New message board spot for Top Sellers
We’ve added a new topic to the message board called Trade Me Top Sellers.
While you don’t have to be a Top Seller to post in there, we’re hoping it will be a central point for professional sellers to network and provide support, as well as discuss Trade Me features such as My Products and Pay Now.
The Top Seller team will pop in from time to time to offer advice and help. Happy chatting!

Keep safe online over Christmas/New Year's
We’re all winding into the mad Christmas rush and plenty of people are searching for a great deal. Unfortunately this also includes the lowlifes of the internet - scammers and phishers – who often target this period to take advantage of people.
These nefarious characters ramp up their efforts at this time of year. We’re aware of several scam emails doing the rounds that target New Zealand businesses, including a couple that are nasty attempts to imitate our site and those of banks.
We’re keen for our members not to have their Christmas ruined by being conned out of their hard-earned cash or personal information. We work hard to keep our site safe 24x7, but it’s pretty important you also have your guard up. More...
