Unexpected site outage
Trade Me experienced an unexpected site outage last night from 9:45pm until 11:30pm. Unfortunately this outage was a result of a problem with one of our suppliers and was beyond our control. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

Changes to completed listing pages
There have been several changes to the completed listing pages for both buyers and sellers.
- Sellers can now see if they have placed feedback on the top bidder, or person who accepts an offer
- Buyers can now see if they have placed feedback on the seller
- Sellers can now remove old auctions from their "completed listing page"
- If a seller has a feedback rating of 10 or more (2 stars) they can remove the lead bid on their auction
- The search engine has been re-written to display less results, with more accuracy
- The 'my account' page now shows the last 500 transactions, can be browsed by pages, and is ordered with the latest transaction at the top in the same manner as internet banks
Change comments on auctions
Several people have been using the comments feature on auctions to abuse the seller, or try to destroy the trade with various comments.
From now on, a question will only be visible on an auction if the seller responds to it. This brings Trade Me into line with other auction sites.
If you discover an auction you think is fraudulant or obscene, the correct thing to do is use the complaint button at the foot of the auction, rather than leave
comments.
