Sale of animal parts on Trade Me
We have clarified our policy on the sale of animal bodies and parts on the site.
You may only sell professionally processed pelts and animal parts of non-endangered animals on the site. As the seller it is your responsibility to make sure that the items you are selling to not come from an endangered species. You may not sell animal internal organs.
Collectables- New sub categories
Automotive & transport and Art deco & retro have now been divided into numerous sub categories.
If your item was listed in any of the categories that have been changed, you will be prompted to reselect a category from the new breakdown when relisting. All of the other auction details will be carried over as per normal, including your photo.
We hope you like the changes. If you have any feedback, please use the "contact us" link.
Pottery & glass, Stamps & coins
Today we have released a new top level category called "Pottery & glass". This new category includes pottery, porcelain, glass & crystal. We recognise that content in these categories are not just antiques, so this higher level category should gain lots of new attention for sellers, and make it easier to find the perfect piece in one place for buyers.
Stamps & coins have now been joined together, however all sub categories remain the same.
If your item was listed in any of the categories that have been changed, you will be prompted to reselect a category from the new breakdown when relisting. All of the other auction details will be carried over as per normal, including your photo. More...
Delays for auction emails
We have experienced some problems with the sending of emails, for auctions that closed between 11pm last night and 9am this morning.
We are in the process of clearing the backlog and you should receive your auction closing notifications shortly.
Sorry for the confusion and any inconvenience this may have caused.
2:05 pm - Technical problems
Our Internet connection was down between 1:20 pm and 1:47 pm today.
The problem has now been fixed, however auctions closing between 2 pm and 3 pm have been extended by an hour as a precaution.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
