New digs for Trade Me HQ - and yes, we're hiring!
Over the past few weeks the Trade Me team in Wellington has been moving into a new office. It's nice and new, as well as being informal but serious like us, and we thought you might like to see some pics of it in action.
It’s great having everyone back together in one place – previously we’d had teams in four disparate locations in Wellington.
We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, and we reckon providing our staff with an environment that lines up with the way we tick is important. For the record there are three slides, a caravan (yes, it was bought on Trade Me), a lawnmower, 6 coffee machines and 268 great people spread across three floors. More...
Scheduled Maintenance
Just a heads up that Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2:00am and 6:00am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 7am will be extended by five hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Brand new in Fashion
We’ve just added the much-anticipated brand selector to the sidebar in the Clothing & Fashion category, so you can search by your favourite fashion brands.
There are hundreds of brands to choose from, and you can select and search for one or multiple brands at the same time.
You can now hone in on that favourite item with laser-like precision by using all the attributes that are important to you, including colour, size, style, brand, price and keyword. More...
Category change: Can you smell something?
The 'Category Change' team has been busy again, this time adding a heap of new fragrance categories to help you keep smelling your best.
We’ve added 27 new categories across both men’s and women’s fragrances, with many more popular brands now available.
Check out the spreadsheet for more sweet-smelling details on what we've done.
Category change: iPads on the move
A quick update from us this morning - we've just moved a range of iPad sub-categories with the goal of making them easier to find.
iPads and their related accessories (cases, components, docks, pens and more!) now all sit with the rest of the Tablets & E-book readers.
Check out the spreadsheet for more detail on what we've done.
