Trade me says no to sales of non NZ electrical products

I got an email this week saying as below.
Now some may remember trade-me cancelling one of my sales of a UK NES last year under some electrical act which says it's illegal.
In my case it wasn't, since the item was older that a certain date, not that trade-me responded to my email regarding it.
Now they are just blanket banning foreign goods. And in a sense blanket banning sales of vintage items that don't originate in NZ.
What a bunch of dicks.

Hi Matt,
As you've recently sold an item that included a power supply or charger, we wanted to remind you of the rules around the sale of electrical items on Trade Me.
It is the responsibility of sellers to ensure that an item is safe before you list it on the site.
Most electrical items require a supplier declaration of conformity (SDOC) before they can be sold, while other items considered higher risk also require safety approval or certification. For example, decorative lights and power plug adaptors require an approval before they can be offered for sale.
Trade Me works very closely with Energy Safety to ensure that sellers are meeting their legal obligations. If Energy Safety asks you for your SDOC, you must supply it to them.
For more information on electrical items, visit the Energy Safety website and check out their guide to supplying safe electrical products.
We'd also like to remind you that items with foreign plugs can't be sold on the site. These plugs are not safe for use in New Zealand. Including an adaptor is not permitted as a workaround.
Cheers,
The Trade Me Team
