Shining the spotlight on service
We thought we were long overdue in tipping our hats to some of the traders providing truly outstanding customer service on the site. We asked our Analytics team (thanks Suhel) to run some numbers to shine the spotlight on some of our most impeccable traders.
The traders highlighted here all have mighty impressive records, having successfully completed more than 60,000 trades between them without a single negative feedback in sight. Some people just know how to get things right (and put things right), and they all come highly recommended by your fellow Trade Me members.

Trade Me to launch new services category in August
Just a little heads up from us that we are planning on launching a new “services” category on Trade Me at the end of August. This will be a place where small businesses can cost-effectively advertise their services. On the consumer side, Kiwis will be able to search for local businesses, as well as deliver and review the businesses’ feedback.
We are teaming up with NoCowboys, a services-focused website. As well as working with us to build listings in the services category, the NoCowboys team will also be involved in a range of other activities with Trade Me, including a role as the exclusive third party reseller for the category. Today, NoCowboys is contacting all its existing clients to let them know about the partnership.
“Services” will be a new category on the Trade Me homepage, and will sit in-between “Real estate” and “Sports”. It won’t be a separate vertical like Trade Me Motors, Trade Me Jobs and Trade Me Property. More...

Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2am and 5am tomorrow morning while we do some scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 6am will be extended by four hours.
