Police change the process of purchasing firearms
The online sale of firearms has become a hot topic this week and as a result Police have made a change to how they manage remote firearms sales.
This means if you’re buying a firearm that you don’t intend to pick up (i.e. it will be delivered), you will need to provide further information in order for Police to verify your firearms licence and allow you to complete the trade.
Buyers will need to have specific information from sellers that they must provide to Police. Police will fill out their form and then email it to the seller themselves to say they’ve sighted the buyer’s licence. More...

A tweak to our privacy policy
We’re making a couple of tweaks to our privacy policy in light of some awesome new services Trade Me is offering.
Shipping:
Starting this month, some of our sellers will be able to book a courier on Trade Me when they have sold an item. This means a courier will be able to pick up your sold item from your preferred location and deliver it to the buyer. This will be available on the desktop site only, from ‘Sold items’ on your My Trade Me page. We’ll roll this out to all sellers in early November. We’ll also be making subsequent releases on our iPhone and Android apps as well as My Products. More...
Redesigned listing page
We’re excited to announce that today we begin rolling out a new listing page in all General Items categories to more members. Up until now, the new page has only been visible to a small group of members, but over the next week or so we plan to roll it out to everyone.
What’s changed?
We’ve redesigned the listing detail page to make the browsing and buying experience better across Trade Me’s desktop site. There’s a fresh new look with tabbed sections for quick access to the Description and Questions & answers. More...
Scheduled Maintenance
We may have recently said we’re open 24/7/365, but every now and then we take the site down to perform important maintenance.
Just a heads up that Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2:00am and 5:00am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 6am will be extended by four hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. More...
