Bulk listing tool coming soon
Within the next couple of months, sellers will be able to use a free listing tool to easily manage bulk inventory. Our new product listing tool will allow
sellers to:
• import and update listings in bulk
• assign a custom SKU/product code value
• set a product to relist and/or automatically send a fixed price offer
• specify a stock level to manage the automatic relist of items
• set an end time for automatic relists
We’ll give you an update closer to the time. Watch this space!
No phones on Saturday night/Sunday morning
A quick note from us to let you know that due to a scheduled power outage we will be operating without phones in the Customer Service team on Saturday night from 10pm, right through the night until 8am on Sunday morning.
It’s not anything to do with Trade Me, there are some power guys coming in to muck about with meters in our building down on the Wellington waterfront. We will still be answering emails, but we won’t be available to take phone calls.
(By the way, we won’t be sitting in the dark answering emails, we will be relocating the team to another building for the night.)

Database dig: Top 20 Trade Me searches

Nothing too earth-shattering here today: just some search info for the general Trade Me site (i.e. not Trade Me Motors or Jobs or Property).
