Owner listing pack
Reach Trade Me buyers from your own account.

Your enquiry number and email
A dedicated phone number and email address for your car, so interest lands in your portal.
Step by step
Five steps, about fifteen minutes.
We never ask for your password
Your Trade Me account stays yours. Motor Match will never ask for your Trade Me password, sign in as you, or ask you to change your account email to a Motor Match address. Forwarding only Trade Me's buyer emails gives the same result without anyone else controlling your account.
