Hi All,
I just got a letter from trademe stating that items with foreign plugs cannot be sold on trademe even with a plug adaptor.
I have taken a look at the applicable links and can't find anything on those sites (energysafety.govt.nz) about electrical plug guidelines (although it is probably there somewhere)
I purchased a cellphone for my wife from a retailer in Auckland who provided me with a GST receipt and a foreign plug and adaptor. Effectively this means that I cannot sell this item on trademe now. Where does this leave the parallel imported market? If it is illegal to sell these items on trademe then surely it must be illegal to sell them retail?
Can anyone with more idea about electricity than I do shed some light on the subject?
Cheers, Matt.
