People will have to pay with cash after a Trade Me sale if they want to avoid a fee.

The company's removing its 7.9 percent 'success fee' for casual selling - keeping only a small service fee.

Along with Afterpay and cash, Trade Me uses its own payment system, Ping - taking just over two percent from every sale. 

Trade Me’s Head of Marketplace Lisa Stewart says bank transfers will now be against their policy.

"We've got teams of folks who scan the site to check that nothing dodgy is going on, if they catch that that kind of behaviour's happening, we'd look to educate our customers."

The Minister for Transport says scrapping the Clean Car Standard's being considered. 

The standard imposes fees on importers bringing high emitting vehicles into the country.

A Transport Ministry-led review recently involved consultations with the vehicle industry, where they were asked for their thoughts on possible abolishment. 

Chris Bishop says this type of review, by definition, must look at the need for something overall. 

"It would be fair to say not that many people are keen on scrapping it altogether, we're going through a process with industry right now and we do want to see cleaner cars in New Zealand over time."
