I Thought The Trading Post Closed Years Ago - Is This Still The Same Business?

We stopped producing our printed publication in 2009 as people moved online and have continued since then as an online-only marketplace for our millions of Aussie buyers and sellers. We are still the same Aussie owned business that has been operating non-stop since 1967.

Why Don’t I See You Advertising On TV or Billboards or Radio?

We find online marketing techniques now work much better than legacy media. Together with our 55 years of brand history this attracts and retains our audience of millions of Aussie buyers and sellers.

How Many Videos Can I Have On My Listing?

We accept unlimited YouTube videos on all listings. Our research also shows that listings with videos attract more attention and more enquiries…especially when competitively priced.

How much does listing placement cost?

Listings in many categories remain free on the Tradingpost, however some categories do attract a listing fee. To see the current price just post a listing, and then based on the listing you create, the exact current publishing price will be displayed on the last page before you commit.

How Often Can I Edit My Listing?

You can edit your ad as often as you like. There is no limit to how many edits you can make or how often you make them, so feel free to adjust your ad as you go to get the best result.

Why Isn’t It Free To Publish Ads In Some Categories On Trading Post?

Some high value and emotional categories of listings are unfortunately common targets for online scammers.

Noticing the growing levels of online fraud, we decided many years ago to invest in protecting our Sellers and Buyers with a 7 day per-week human team to block the scammers, fraudsters, and fake buyers & sellers that are now so common on most other online marketplaces.

The moderate listing fee in some categories helps fund this full-time anti-fraud and seller support team to keep our Sellers and Buyers as safe as possible. You can even call them 7 days per week on 1300 004 707 for any help you need.

How Many Photos Can I Have On My Listing?

You can upload as many photos as you like to your listing on Trading Post. We accept super-large high-resolution images too….so your items will look amazing when zoomed in and on large screens.

Why Not Just List On Gumtree Or Facebook Marketplace?

Apart from the fact that you will sell your items FAST on Trading Post - We are the only Australian marketplace that HUMAN REVIEWS all listings before publication and HUMAN REVIEWS all on platform buyer enquiries before transmission.

This stops fake, scam, and dodgy buyers from messaging through our platform, which protects you from wasting your time or falling for the sophisticated scams that are now all-over some other online marketplaces.
