5:35 pm: Problems with uploading photos
We are currently experiencing a technical problem with our photo upload process and some images may not appear on the site.
We hope to have the problem fixed very shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Scheduled work tomorrow morning
Trade Me will be unavailable between approximately 5:30 am and 6:30 am on Saturday the 20th of January. All auctions due to close between 5:30 am and 7:30 am will be extended by 2 hours.
Our apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
New pricing for rental property listings
From midnight Tuesday, 16th January, the price of listing a rental property on Trade Me will increase from $19.95 to $29. You can continue to relist for free, so you only pay once until you find a tenant. No commissions or success fees apply.
Category changes
We have made a number of category changes to the Art category today. These changes have been made to help potential buyers more easily find items they are looking for. All of the other auction details including your photo will be carried over. If you have any feedback, please use the "contact us" link.

We also had some data problems between 11:55 pm last night and 3:50 am this morning. We are continuing to investigate this issue. More...
