Trademe today increases fees - from 7.9% to 13% - # no fees move to 4tradeit

Tim from STOREIT4LESS

We just received the following message from trademe today (not a joke):

Trademe:
This is to notify you that we’re making some changes to our fees for sellers.
From 1 March 2020, the maximum success fee for a general item will be increasing from $149 to $249 for sales with a final sales value … View more
We just received the following message from trademe today (not a joke):

Trademe:
This is to notify you that we’re making some changes to our fees for sellers.
From 1 March 2020, the maximum success fee for a general item will be increasing from $149 to $249 for sales with a final sales value above $1,886.

This is a substantial selling fee hike from 7.9% to 13%.
I say, spread to word to try 4tradeit.co.nz. This auction and classified selling website is not as fancy and does not have the same deep pockets, but it has no selling fees and will work if enough people give it a go.

Recipe: Fragrant Chicken Salad

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

The marinade in this recipe is based on infusing the chicken with crushed lemongrass. Lemongrass is one of those aromatic greens that seems to cope with being frozen so I always have some in the freezer ready to use. It will usually defrost within 10 minutes. It is important to massage your chicken with the lemongrass and oil. It may look a bit strange but this way, the flavour of the lemongrass will be absorbed.
