Issue with Buy Now resolved
Earlier today we had some issues which meant some members would have had trouble using Buy Now for a few hours this morning.
We're sorry for the muck up, and the issue has now been fixed.
The Shielded Site Project is now on Trade Me
We’re proud to have added the Shielded Site Project shield to the footer of Trade Me. The shield allows victims of domestic abuse to get information and help without it showing in their search history.
The Shielded Site Project was started by Women’s Refuge and Saatchi & Saatchi to help victims of domestic violence and is on a number of sites around the country including Countdown, Z and the Warehouse.
It’s something small we can do for Kiwis who need help and we’ll be telling members about it in our newsletters, Newsroom and social media. More...

Supporting te reo Maori
We’ve taken a couple of small steps towards providing more support for te reo Maori.
We know we’re not perfect, as you may notice with the missing macrons in this announcement – our site technically can’t support them yet. Today’s changes are a small step, but the first of many and we hope you enjoy them.

Afterpay has landed
We announced in May that we've teamed up with Afterpay to offer a buy now, pay later payment option on Trade Me. We're pleased that as of today Trade Me members can now use Afterpay on over 1.3 million items across 230 categories.
Buyers who use Afterpay get their items immediately but pay it off in four fortnightly interest-free payments. For instance, if a buyer bought a pair of pants for $100 using Afterpay, they receive them straight away but pay them off in fortnightly payments of $25.
For more information check out the Afterpay help pages.
