Payments delay for Labour Day
The banks shut up shop on Monday 22 October for Labour Day, which means some payments to Trade Me accounts will be processed a little later than usual. If you pay via phone or internet banking after 10pm on Friday 19 October, the payment won’t be processed until the morning of Wednesday 24 October. Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but that’s the nature of public holidays. Enjoy the long weekend!
The Trade Me refresh is live
Last month we let you know about our plans to refresh the Trade Me homepage. Today, we’re excited to announce this roll-out of the new look to all members. Our aim with this refresh is to make your favourite things more easily accessible, while still keeping the Trade Me features we all know and love. We’ve taken on feedback from heaps of members along the way to make sure we were on the right track.
We hope you enjoy the new look, and of course you’re welcome to flick us an email to let us know what you think.
Trade Me Trust & Safety blog launched
To be an effective website, Trade Me needs to be trusted and safe. We seek to do that not only by helping Kiwis buy and sell, but by running a tight ship, helping members make sure they meet their legal and regulatory obligations, promoting good ‘netiquette’ and fixing the issues when people break that trust.
To help our members understand where we’re coming from, we've created the Trust & Safety blog.
To start with we've got a few posts you might want to check out: More...
Introducing AutoReel – new video technology
From 3 October, Trade Me Motors is implementing a new video technology called AutoReel. This video feature will be available on participating dealers’ cars for sale, and will bring together the photos of the vehicle with a voiceover description.
You will be able to recognise listings that have AutoReel by a small video icon or play button on the vehicle’s photos.
We think it is going to be a great way of presenting all of the vehicle’s information at once, which should bring the car to life for members.
Reminder: Daylight saving kicks in Sunday morning
Remember that daylight saving kicks in at 2am this Sunday morning, and you'll need to put your clock forward one hour.
So nobody gets inconvenienced by the time change, all auctions due to close between 2am and 4am on Sunday morning will be extended by two hours.
Daylight saving will be with us right through until Sunday 7 April 2013. More...
