Scheduled maintenance
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. Any saved search and category subscription emails will be sent after 5am.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Dannevirke region update
We’ve updated Dannevirke to be included in the region of Manawatu, rather than Hawke’s Bay. All existing auctions and member details will be automatically updated to reflect this change.
Relist notification emails (update)
We originally released this feature a few days ago, but had to temporarily disable it due to a technical issue.
We've now resolved the issue and re-enabled this feature, which allows you to receive an email when an item on your Watchlist has been relisted. Previously, you’d only receive these emails for items you had placed a bid on.
If you don’t want to receive these relist notifications, you can turn them off in your Email Options.
Christmas payment delay
Due to bank closures over Christmas there will be a delay in processing payments to your Trade Me account made by phone and internet banking.
If you pay by these methods, please be aware that payments made after 10pm Thursday 24th December will not be processed until Wednesday 30th December.
Sorry for the inconvenience, unfortunately it is beyond our control. We hope you have an enjoyable Christmas and a great New Year.
Changes to neutral and negative feedback
Over 50,000 members have neutral or negative feedback left by other members who have since been permanently banned from Trade Me. We don’t believe feedback from banned members should count, so we have removed it from all affected memberships and will continue to do so. This will not affect any positive feedback. Merry Christmas, and happy trading!
