New auction durations added
You now have the ability to run auctions for 2, 4, or 6 days. This is in addition to our existing options.
This change lets you choose the day your auction will end without having to use the scheduled end date feature.
Address Verification Status
All listings now clearly state whether a seller is Address Verified or not. Members who are not AV’d now have "Not Address Verified" in the About the seller section of their listings.
This is to provide buyers with better information about the seller. If you haven't already, become Address Verified for free!
Auction close emails
Between 7.10pm to 9.40pm a number of auctions were delayed in closing due to an internal problem. This has now been resolved. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused due to this delay.
5pm: Technical problem this afternoon
Trade Me was unavailable to some users between 4:38pm and 4:54pm this afternoon due to a network issue between some ISPs. This was outside our immediate control.
We apologise for the inconvenience, and are working on solutions to prevent the problem from happening again.
2:45 pm: Technical problem this afternoon
Trade Me was unavailable between 2:15 pm and 2:35 pm this afternoon due to a network problem. We have extended all auctions due to close between now and 3:00 pm by 30 minutes while we ensure the problem has been completely resolved.
We apologise for the inconvenience, and will do all we can to prevent the problem from happening again.
