What listing tools can help a professional seller?

My Products is Trade Me’s free in-house listing tool, aimed at small-to-medium-sized sellers on the site. It allows you to run your business more smoothly by automatically managing your Trade Me listings, based on the parameters set by you.

To get started, begin by creating your products. Products have the same details as a standard Trade Me listing, but also include extra details such as setting the stock level and choosing a SKU that enables you to manage your stock.

Once your products are set up, My Products will ensure there is always a listing running for each product, for as long as stock is available.

In using My Products you’ll also have access to features such as automatically sending out Fixed Price Offers, updating products in bulk, listing footers, and the My Products ‘Sold’ tab.
