SellBuyNet is here to help any and all Kiwis to buy, sell and exchange goods and services, new or second hand, by direct contact between buyer and seller. Its similar for jobs, services, and tution. Until further notice, there are no registration or subscription fees, no advert placement, browsing or response fees and no success fees.
SellBuyNet does not support, nor much believe in, auctions - just old fashioned bargaining between buyers and sellers. We encourage both parties to make phone, email and personal contact with each other in your own ways. As with other sites, we support the uploading and viewing of a number of photos (currently 6) of each item offered. However, as with traditional trading, we advise potential buyers to view the items in person before making offers for them, where practical. Thus, SellBuyNet is basically the Internet equivalent of the traditional newspaper classified ads but, aside from the zero cost to both buyer and seller, it has all the advantages of convenience, flexibility, immediacy and easy searching that the Internet has over print.
Please Register, if you haven't already and start placing all those adverts you've always wanted to but didn't want to wade through the more complicated sites and still end up paying them for the privilege!
If you're unclear about something, please check out the FAQ first.
If its not there or, if you have a good idea or suggestion, please give us as much Feedback as you have time for. That includes any bugs, of course, but also any and all other aspects of style, ease of use, clarity, what new categories we should have, etc.
If you do like SellBuyNet, please tell your friends about it. Word of mouth is still a big factor.
With all the above, come responsibilities. Play fair, trade fair, be fair. A good deal should leave both parties smiling. We still believe that Kiwis have a strong sense of what's right and what's not and we reserve our right to ban anyone who, in our opinion, is not playing fair or otherwise abusing the service we are providing.

SellBuyNet is hosted by BlueHost. They are an American firm but, we're sorry to say, provide far greater resources for far less money than local hosting firms. If that changes, we'll happily switch.
