Site outage this morning
We had a slight problem at 8:25am this morning that caused the site to be unavailable for a few minutes. We’re sorry about this and have extended all auctions that were due to close between 8:25am and 9:25am by 1 hour.
Back to the future for Daily Deals
We hate delaying any new initiative, but sadly we won’t be kicking off the 1-day powered Daily Deals on 1 November as planned.
Delivering a strong consumer-centric mix for Daily Deals is critical and we’re not quite there yet. As a result we will continue with the existing form of Daily Deals, and hold fire on the relaunch until next year. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Meanwhile if you’ve got some quality products in good numbers that you can offer to our members at a great price we’d love to hear from you. Just flick us a note through the Daily Deals contact page.
Trade Me Jobs Bounty Hunter
We’ve just launched a new section on Trade Me Jobs called Bounty Hunter which should help job advertisers find the people they’re after.
Through Bounty Hunter, you can forward Bounty Hunter job listings to friends who are suited to the positions. If your friend gets the job and they mention you referred the job to them, you could receive $1,000.

A change to Daily Deals from 1 November
We have good news for members who like a great deal - as of Tuesday 1 November, the Daily Deals on our homepage will be powered by the team at 1-day, New Zealand's largest daily deals site.
There will still be three deals every day running from 10am for 24 hours, or until sold out. The deals offered by 1-day on the Trade Me homepage will be totally different from the deals appearing on 1-day, and will be sourced with our members in mind.
1-day will be responsible for sourcing the deals, customer service, and delivery of all products available through the Trade Me Daily Deals channel. More...
