Terms of use

Electrical Marketplace is part of the NearMe network and provides Australian classifieds for electrical equipment, parts, wanted ads and the electricians and trade businesses who sell and service them. By creating an account or using the site you agree to these terms.

The marketplace is a venue

Sellers create listings and buyers deal with them directly. We do not own, inspect, test or certify listed equipment, hold sale proceeds, perform installation work, issue certificates of electrical safety or compliance, or guarantee condition, compatibility, licensing or that an item meets the current AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules. Check the item, seller and proposed work before paying; our safety guide explains the practical checks.

Installation is licensed-electrician work

Much of the gear listed here is prescribed or declared electrical equipment. In Australia it is illegal to do your own fixed electrical wiring: the installation, connection and alteration of electrical equipment must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Buying a part on this site does not entitle you to install or connect it yourself. Nothing on the platform is electrical advice, a design, or authority to energise anything.

Accounts and seller identity

You need an account to list or message sellers. Keep your login secure and provide accurate details. A business seller who displays a trading name must be entitled to use the supplied ABN. Account setup checks format and duplicate use; it is not an independent ABR, licence or ownership verification. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the listing rules.

Listings, services and safety claims

Describe the exact model, condition, known faults, inclusions and price. Do not claim that equipment, an electrical installation or an item is approved, certified, tested or compliant with the current wiring rules unless you hold current evidence that applies to it. Electrical contractors and service providers are responsible for every registration, electrical licence, permit, insurance and safety duty required for the work they advertise. We may remove a listing or request supporting evidence.

Plans, boosts and payments to us

Free Private includes up to five active ads. Private Seller Plus is A$14.95 per month including GST for up to 25 active ads and the stated private-seller tools. Business seller accounts are unlimited and free at launch. A featured boost is A$9.95 for 30 days. There is no paid repost product. A paid benefit starts only after Stripe confirms successful payment. If Plus renewal fails, paid capacity and tools pause; a failed boost payment never starts or extends a boost. Refund rights under Australian Consumer Law remain.

Buyer and seller rights

Australian Consumer Law can apply differently to a business sale and a one-off private sale. A business seller must not mislead buyers and may owe consumer guarantees. Private sales do not usually carry most consumer guarantees, although title, undisturbed possession and no hidden debts still matter. Nothing in these terms removes a right that the law says cannot be removed.

Acceptable use

Do not list unlawful, stolen, counterfeit, recalled or prohibited items; mislead users; harvest personal details; interfere with the service; or use messages for anything unrelated to a genuine marketplace enquiry. See the listing rules for the electrical-safety and used-equipment boundary.

Optional marketing

Marketing is not required to use the marketplace. At listing time you may separately opt in to relevant Electrical Marketplace and NearMe Ads network marketing by email and/or SMS. Service and account messages are not marketing. You can withdraw either consent from Account preferences; a network opt-out always takes priority.

Your content

You own the photos and text you post and license us to display them to run and promote the marketplace. Only post content you have the right to use.

Liability

Nothing here excludes Australian Consumer Law rights. Beyond what applicable law requires, we provide the platform as is and are not liable for a buyer's or seller's acts, an item, installation, service, message or direct transaction.
