New makes and models for Trade Me Motors
We’re always looking for ways to make it easier for sellers to list vehicles on Trade Me, and for buyers to find the vehicle they are looking for.
A listing that is described accurately is important to buyers and sellers alike, so today we’ve updated our Used car category by adding three car makes: McLaren, Morgan and Tesla, along with nearly 300 car models. We’ve also updated Motorbikes with the addition of 29 bike makes.
We hope you find these new categories useful. More...

A new policy for the sale of cats & dogs
Today we’re announcing the first in a range of measures to promote improved animal welfare when cats and dogs are listed on Trade Me. There are a few moving parts to this, but it will include a new Code of Animal Welfare, a listing cap for sellers which will come into effect on 23 July 2015 as well as some changes to the listing process which will be introduced over the coming weeks and months.
We’ve consulted widely on our policy changes over the past year and have already made some incremental changes along the way.
We have produced the Trade Me Code of Animal Welfare in close consultation with the New Zealand Veterinary Association, the Ministry for Primary Industries, and RNZSPCA. We would also like to acknowledge the input of the New Zealand Kennel Club, The New Zealand Cat Fancy, SAFE and Trade Me members into the policy. More...
It’s Fed Ex Day at Trade Me HQ
What cool stuff can our staff build in 24 hours? We're about to find out as Trade Me’s sixth ‘Fed Ex Day’ gets underway.
What is Fed Ex Day?
Fed Ex Day is Trade Me’s version of Atlassian’s ShipIt Day. It’s a 24-hour event where teams pull themselves together to dream up and complete a project, work furiously to bring their vision to life, and culminates in a no-holds-barred demo in front of the rest of the company.
We think it's a great way for our staff to work on some pretty interesting projects. One such project built during a past Fed Ex Day is our Spotify-based office music player, PlayMe, which is now used in our offices across the country. More...
Site Issue - Resolved
Earlier today we experienced an issue that caused Trade Me to be slow and photos to be unavailable for some members.
We’ve now resolved this issue and the site is running normally. Apologies for the inconvenience.
