Is Trademe slowly dying?

[harm_less]

Trademe used to be the local market place where locals sold their stuff. When I go looking I first start by filtering location, and that single move reduces the offering by two thirds. Then I go to Used and that cuts out another two thirds.

And that is why TM is a different place.

In your situation you have Auckland on your doorstep so that filtering isn't as severe as for those of us who live out in the provinces. In that respect the added burden of paying for delivery nationwide, if the seller can be bothered offering this, often turns what would be a bargain into its competing with buying retail.

The earlier post about "Enshittification" really does hit the Trade Me situation on the head.
