| 751769 | 2009-02-27 04:33:00 | It will become bigger and bigger like trademe, and the profit potential will be realised by future investors. The whole shebang will be sold off to some multimedia conglomerate who will then implement high success fees and much advertising, causing many people great ire and discontent. The whole cycle will repeat once again... | forrest44 (754) | ||
| 751770 | 2009-02-27 04:34:00 | The TradeMe fee on an ordinary $135 item is $9.32. | AvonBill (11358) | ||
| 751771 | 2009-02-27 04:39:00 | I should really start my own auction website shouldn't I, something clean and simple, geared towards helping people buy and sell and not making profit from advertising/success fees. Then if everyone on here begins to use it I suppose it would get a bit of momentum going and, well, who knows.... Thats what this is for.. http://www.sella.co.nz/ Sell me free:clap |

| 751773 | 2009-02-27 20:07:00 | Had a quick look at Sella, it looks just like Trademe with no fees. I think something radically different is needed. |

| 751774 | 2009-02-28 00:59:00 | I use Zillion a lot. Admittedly, that's mainly for books. My favourite sellers have low reserves, charge reasonable postage & I'm very happy with them. Yes, I know it hasn't as many sellers/choices as TradeMe (which I use occasionally also) And I can't quote its success fees off the top of my head, but I do know they're lower than TM. I find Zillions online bidding & payment info simpler also: no messing around with emails, but a Private Message system similar to PF1's. Worth a look? http:www.zillion.co.nz |

| 751775 | 2009-02-28 08:03:00 | Anyone else sick of the fees you have to pay every time someone wins one of your auctions? I recently have sold around $200 worth of stuff, and have gone through about $20 in fee Cheaper than going to an auction house. Fees are 15 - 25%. You are talking about a 10% fee with Trademe, in fact I think its usually a bit less. Sounds very fair. And you do have a choice. Apart from the other sites, use your newspaper as Metla said. Still works, just requires a bit more patience. |

| 751778 | 2009-03-01 18:50:00 | if it was based on the forum model of zilion then it would be much simpler to setup and maintain i would think, i guess there would have to be some fees but as long as it was clear to the users where there fees are going im sure they'd happily pay for a cheaper trademe | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
