Their listing counters in categories are also broken.

Exactly what I thought when I visited it the other day - and site performance was pretty crap yesterday too.

I expect the Fairfax boys may launch some legal action based on Wheeldle's looks and category names....

1304504 2012-10-01 23:49:00 Meh - I don't think it will attract any more attention than TradeMe - unless someone wishing to purchase something finds it cheaper on Wheedle. Just depends on who has it cheaper on the day... lordnoddy (3645)

1304507 2012-10-02 00:11:00 Ebay is better. Even their NZ ebay store is better :D (looks like it hasn't been touched since launch!!)

Trademe is fine for local listings but too many sites don't create competition, they create fragmentation. If you want to launch a site like this don't try and compete with trademe, appeal to a different market eg specialty products or cheap sales of random things like hussle live. (kinda like craigslist in the states)
