The ban will be reviewed after 18 months.
Mr Marston told the Herald in May he was lucky not to receive head injuries after the 4.7m-high ladder collapsed within seconds of his using it.
He ruptured his calf muscle and severely strained his left ankle in the January accident in which he fell about three metres.
The ladder, which he bought on Trade Me, had been advertised as meeting European safety standards and having a safe working load of 150kg.
"I can assure you, I'm not 150kg," Mr Marston said .
"It was the first time I'd used it. I got about three-quarters of the way up. And it snapped in half."
Trade Me spokesman Jon Duffy said it was now mandatory for all ladders sold on the site to meet the voluntary Australia and New Zealand standard for ladders.
"We were pretty alarmed by the incident and so at that time we immediately withdrew all of those ladders from the site and we required all new ladders sold on Trade Me to meet that standard, and that has been our policy since that time."
While the announcement by the ministry today related only to multipurpose ladders, Trade Me's current listing policy covered all ladders, he said.
