I thought the Trading Post closed years ago. Is this still the same business?
We stopped producing our printed publication in 2009 as people moved online, and have continued since then as an online-only marketplace for our millions of Aussie buyers and sellers.
We are still the same Aussie owned business that has been operating non-stop since 1966.

Why don't I see you advertising on TV, billboards or radio?
We find online marketing techniques now work much better than legacy media. Together with our 55 years of brand history this attracts and retains our audience of millions of Aussie buyers and sellers.
Why isn't it free to publish a car ad on Tradingpost?
