Christchurch remembrance: site down for 2 minutes
Trade Me will observe two minutes of silence from 12:51pm to 12:53pm today out of respect for those affected by the Christchurch earthquake a year ago. Our thoughts are with you.
As a result, we will be offline between 12:51pm and 12:53pm this afternoon. Please note that all auctions due to close between 12:45pm and 1:00pm will be extended by 30 minutes.

Payment Delays - Waitangi Day
The banks shut up shop on Monday 6th February for Waitangi 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 8pm on Friday 3rd February, the payment won’t be processed until the morning of Wednesday 8th February
Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but that’s the nature of public holidays. Enjoy the long weekend!
