Site issue this morning
We had an issue this morning between 9:50am and 10:30am that caused the site to be slow or unavailable for some people. We have now resolved the issue and have extended all auctions that were due to close between 9:50am and 10:50am by two hours.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
Update: Qualifying for Pay Now
Good news - members with 10 feedback or more are now able to accept payment for sold items using Pay Now. Previously, you needed 50 or more feedback to use this service.
We’re keen for more sellers to experience the benefits of Pay Now, so we've reduced the required feedback rating for members to register. You’ll still need to be Address Verified and have a New Zealand bank account to use Pay Now. If you have any questions about this, drop our customer service team a line.
