Intellectual property & Trade Me
Those in the Twitterverse may have seen some recent discussion about intellectual property rights, mainly relating to some confusion about whether Android products can be sold on the site (they can!) We thought it would be useful to shed some light on what we do when items that are alleged to infringe on a brand’s IP rights are brought to our attention.
Having a robust programme around all of this is important because we want Trade Me to remain a trusted place for Kiwis to buy and sell everything under the sun.
Our first priority is to protect the marketplace we operate, and that means we need to do our bit to help consumers not be misled or confused about what they are buying, and make sure sellers understand what is and isn’t OK to sell. More...

Media releases: Jobs & Property
We’ve been a bit remiss about not posting media releases up on here. Apologies!
We sent a couple out earlier this month: one from Trade Me Jobs analysing what we have seen over the past quarter in terms of the Kiwi employment market, and also Trade Me Property's take on the national rental market between April and June.
You can view the full releases here: More...
Multi-quantity listings
Good news! Due to popular demand, you can now buy more than one of the same item via a single listing on Trade Me.
For example, if a seller has 60 floor tiles left over from their renovations they can include the quantity available as part of their listing. Sellers will also have the option to charge the one shipping cost, or charge per item.
Buyers can choose how many they want by entering a quantity before they click Buy Now. Bidding won’t be an option on listings with a quantity included. More...
Payment Instructions Error
Update @ 11:30am: We have just released a fix for the sale price weirdness and everything is now back to normal. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience this caused.
