nearly all of the scams that they couldn't help their customers involved bank transfers.

Kia ora alex2300 and Gary-NZStocked, this is something we're already working on, with listings that are created on our new system you can filter for "Australia" under the international filter. This feature will be available in more categories as we continue with our updates to the site.
Kia ora ibrahim88, sorry to hear you're having trouble completing your car sale. Check your junk emails in case the buyers emails have gone there. Otherwise you can relist your car by opening your sold listing, there is a box on the right with the option to relist your vehicle. It is free to relist your car within 90 days. Selling a car on Trade Me Motors is different from listing a general item. You pay a listing fee upfront and there are no success fees when your car sells.
Kia ora hutakawatree, that's right, no more success fees for casual sellers! You can find more information about big changes here.
Kia ora, Multi-Quantity Listings aren't available for listings created in our new system, can you let me know what categories you were looking to list under so we can rule that out. Any screenshots you have would be welcome 🙂
