It’s Cyber Security Awareness Week
This week is New Zealand's first official Cyber Security Awareness Week, which means it's a great time to improve your online security.
Password security is important to get right, but it’s one area not many people do well in. The good news is that it’s easy to improve, so here are a few tips to help keep your passwords secure:
Do's
- Length - use eight or more characters
- Complexity – Include upper and lower case letters, numbers, symbols and so on
- Variation – Change your passwords every few months
- Variety – Use a different password for each account (if one account is compromised you won’t lose them all) More...
Update to the banned and restricted items list
We've recently updated the items that can’t be listed on Trade Me, or can only be listed in limited circumstances.
Significant changes have been made to digital media, firearms, flights, ladders and offensive weapons while other sections have been brought up to date.
It's always a good idea to check if you're unsure whether your item is able to be listed on the site. You can see the complete updated banned and restricted items list here.
Get on top with Super Feature
You can now promote your rental property by upgrading to a Super Feature. It doesn’t have magical powers, but it puts you at the top of all other listings (on rotation) for relevant searches, meaning more eyes on your listing.
Here’s what else you need to know:
- The cost is $79 (including GST) for seven days - the $79 also includes standard Feature which lasts for the duration of your listing.
- You can renew your super feature for $55 (including GST) which then lasts for another seven days.
- Rental Super Features will appear on random rotation, above all other rental property listings on relevant searches.
- The rental Super Feature will display your first three photos.
- It is available for all residential rental property types and car parks.
To add Super Feature to your rental, simply select the option at the time of listing. If your rental is already on the site, you can upgrade to a Super Feature through the ‘promote’ option on My Trade Me.
