New: Trade Me Jobs iPhone app
We’re extremely happy to announce the arrival of our new iPhone app for job hunters.
You can use our new app to apply for jobs straight from your smartphone. With around half of all Trade Me site traffic now coming from mobile devices, we thought it was a great time to create something tailored to today’s job hunter.
Category changes: Power tools
Just a wee update from your friendly ‘Category Change’ team – we’ve recently made some useful alterations to the Power tools category.
Here’s a snippet of some of the work we’ve done:
• Concreting tools is now ‘Concrete mixers & tools’
• Tools > Parts & accessories is now ‘Power tools > Accessories & consumables’
• Lifters, props & jacks is now ‘Lifters, winches & hoists’. More...
Adding brand to Trade Me Fashion
We’ve made some big changes in our Clothing & Fashion category recently, and we’re excited to introduce ‘brand’ to the list of optional attributes for sellers.
Sellers can now choose from a list of brands when selling in the Clothing & Fashion category, if appropriate for their item. This will make it easier for buyers to search for and find clothing items on Trade Me.
Using the brand attribute is optional, but we reckon it’s a good idea – the chances of buyers finding your item goes up the more relevant information you provide. More...
New feature: view school zones
In February we added property boundaries to listings on Trade Me Property and today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve released school zone information into the wild.
This means you can now view and filter by 'zone' and 'type' of school in the area for listings that have the correct address information. As with boundary zones, we think this is another handy feature to help potential buyers in their property hunting. It will also be useful for people looking to rent a home in the right place. There is some general information about property maps in our Help section.
Processing payments over Easter
Easter is almost here, so we wanted to give you a heads up there will be a delay with processing payments over the long weekend.
The banks will be closed on Friday 18 April and Monday 21 April (they need time to eat their Easter eggs, too!), so if you use phone or internet banking to top up your Trade Me account there will be a delay in your payment reaching us.
If your payment is made after 8pm today, it will arrive in your Trade Me account on the morning of Tuesday 22 April. More...
