Problem with photos
Last night we experienced a problem with photos on Trade Me. All photos were affected at some stage during the last 24 hours, and unfortunately we have been unable to recover some photos. Members whose auctions have been affected by the problem should receive an email from us.
In light of these difficulties we have extended some auctions. All auctions with photos due to close between 8am and 1pm Tuesday have been extended by 6 hours. This ensures that your auction will be available with photos long enough to take advantage of any last-minute bidding.
On auctions where we have been unable to recover the photos, we have extended the auctions by 24 hours. This allows sellers enough time to re-list photos on their affected auctions. More...
Photoserver update
We are currently in the process of recovering the photoserver, and hope to have this complete by midday. All auctions due to close from 8am have been extended by four hours.
