E-commerce adviser tip

Trade Me wants to work with sellers who have strong ecommerce experience, who can add value to the Trade Me user community by bringing unique products and desirable brands.

Applicants will need be experienced marketplace sellers, ideally already selling via cross border marketplaces. Exceptions are possible, but in general sellers should have a minimum of £100k online sales a year.

UK products and categories that work particularly well on Trade Me are Home & Living, Clothing & Fashion, Mobile Phones & Tech and Car parts & Accessories. UK businesses wishing to apply, need to be either the brand owner or authorised to sell the brand.

About the customers

Because 85% of the population of New Zealand hold a Trade Me account, the platform reaches a very broad demographic spread.
