I have had a look on the web for an alternative website to Trade Me.

There is http://nz.ebid.net

Apparently there is a site called Buddy Bid. I found http://www.buddybid.com/ but it seems to be dead.

There is also GraysOnline: http://www.graysonline.co.nz/

I am planning on selling car parts online (actually only one 3D printed plastic dash part) and was wondering if anybody out there has any suggestions other than Trade Me.

Thanks,

Tim

KiwiTim,

What you need to consider is this.

Lets say I started a business, selling car parts. How am I to compete if there are lots of small traders, like yourself undercutting me because you are not paying tax? Is that fair? I don't think so.

Not to mention, there could be a whole industry of small traders, like yourself not paying tax, how is this good for our society?

"Unless you have religiously adhered to payment of all local and national government fees and taxes throughout your life, then it is hypocritical to complain about tax avoidance for trivial amounts."

I have, myself, so I am not being hypocritical. You should not assume that of anyone. Also, don't forget, two wrongs don't make a right!

I believe the others have been fair in their comments, you are selling for a profit, it is now law, if it does not mean that much to you then maybe you should not be in business selling these items?
