Free accommodation website for Cantabrians is live
Back on 6 May we started building a free website to help Cantabrians find Auckland accommodation for Rugby World Cup 2011.
We switched this new service on today: you can find it at www.quakemates.co.nz. Via QuakeMates, Aucklanders will be able to offer “in-home” accommodation for free on the site, and Canterbury fans will be able to take up offers via the Trade Me email system.
The idea came about after Rugby World Cup Minister Murray McCully approached us and asked if we could help out the many Cantabrians who need to find Auckland accommodation for the RWC games relocated after the earthquake. More...

New pets option for rental listings
Good news for animal lovers out there looking for a place to rent on Trade Me Property - we’ve made a change that should help make your search a little easier.
Members listing residential property to rent will now have three options to choose from when it comes to pets and their property: ‘yes’, ‘no’ and the new option of ‘negotiable’. The words “pets negotiable” will appear in the text of listings when this new option is selected.
Change in banking details
Trade Me's bank account details for member payments are changing on 1 June. For the vast majority of members there will be no impact and the account number will automatically update when you credit your account as per the usual payment options.
However, although we do not encourage it, a small number of members credit their accounts "over the counter" at their bank branch. These people will need to get in touch to make sure they have the new account details. Alternatively, it might be a good time to switch to using one of the regular payment options.
Credit Card Payment Issues - Update
We experienced some issues with credit card payments tonight which resulted in members being unable to credit their accounts between 6:30pm – 7:01pm. These issues were NZ wide and affected all credit card and eftpos transactions. Our payment providers worked hard to resolve the issues and all members should now be able to credit their accounts.
